His work focuses on environmental law, climate change, energy policy, property and tort theory, human rights, university governance, free markets, and the rule of law. He advocates for equal application of the law, negative rights, private property, limited government, and separation of powers. Pardy has taught in Canada, the US, and New Zealand, practiced civil litigation in Toronto, and served on the Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal. He is a vocal commentator on civil liberties, notably co-creating the Free North Declaration to protect rights against COVID-19 overreach.
