Providing First Nations with mineral rights may help ease uncertainty over Canadian mining development

CALGARY, Alta.—Canada could improve its attractiveness for mining investment by allowing private ownership of mineral rights, particularly if mineral rights were given to First Nations, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

The Tech Industry's Immigration Lies

One of the primary narratives associated with comprehensive immigration reform has nothing to do with the millions of low-skill workers that would be granted an opportunity to compete against Americans for jobs. As a letter sent to the president and Congressional leaders signed by more than 100 chief executives of major tech companies and trade associations indicates, there is a shortage of highly-skilled American labor that drives reform as well. Yet as the Atlantic's Michael S. Teitelbaum reveals, that narrative is a lie.

Developments in Iranian Cyber Warfare, 2013-2014

Over the course of 2013, Iran became one of the most active players in the international cyber arena. Iran’s progress can be attributed to a combination of two elements: a certain easing of the restraints on offensive activity in cyberspace by Iranian decision makers, and a qualitative leap by the Iranian cyber warfare system. The rapid development of Iran’s cyber warfare capability means that Israel and other Western countries must work decisively and systematically to maintain qualitative and operational superiority in cyberspace. The importance of cyberspace for Israel’s security concept and the urgency of creating a “digital Iron Dome” were well expressed by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz: “Israel must be on a superpower level in cyberspace…we must not wait with this.”

Q&A on Supreme Court's New Campaign Finance Decision

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that it is unconstitutional to limit the total amount of money someone can give to political candidates.

Working people are not celebrating ObamaCare

“This law is doing what it’s supposed to do. It’s working. It’s helping people from coast to coast.” - President Obama, April 1, 2014 That is what the president said after the close of ObamaCare’s open enrollment period on March 31. He touted that 7.1 million people had signed up for ObamaCare through the exchanges, and considered that a victory.

This Debate IS Over! Free Speech Trumps Campaign Finance Fascism!

Whilst Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and various and sundry other Progressive fairy-tale practitioners, in cahoots with the left-beholden mainstream media, wasted a perfectly good April Fools Day by spinning the long-overdue death of Marxist health care into a phony celebration of victory for the national curse disdainfully known as ObamaCare, really big news was breaking from the oligarchy of black-robed, unelected savants whom occupy seats on the Supreme Court.

Shooter kills 3 at Ford Hood, where no one is allowed to carry guns

It doesn't sound like terrorism this time, although you can't really put much stock in the predictable initial pronouncement that "authorities are downplaying terrorism," since they've done that many times when it did indeed turn out to be terrorism. It's just that as far as we know Ivan Lopez has no connection to any terrorist group nor any Muslim background.

Saving Civilization Means Killing Equality

If a famine befell us and you couldn't save everyone, would you withhold the food you had and let every citizen starve rather than endure the inequality of just saving some? If recent history is any guide, certain leftists just might say yes.

The Wailing about Whaling

The International Court of Justice in The Hague has spoken: In a 12-to-4 judgment the court found that Japan was in breach of its international obligations by catching and killing Minke whales and issuing permits for hunting Humpback and Fin whales within the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, established by the International Whaling Commission well after the commission had come into effect (New York Times).

The Most Profitable Gas in the World

There is only one certainty in Ukraine: The energy sector must and will be transformed, and how long this takes will depend on who ends up in the driver’s seat and how serious they are about becoming a part of Europe and reducing dependence on Russia. But by then, investors will have missed the boat.

Resuscitating US-Saudi Relations

President Obama’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia was aimed at restoring Riyadh’s confidence that the United States would come to the monarchy’s defense in times of need. The bilateral bargain of oil for security has been the underpinning of US-Saudi relations since the meeting between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and King Ibn Saud aboard the destroyer USS Quincy in the Suez Canal in February 1945. In the decades that followed, Saudi Arabia upheld its part of the bargain by regulating its oil exports, partly on the basis of US strategic considerations. However, US conduct on certain regional issues, particularly the Iranian nuclear project and the situation in Syria, has led to a growing sense of disenchantment and the perception that the US is a superpower in retreat. There is growing suspicion in Riyadh that the US will not maintain its part of the equation and deliver security.

Twilight of the Red and Green

The left has never adapted to the transition from nationalistic wars to ideological wars. It took the left a while to grasp that the Nazis were a fundamentally different foe than the Kaiser and that pretending that World War 2 was another war for the benefit of colonialists and arms dealers was the behavior of deluded lunatics. And yet much of the left insisted on approaching the war in just that fashion, and had Hitler not attacked Stalin, it might have remained stuck there.

Miraculous Tune-up of ObamaCare Numbers Machine!

Over the past several months, the Obama administration has consistently thwarted media and public attempts to secure accurate and reliable data about the success, or (God forbid) failure, of ObamaCare.
