  “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” It’s said that Mao Zedong, the most famous of Justin Trudeau’s dictatorial Chinese idols, first uttered this maxim on August 7, 1927. I think it was Naheed Nenshi, Calgary’s Masked Mayor, on December 18, 2020.  For the sake of today’s political commentary, I’m going to attribute this quote to Calgary Mayor … [Read more...]

It’s frustrating because, for example, if I were to leave a loaded handgun and ammunition behind the receptionist’s desk at a physiotherapy clinic, I … [Read more...]
