Quite a few articles out for peer review right now. Hopefully expect some stuff on Peter Brimelow, Pierre Poilievre/Milton Friedman, James Buchanan/Canadian Taxpayers Federation in 2026. Have others nearly finished and in the tank.

Plus my book manuscript is at UofT Press... Hopefully a good year.

Canada has become a hostage of its own housing bubble Any project aimed at restoring housing affordability must articulate a plan to reform the large swathes of the economy that depend on the commodification of our homes, argues James Hardwick. The time ...

Half of us are depending on an ever-expanding real estate bubble to sustain our financial wellbeing while the other half faces a life of precarity until the bubble deflates. Restoring affordability means rebuilding the economy on something other than housing speculation, writes James Hardwick.

"Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth."

Meet Danielle Smith, Canada’s Ayn Rand in Cowboy Boots Danielle Smith, Alberta’s leader, is fusing libertarian dogma with oil-soaked grievance politics. It’s Canada’s version of the New Right, dressed up in provincial pride.

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.
