"British Columbia was once considered the future of Canada. Now, under the NDP government led by Premier David Eby, it has become Trudeauism with a provincial flag. Eby’s government spends, manages, moralizes, intervenes in daily life, and is convinced that bureaucratic supervision is the solution to all of the province’s problems, despite all evidence to the contrary." — @GeoffRuss3

The province could have its own renaissance of the right, writes Geoff Russ nationalpost.com/opinion/geoff-…

"One lesson from South Africa is that a threat need not arrive all at once. It can emerge through institutions, incentives, and political habits that slowly narrow the room for resistance."

"If property rights are to be defended in a fragmented and ambiguous legal environment, they will not be defended by one heroic organisation acting alone, but by overlapping institutions, independent funding, legal creativity, and disciplined cooperation." The first by @uMarhobane in @WDiminishment on how alliances, smart decisions, and avoiding idealistic schemes are essential to ensuring property is secure in British Columbia. withoutdiminishment.com/p/lessons-from…

A brilliant and timely piece from Mr Duigan, especially if you're rightfully concerned about the ramifications of the Cowichan decision
Without Diminishment@WDiminishment

Robert Duigan: Lessons from South Africa on protecting property rights "This is the task of generations, not of political cycles. But when a moment of decision presents itself, one must be decisive." withoutdiminishment.com/p/lessons-from…

Oil from Alberta has helped Canada weather economic crises and continues to underpin our exports while driving our economy. Does that make us a "petrostate" of sorts? Yes, and that’s fine. The cycle of boom and bust is not ideal, but it is far better than the ballooned bureaucracy in Ottawa, and the intrusive welfare state ideology that comes with it. No corporation in Tokyo, Singapore, or Seoul has ever wired money to Canada because CIRNAC held another meeting. Striking deals to export commodities like oil creates the wealth. We should be striving to sign more such deals, not finding ways to twist and roadblock Alberta and other energy producers. My latest for @WDiminishment. withoutdiminishment.com/p/better-a-pet…

Ridiculous. JFK interfered in the 1963 federal election to ensure John Diefenbaker was ousted from power. Canada has had far better friends in the White House than JFK, but they aren't celebrated here because they were Cold War Republicans, not New Deal Democrats.

For the record. Canadian investors should ignore the partisan noise and performative outrage surrounding the current U.S. administration; what matters for Canada is policy, not personality, and the hard facts are that our economy, our security and our markets are still inextricably tied to the United States. As John F. Kennedy reminded Parliament in 1961, ‘Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies.’ For investors, that enduring reality matters far more than the latest viral clip or talking point.

Geoff Russ: Better a petrostate than a welfare state "Canada exists to protect Canadians, and to make it possible for them to build, trade, and profit from their property and the land. "If that makes us a petrostate, cheers to that." withoutdiminishment.com/p/better-a-pet…

The "Education" programs at our universities offer perhaps the most blatantly subversive, anti-Canadian, and anti-civilizational curricula currently available. It is no surprise that this is the result.
Eric Lombardi (EricForOLP.ca) 🇨🇦🚀@EricDLombardi

What even is this. The west has produced the most humane, diverse, and prosperous societies in history. Human rights, individual freedoms, respect for difference, healthy systems of accountability for the powerful. Many things we value greatly came from enlightenment and western values. Is it not possible to teach indigenous history without teaching kids to hate the civilization they belong to? I genuinely hope this is fake.
