Rich Lowry NY Post, Feb. 1, 2022 JOE Biden was the candidate of normality who hasn’t been able to deliver it, particularly on the pandemic. This is not entirely his fault, obviously. He didn’t create the Delta and Omicron surges; nor did he — or most anyone else — foresee that the vaccines wouldn’t prevent […]
Chaos is the new, the intentional, normal. A pandemic of nihilism has been unleashed upon the land. As in Lord of the Flies, when laws, rules, protocols, traditions, and customs are mocked and dismantled, primitive human nature in the raw is unleashed. Madness now reigns in every quarter, from the iconic to the irrelevant to the […]
Derek H. Burney National Post, Feb. 1, 2022 Joe Biden began his second year as president with a rare press conference that was longer than any given by a U.S. president. It did not resonate well. White House staff and the president had to walk back gaffes he made about the threat against Ukraine where […]

Eric Reguly The Globe and Mail, Jan. 14, 2022 “For Big Oil, the good times have returned in a cloud of soot and planet-warming greenhouse gases, and investors couldn’t be happier.” Big Oil wasn’t supposed to be Big Oil by now. The world’s largest stock market-listed oil companies were supposed to be different beasts at […]
Henry Geraedts Financial Post, Jan. 13, 2022 “In the United States, meanwhile, the Biden Administration’s radical climate promises encountered reality checks throughout 2021.” Two months after the dreadful sham of COP26, Western governments are still in denial about what actually happened: Net Zero’s magical thinking met unyielding global energy realities and it lost, leaving the […]

Rex Murphy National Post, Jan. 20, 2022 “Why does the government of Canada profess we have a “duty” to the world to work towards eradicating the energy supply and system that we already have, that has mostly served us well, that has brought fortune and security to the nation?” I’ll go to the biggest one […]
Yadullah Hussain Financial Post, Jan. 19, 2022 “I noticed a marked apathy towards the country’s energy riches. I get it. We don’t always think about the hungry when we are tucking into our steaks.” Rolling power blackouts were a feature of my childhood. While my family was privileged enough to have access to a diesel-powered […]

J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Jan. 30, 2022 “As with all such dramas, there is backstory. And that’s what interests us, and may hold a key to where all this is going.” The initial indication of it came in a form that, in different circumstances, is usually prosaic: a hazard notice to airmen (NOTAM) lodged […]
Eric Reguly The Globe and Mail, Jan. 24, 2022 “The International Energy Agency has accused Moscow of creating “artificial tightness” in the European gas markets by reducing exports by about a quarter more than a year ago, despite record prices, as tensions over Ukraine mounted.” Even before Russia installed 100,000 soldiers along the Ukrainian frontier […]
Caroline B. Glick Israel Hayom, Jan. 28, 2022 “Today, NATO cannot act collectively against Putin in a coherent way because Germany no longer views Russia as a strategic threat, and no longer views the US as a leader it needs to follow.” Without firing a bullet, Putin and his 120,000 soldiers have fomented the unofficial […]
Anna Ahronheim Jerusalem Post, Jan. 30, 2022 “This is a second variation of the Cold War with three sides – Russia, China and the United States. The question is how bad can it go?” The standoff between Russia and the West over Ukraine is the beginning of a variation of a second Cold War, and Israel is […]

Jacob Kornbluh The Forward, Jan. 27, 2022 “I still remember him telling me the story of the shock that he encountered when he entered the concentration camp and saw the survivors, the piles of bodies and the unbearable stench. It was a formative experience in his life.” On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Israel’s new ambassador […]
