“I’m not going to accuse @JustinTrudeau of being a racist. But he’s the master of identity politics, and the Libs just spent months accusing everyone of being white supremacists. He definitely is the biggest hypocrite in the country.” CPP leader Maxime Bernier on PM Justin Trudeau in blackface.

There is little evidence in polling to suggest that any Canadians outside The Gatekeepers are in new torment over Scheer’s commitment to LGBT and women's rights. But discovering that would require the dormant media to leave its bubble. Which they’re not going to do if it hurts their fellow passengers on the Left.

The tell in all these crimes is not guns but their theatrical, highly public nature. Sometimes the perpetrators admit as much when they’re captured alive or their social media posts are revealed after their deaths. In their perverse, sociopathic minds, they are performing just as the knife throwers and blues singers do on AGT. The stars of network TV will have to say my name. I will be famous. 

The fact that this panel will not feature real journalists like Robert Fife of the Globe & Mail or Christie Blatchford of the National Post is the tipoff that everyone will get a good behaviour badge for their questioning.

For the next two years, Baquet told his staff, the Times would turn its anti-Trump megaphone into a cudgel the would leave Trump exposed as the virulent racist that he is. And presumably, have the public thanking the Times as they tossed him from office.

If you’re an average white person in Canada or the U.S. you’re highly unlikely to meet a racist. You can probably squeeze all the Nazis in America into a very small football stadium (FBI estimates 6,000 nationwide). In Canada they’d likely fit into one of those stretch TTC streetcars. But sheltered Toronto boutique liberals or Hollywood toffs see racists everywhere.

It’s touching that earnest types in government think they’ll get mentally ill people to forgo purchasing a gun when they can’t even get mentally ill people to not sleep on the sidewalks. What they’ll discover is that earlier liberal policies stand in the way of their well-meaning plans.

Remember, Kavanaugh was being savaged as a sexual psychopath, a gang rapist, a binge drinker— all of which turned out to be Michael Avenatti libels or third-hand remembrances from decades past or pimped-up yellow journalism from Ronan Farrow in The New Yorker.

Sanders, meanwhile, was being quizzed on a simple policy question.

It is beyond dispute that the United States has entered DEFCON 4 insanity. The culture war over Hillary Clinton blowing the 2016 election has produced a cavalcade of nonsense unrelated to the real functioning of the most powerful nation on earth. Robert Mueller’s damp squib appearance aside, America needs an intervention.

From the moment Karl Marx penned his famous screed against capitalism in the mid 19th century to the present day, neither rain nor snow nor dark of night has prevented the opponents of market forces from their quest to rid the world of capitalism.

Joe Biden has not been listening to Elton John. Had his iTunes always included “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word” Slow Joe would have had no need to be begging forgiveness since the first Democratic debates.

It’s hard to say which demise was more predictable: Andrew Scheer fumbling away the Conservatives’ polling lead going into the fall election or CBC’s reworked The National frittering away the audience ratings left them by Peter Mansbridge.

With trans-sexual outrage now losing its sizzle for scandal, inquiring minds want to know what the frontier holds in the form of progressive media scolding. What is the next grievance group that will be cleansed by the sunlight of liberal advocacy? And how will the majority in society be made to suffer for their (alleged) treatment?

The prime minister of record forced himself before the microphones Tuesday to tell a waiting nation that he and his impeccably woke circle of savants has suddenly made the connection between completing the Trans Mountain Pipeline and Canada’s prosperity. “You now, we might put some people to work this way!”

The new HBO drama Chernobyl is a curious thing. Not for its content. The tragedy of how the nuclear reactor in the Ukrainian city blew up in April of 1986 is a harrowing documentation of the institutional corruption that allowed it. 

“I think there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.” That’s the ubiquitous Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez speaking her “truth”. This received wisdom about feelings over facts is the latest rhetorical arrow in the progressive quiver. 

This subtle invocation of the quid pro quo came to mind as the government of Justin Trudeau announced the panelists who would decide how to divvy the $660 million his government is planning to deliver to struggling media in this country. Many are likely to be direct recipients of the graft.

It is considered an anomaly. In this highly secular age, where people seem to have abandoned organized religion, an entire segment of godless society has immersed itself in a virtuous crusade to right wrongs, seek harmony and excommunicate non-believers in the pursuit of purity. 

Had Justin Trudeau turned the Liberal brand in Canada into a dead parrot? And, in doing so, has he vaulted the Green Party into a permanent fixture in the country’s politics?

Aristotle insisted that a good education was necessary for younger people, because the deliberative process can be so difficult. But what did he know? He wore a bed sheet.
