I have a hate/love/hate relationship with columnist Luisa D’Amato. Sometimes it appears that she is the only voice of reason at The Record. Other times, she is just shroom stupid – take her column on 11 September 2020 for example. Complete and total nonsense. Not a single word of common sense. But today, it appears that she is back on her meds and that’s a good thing. She predicts that: “Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School will lose its name. Just wait and see.” I love it how she gets right to the heart of the matter in her opening line: “How interesting that, when public school trustees agreed Monday to review the names of schools using an ‘anti-racist lens,’ both of the board’s Black trustees opposed the plan.” Ka-Pow!!! Great opinion piece by her. And my respect for Mike Ramsay just went up a ton when he quoted the greatest living Economist in the world – Thomas Sowell. As everyone knows, I love Sowell – having read almost of his books.
Is The Record now the official spokes-vehicle for Kitchener Centre’s MPP Laura Mae Lindo? Some Record reporter named Robert Williams (who joined The Record in March), tells us that Lindo is complaining that a Christian college is now going to be a “university” and allowed to grant degrees in Arts and Sciences. It had only been able to grant Theology degrees in the past. Gee Robert, that’s really a massive article you got there. It’s a real testament that he could turn this announcement by the Office of the Minister of Colleges and Universities into a 464 word of filler space. Geeesssshhhhh.
