No one should mourn America’s withdrawal from the ridiculous Paris Agreement.

The scandalous, nonsensical truth about the Paris Agreement is that it obliges literally nothing. It requires governments to, every five years, submit pieces of paper called ‘Intended Nationally Determined Contributions’ (INDCs), which can consist of saying you plan to go on doing what you are doing to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. Or even to do less than you were doing before. Most countries can then ignore the INDCs and do whatever they feel like anyway. There is almost no monitoring involved, let alone reprimanding, indicting or punishing.

B.C. politician fined $750,000 for his views on trans issues in schools

Two stories of a civilization in decline. Regrettably, we're talking about Canada, of course

Two stories unfolding at the same time show where the West is headed on free speech — and which countries are still capable of telling the difference between words and crimes.

In the United States, British political activist Tommy Robinson was recently admitted after receiving a rare visa waiver. That matters. Robinson has prior convictions in the United Kingdom, and the U.S. is famously ruthless about border enforcement. Deportations are routine. Waivers like this are not.

The message is clear: American authorities no longer accept the British government’s treatment of political dissidents at face value. When speech is the alleged crime, the UK justice system no longer commands automatic trust.

America, at least for now, still understands that speech is not violence.

Canada does not.

In British Columbia, former ...

We’re officially on the road!

On Tuesday, we kicked off the Alberta Independence Tour in Mirror — and not even a major snowstorm could keep people home.

That alone should tell you something.

Albertans are ready to have a serious conversation about the future of this province. They’re not waiting for permission, and they’re certainly not letting bad weather stand in their way.

Tonight, we’re back at it in Red Deer, and there’s still time to grab a last-minute ticket.

Tomorrow, we’ll be in Edmonton for a sold out show. (If you’ve been thinking about coming, consider this your sign to grab tickets for another stop!)

Your next chance to join us will be in Calgary on February 26 — you can see all our upcoming dates right here.

You’ll hear from Sheila Gunn Reid, Cory Morgan, and me, and you’ll get your chance at the mic during our open Q&A.

This isn’t just another political event. It’s a live, unscripted conversation about Alberta’s ...
