Christopher Dummitt: This Canada Day, let’s cancel the cancellers

If ever there was a sign that we are spending too much time indoors away from genuine human contact, it is the idea that of all the countries in the world, Canada is the one with such an outrageous history of violence and oppression that we ought to cancel the annual national holiday.

Matt Spoke: While Canada dithers, El Salvador wagers on Bitcoin

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele announced that the country’s congress had just approved a law classifying Bitcoin as legal tender. Of course, the cynics rolled their eyes, and they’ll continue to do so.

The Tory Syndrome therefore led to a vicious cycle: the party’s infighting resulted in part from a lack of power, and in turn made it even more difficult to win.

Sean Speer: Centre Block’s massive price tag shows Canadian life is mired in red tape

We now find ourselves in the odd company of the Slovak Republic and other former communist states when it comes to the efficiency and expectedness of our regulatory processes. This isn’t generally a good sign.

Howard Anglin: Bill C-32 elevates language over all other forms of diversity

The government’s proposed legislation will make the pool of potential Supreme Court justices more Laurentian and more elite.

Joanna Baron: Without a Governor General, Canada lacks institutional independence

The media has mostly been silent about the risks posed by the Governor General vacuum to our institutional independence and legitimacy. Have they failed to grasp the risk to institutional independence and legitimacy occasioned by Richard Wagner’s tenure as acting Governor General?

Brent H. Cameron: The rural-urban split matters more than you think

More than 80 percent of Canadians inhabit an urban living space, in an environment that does not see big government as inherently bad. The challenge for the modern conservative movement lies in this fact.

Caroline Elliott: Quebec’s Bill 21 forgets the ‘liberal’ in liberal democracy

Cultural and religious minorities are not the only ones who should be worried about Bill 21. Anyone who believes in liberal democracy ought to vigorously oppose it, too.

Harry Rakowski: Long-haul COVID-19 is another pressing reason to get vaccinated

Vaccine hesitancy has been increased by the belief that healthy people who get infected will only feel like they got the flu. However, it is important to remember that even those with mild symptoms may develop long-haul COVID symptoms, which can be debilitating.

The federal government could work with provincial governments to require that cities allow what’s known as “missing middle” housing on every single parcel citywide.
