"In all of Canada, only two distant relatives have been identified as looking for their ancestors from any residential school. In both cases, the children were found in provincial archives whose records showed they were properly interred."

Under Maggie, "Academics lost security of tenure...[while] the university grants committee was replaced by a funding council, on which academics were reduced to a minority." Great ideas, but Left radicalism got worse, not better.

A true conservatism rejects all forms of centralized rule over the little platoons of life, while encouraging virtues that go well beyond selfish freedom. Join @NASorg in working to restore these things on campus and beyond.

China's state TV encourages "cultural integration" of Cambodia during joint military drills. Along with Cambodia's newly-announced air defense system, this is clearly China's key base for regional operations.

My 5,000 word debunking of Adam Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost will appear in the next issue of The American Conservative. A travesty of history that Hollywood is making into a movie.
