I am delighted to announce that my latest book is available at Amazon: Untangling Trudeau: MAID, COVID, ABORTION, LGBTQ+.

As you can see on the book’s cover (see image), my “endorsements” are fictional (though they contain some large nuggets of truth) and humorous. I should add, for the sake of clarity, that the rest of the book is not fictional and not funny. The truths I write about are sad – and disturbing.

This self-published book is a collection of several of my previously-published articles concerning some faulty views of Canada’s soon-to-be former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. More specifically, this book is about Trudeau’s tangled-up thinking on the following four topics:

  1. MAID (so-called “medical assistance in dying,” which, on Trudeau’s watch, turned into government promotion of killing instead of actual assistance in living);
  2. COVID (via Trudeau’s mishandling of the COVID-19 crisis in Canada, Canadians ended up facing two pandemics: a COVID pandemic and a pandemic of prime ministerial power-mongering and ineptitude);
  3. ABORTION (it turns out that Trudeau’s abortion-choice ideology is blind to reason, truth, and actual choice – and is even sexist);
  4. LGBTQ+ (this is yet another of Trudeau’s blind-to-reason, blind-to-truth and blind-to-choice ideologies, leaving in its wake of wokeness little actual help for many confused young people).

Of course, many other topics could have been included in a book whose main title is Untangling Trudeau. Examples: Canada’s runaway inflation, wild deficit spending, censorship, carbon tax, housing crisis, SNC-Lavalin scandal, etc. These are important topics, for sure. But, to keep the book’s length manageable, I focus on the four topics listed in my book’s subtitle: MAID, COVID, ABORTION, LGBTQ+. It seems to me that careful truth-seeking thought on these four topics is hugely important but neglected in Canada’s public discourse. Hence, my book.

I hope my book helps Canadian citizens stand on guard intellectually and courageously to keep Canada strong and free.
