The Leader Fetish and the 2022 Election

Perhaps there is a charismatic celebrity candidate already positioning themself to be the next OLP leader. Who knows, maybe there is a Trudeau or Trump who wants to be Premier and already has a team of sycophants, ready to go. But while that may make fundraising easier, I strongly believe it will make elections ever harder.

But what do I know.


I Believe Jody Wilson-Raybould. I Also Believe Justin Trudeau.

Our former Attorney General did a great job today. Starting by reading her written testimony for over 30 minutes (full transcript here), she stayed through 6 rounds of questions from a group of politicians, most of whom who seemed lesser when interacting with her. This was a person who was confident in her narrative and well able to address the repetitive questions she faced.


20190227 – Judy Wilson-Raybould – Justice Committee opening remarks

For a period of approximately four months, between September and December of 2018, I experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in my role as the attorney general of Canada, in an inappropriate effort to secure a deferred prosecution agreement with SNC-Lavalin.


Why So Confused About Trump and Sanders? They Make Sense.

If you are a regular watcher of cable news and reader of the major papers, by now you will know that Trump is the newest incarnation of Adolf Hitler and that Bernie Sanders is a nice old man who plans to plunge the US into debt and force every capitalist out of the country. Trump’s supporters are racist redneck hillbillies and Sanders are pie in the sky people who can’t get laid. Anyone even semi-literate can see that, to mainstream media, both of these aging men are THE WRONG CHOICE!!!!!
