What follows are notes from a 4 April 2025 presentation in Kelowna, British Columbia, at The Future of Canadian Conservatism, a conference hosted by the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Student Association of the University of British Columbia. These include Jonathan Kay, a doctor at the University of Massachusetts who ranks as a renowned expert in rheumatology. I’ve considered accepting one of these invitations for the sake of performance art, and then regaling my audience by reading aloud from the Wikipedia entry for rheumatology (a branch of medicine that concerns inflammation, apparently).
