Spot on Alex; and, I don't see the situation getting any better in the need to medium term. The myopic Carney government seems to be hell-bent on escalating the chaos.

The best Canadians can hope for is an early defeat of said government and an ensuing election of a Poilievre lead Conservative government.

Cheers.

Discussed horseshoe theory with my older son at nauseam. I hope it sticks. Both extreme sides are equally vulgar.

My head hurts after reading this Alex, but please continue to provide such compendious commentary.

Yesterday morning, while parked out front of 55 Bloor Street West, I watched a tall young black chap plug his cellphone into the power socket at the foot of a sidewalk tree. He sat down on the bench beside it, then lit up a small metal pipe and exhaled a plume of gawd-knows-what. Feeling an urge, he then wandered over to the glass walls of the LCBO and relieved himself. Folks (young and old) strolled past and a few averted their eyes. As the stream flowed down across the sidewalk towards the street, I thought how the tone of Toronto had changed during the past decade. Some of the city's new residents are demonstrating behaviour that is indeed foreign. I'm pissed off.

Alex, you do good work and we continue to support your efforts financially. You can feel the tension growing in Canada and I am afraid that the powers that be will only inflame it further. I couldn't help feeling as I read that we are essentially screaming into the void. T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men is a more appropriate to our times.

Thanks for this Alex. Beautifully said. The antisemites make our side look SO bad. It’s depressing.
