‘Post-Liberals’ Look the Other Way Rather Than Address Antiwhite Racism
Catholic ‘post-liberals’ like Patrick Deneen give the impression of wanting to burnish their conservative credentials while avoiding sticky subjects. A real defense of Western civilization should not turn a blind eye to the evil of the left’s antiwhite racism.

Tearing Down Canada’s Past
Celebration of Canada Day in modern-day Canada is marked by official attempts to shame the nation’s history and tear down the monuments of its past. Canada is a “post-national state” and an archetypal example of a late-modern, so-called liberal democracy.
