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 […]
Yaakov Hagoel Jerusalem Post, Jan. 27, 2022 “This is the day when a shout goes out from one end of the world to the other; antisemitism is antisemitism is antisemitism, no matter what cloak it tries to hide behind.” Each club has its own entrance ticket which sets its members apart. Political parties, teams, sports associations […]
Jonathan Tobin United With Israel, Jan. 27, 2022 “Everyone already knows that the “Never Again” talk uttered by world leaders is without value.” It was a great day for Israeli diplomacy. For the first time, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution sponsored by the Jewish state and it received nearly universal support. Adopted on Jan. […]

Sheldon Kirschner The Times of Israel, Jan. 26, 2022 “Petain tells Laval that while Jewish citizens of France can’t be deported, stateless Jews can be.” Shortly after Germany conquered France in 1940, the collaborationist Vichy regime of Henri Philippe Petain announced its first antisemitic law. It relegated Jews to second-class citizenship and paved the way […]
