Please, God, no Nobel for PMMC. I would very much prefer not to see Ottawa nuked out of juvenile spite.

The reckoning to come certainly has to do with what to do with the perpetrators of outrageous crimes, but also with the reality that none of it can be dismissed as anomaly. No one dare say, “Let’s just move on.”

In church leadership I used to say that all ministries are interim-ministries. Public leadership needs to recognize the same: It is to build on the past, prepare for the future. Anything else is bogus, possible downright evil.

I remember the height of the Cold War, when people would ask, “It’s bad enough now, what if there were to be an American president who turned out to be insane?” Answer was typically, “Don’t worry, it won’t happen, and there are safeguards.”

The FACT that Trump’s orcs tried to slide in to the last moment of negotiations control of Canada’s cultural identity is ugly beyond words. Trump attracts ugliness of the boorish Americanism that is not characteristic of most Americans. So why oh why, do the orcs have control?
