@kateemarland @nationalpost Excellent piece, @kateemarland!!

Messi may look like a hero until you look at his history with women. Since he was a teenager it has been one woman, Antonela Roccuzzo.

He has a net worth of over $1 billion and is the greatest soccer player in history, yet his greatest achievement is his faithfulness to his wife and sons.

He’s not a hero, he’s a superhero.

Do independent schools cost taxpayers more?
The data says no. They save Albertans thousands per student. 💡
Free thinking starts with the facts.

There's been a lot of anti-reality opinion about independent schools in Alberta (and everywhere else for that matter). Reality check: They save money and they keep diverse options open for how your kids learn. A new study from our research director, @DavidHunt_

[David Hunt @DavidHunt_]

New study out today runs the numbers on the fiscal impact of independent schools & home education programs in Alberta. Bottomline: saves taxpayers billions, while providing much-needed services.

"Even if you believed the union's nonsense about 'taking resources,' you physically cannot eliminate independent school funding in the short or medium term.

Why? The hard mathematics of school capacity."

Our 3rd book is out! And it's trending #1 in its three categories.

With a foreword by PM Jean Chrétien, author Bob Plamondon gives fresh insights from unpublished archival material that's even more relevant than we could've imagined when research began.

YouTube has blocked us from advertising this video, on the grounds that supporting Israel "incites hate".

You be the judge: Is this inciting people to hate or to... think?

[The Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy @AristotleFdn]

Do you remember when anti-Western radicals in Vancouver recently chanted, “Death to Canada, death to the United States, death to Israel!”?

Those attacking Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran also have a frightening number of supporters in our country.

Watch our video on why Canadians should support Israel:

"Affirmative action discrimination and other forms of racial preference are pervasive in Canada’s public institutions." The @AristotleFdn 's @matlau10 on the illiberal, discriminatory nature of DEI.

If you're wondering why Canadians don't trust things like they used to, I may remind you of that time we were plunged into national mourning by an inaccurate ground-penetrating radar survey, and that people want you in jail for mentioning as much. https://t.co/4tqlxV6KFy

How Canada came to replace equality before the law with illiberal, reverse discrimination, i.e., "equity". Queen's law professor and @AristotleFdn Senior Fellow @PardyBruce in a column based on his new Aristotle Foundation study. https://t.co/E6YqCDq4D0

[The Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy @AristotleFdn]

While Canada's constitution hasn't changed for more than 40 years, the way it has been applied by our highest court has. Even the equality provision meant to treat Canadians equally has been reinterpreted to mean “equity”. https://t.co/c5DqSe2cFW

[The Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy @AristotleFdn]

In Canada, even a clear Charter provision about legal equality of the individual (Section 15 (1)) has been converted into its opposite, into an “equity” provision. This is in addition to Section 15(2) which already allowed for illiberal and unequal treatment of the individual.

My latest for @nationalpost and probably the most research-intensive story I've written since joining the news team: https://t.co/Wqkcb6iWd0

There are a few points worth highlighting here, so let's get into it 🧵

[The Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy @AristotleFdn]

It's easy to find someone or something to blame for our problems, and as the French Revolutionaries did, try starting with a blank slate. But people should recognize why our institutions exist and how they got there before becoming too eager to pull them down.
