Peter Foster on Financial Post. Seems to be a Canadian paper. He writes well.

Here is a line of his I liked:

"… the Earth-centred Ptolemaic system of astronomy, based on elaborately waltzing planets, “worked” for a long time, but eventually became a monster whose complications overwhelmed its usefulness. Then along came Copernicus. The resultant destruction of the Earth-centred universe led to enormous soul-searching…

“For most modern liberals, including many scientists, the market sun still goes round the government Earth, and it’s a paradigm they are reluctant to change.”

Peter Foster has my endorsement, FWIW. Of course, no one praises him because he doesn’t praise the magical powers of government to improve the economy.

It’s great being given new columnists to read, especially ones who can successfully mix their intelligence with writing fluidity. Part of the reason I love Charles Krauthammer’s column so much.
