Well done Alex, for laying out the challenges currently facing Canadians. Challenges that have been created from within. If only this was mandatory reading for all students in primary and secondary schools across this country - and their parents.

I'm not sure what's more terrifying, the ever-expanding list of banned books, or making yours truly required reading, but I do appreciate it, Ted!

Am waiting to see the list of burned books. In the meantime, keep up your good work.

Wonderful work.. Alex. I've struggled to define my space in this social demolition derby. This piece crystallized the elements fro me. Thanks.

I can now see that I’m not alone in this liberal vortex .

"Controlled demolition" indeed. That explains it, but to what end? I am perplexed.

Has always struck me as an effort to tilt the system in the favour of permanent power -- particularly when you look at the subsidies-for-fealty model -- while riding a demographic wave you have some control over. But even the worst case scenarios didn't have Trudeau polling at 28%, and moderates throwing up their hands in disgust.
