I recently wrote about Canada’s euthanasia regime, which is set to expand in March 2024 when people with no more than a mental illness or a drug addiction will be given access to assisted suicide.

In all my years of existence, the Second Amendment of our Constitution has always been considered controversial. Opponents claim it is the cause of gun violence.

For a long time now, conservatives and other traditionally minded people have been on the cultural back foot.
