Unknown, Accidental Deliberations - 11 hours ago
While we'll find out this afternoon what (if anything) the Moe Saskatchewan Party will do in terms of action against COVID-19, Jason Warick's report on its consultation process doesn't offer any reason for confidence. It's bad enough that Moe is only consulting with groups who have an obvious motivation to avoid restrictions.

Billions of people still do that because they lack centralized energy and the environmental costs are enormous. Even if those people had been allowed to switch to coal, emissions...

Of the 18 largest US pharmaceutical companies, 15 had totally abandoned the field.

The contest between liberty and slavery is eternal—when a people lose their liberty, they win their slavehood. What is liberty for one group might be slavehood for another.

Hardly anyone, barring the anarchists and libertarians whose goals are often utopian, wants the nation to have total freedom, and in a stable society the...
