In 2000, Lee Kuan Yew gave a 2-hour masterclass on leadership worth more than an MBA.
He built Singapore into a First World nation in one generation
His frameworks:
- Why IQ alone destroys leaders
- Trustees, not owners
- How trust is built in crisis
12 lessons on how to lead:

I hate the municipal slate system in BC. Too many parties often with silly names - I have trouble remembering who's who and I'm a newshound. I much prefer the ward system... the slates just force them all to vote like trained seals for their "team".

The day after David Eby told you that you can’t drink American liquor he held an open bar party and served American liquor 🥃

Memorising and reciting poetry isn’t just quaint - it's the hallmark of a truly civilised mind argues @BijanOmrani. It forges deep cultural roots. Now schools are ditching memory work while screens fry our attention spans. If civilisation is slipping, it's because we're forgetting poetry. telegraph.co.uk/gift/c68be7fca…

Today's SCC decision finding it's discriminatory to exclude asylum seekers from subsidized daycare has huge financial implications. Taxpayers may now need to fund anyone who enters Canada and claims asylum equally in housing, health too, unless gov'ts use notwithstanding clause.

The collapse of friendships, marriage, family formation, dating, voluntary associations, church attendance, union membership, thick political party membership and other spaces where people interacted, bonded and were moulded is a dark and disturbing development in modern life.

"Over 2/3 of young adults" are not dating regularly. "If trends continue, 1-in-3 young adults will not get married. The implications are staggering: a generation of permanent bachelors—& bachelorettes—untethered from the bonds that have given life its deepest meaning." @wapo

Canadian opposition leader @PierrePoilievre sketches out what a CANZUK alliance would mean in practice at the Centre for Policy Studies' Margaret Thatcher Lecture. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧
1. Automatic professional recognition - so a doctor, nurse, or engineer licensed in one country could practice in all four.
That would strengthen health care and key services across our countries. It would require Canada’s provinces to sign on - but they need doctors. If someone can perform heart surgery in Sydney, Australia, they should be able to do so in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Extraordinary to think of the talent of Disraeli and Gladstone V the lack of talent today. Can you imagine a novel by Starmer? Or a disquisition on Homer from Ed Davey?

Benjamin Disraeli first became PM on this day 1868. From his 1844 novel Coningsby: ‘Manchester is as great a human exploit as Athens … It is the philosopher alone who can conceive the grandeur of Manchester and the immensity of its future.’

Vancouver City Council is looking to increase the maintenance budget for sidewalks & roads by 3x from $34 million to $104 million over the next four years. For just sidewalks, there's a $500+ million repair cost & a 400-year-long backlog. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

In the Globe today, I sketched out the worldview of "Poilievre conservatism" - a new coalition of the locked out combined with an older conservatism grounded in liberty & common sense and with intellectual debts to figures like Laurier, Dief and Manning:

Nineteenth-century cities grew fast. Berlin’s population grew twenty times, Manchester’s twenty-five times, and New York’s a hundred times. Sydney’s population grew around 240 times and Toronto’s maybe 1,700 times. Between 1833 and 1900, Chicago’s population grew around five thousand times, meaning that on average it doubled every five years.
Homes were larger and far more affordable. Vast networks of trams, buses and suburban railways were built. Running water, gas, drains and electricity was retrofitted into old fabric. Despite having been built at breakneck speed, cities in 1914 were pretty good places.
How was this achieved? The short answer: vigorous interventionism about streets and drains, state-mandated monopolies for transport and utilities infrastructure, and lightly regulated permissiveness for everything else.

Richard Nixon in 1968 on 60 Minutes, when asked if he was awed by JFK's money and social grace:
“No. I fought my way up all the way… When you've gone through the fires of having to work your way through school, of having to fight campaigns with no money, of having to do it all on your own, you come out a pretty strong man, and you're not in awe of anybody.”
In 51 seconds, Richard Nixon delivered one of the most raw, unapologetic lines about self-made grit ever captured on national TV.
No excuses. No envy. Just the quiet confidence that comes from building everything yourself.
Still hits hard in 2026.
What’s the one “fire” in your life that forged the strongest part of who you are today?

Roger Douglas cut almost all farm subsidies in his first budget. One interesting consequence was that it turned farmers into allies for the rest of the reforms. They'd lost their protections but still bore the costs of everyone else's, so they pushed to get rid of them 🧵

Have written my column on one of the most interesting political essays I've ever read, because it argues that essentially everything modern British politicians think about political and economic strategy is completely wrong. (1/?)
