Trump’s Tariff Wall Is Beginning to Crack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump says tariffs make America richer. The problem is that the people paying them are increasingly beginning to understand that it’s not the foreign sellers but the American consumers ‘paying the freight’.That may sound like a simple distinction, but it goes to the heart of the most consequential economic argument now taking place inside the Republican Party. Trump has made tariffs the centrepiece of his economic nationalism. Ronald Reagan, the Republican president who defined the party’
Is Canada Being Subverted Without Knowing It? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A country does not have to be invaded to be weakened. It does not have to be governed by people working for a foreign power. Sometimes all that’s required is a deeply divided society, declining confidence in its institutions and an adversary clever enough to seek out the cracks and then push a little. I believe Canada resembles that description today and it makes me concerned, often, even fearful.In 1970, a man named Yuri Bezmenov defected to Canada from the Soviet Union. What he brought with hi
Trump and Canada: The Joke That Never Went Away (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I began writing on Substack in the spring of 2025, almost every move Donald Trump made was worthy of examination. That is understandable and it became routine.

Personally, I leaned toward Trump because I believed he wa
Carney’s Canada: The World Is Applauding. But When the Applause Stops, What Are We Buying? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is something almost surreal happening to Canada. I find many Canadians seem confused. They love Mark Carney, but they cannot provide any real reason why. I read another author’s Substack post asserting the opposite and using his CV coupled with his ‘engagement’ with Europe as major justifications, supported by his unwillingness to engage in Trump-like name calling. No argument from me. But how does any of that inform me of what all of this has to do with stopping the bleeding of Canadian j
The Canada We Hope to Wake Up To in 2027 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editor’s Note: I have not looked favourably on what Canada’s been doing during the upheavals of the past year, not just here, but around the world. Canada really hasn’t taken any significant initiatives in a dozen years. But, I decided to look at current major undertakings together and write about what actually could be…it’s a more positive view. Right now, it’s imaginary but this could be real…There is something almost unsettling about watching Canada suddenly discover that it has options. It i
