What if … Justin Trudeau had met with the truckers the day they first arrived in Ottawa? Instead of bolting and hiding out in an “undisclosed location,” what if Canada’s prime minister had emerged from the Privy Council building and talked to the Freedom Convoy drivers about their demands? Might Trudeau have defused the entire […]
Democrats in Congress want to solve the semiconductor shortage. What a truly terrible idea. Show me a situation in which legislators tried to fix a market imbalance, and I will show you a trail of tears.
