Quote of the Day: “Attempts to equalize economic results lead to greater and more dangerous inequality in political power.” Thomas Sowell
No Editorial today. Instead, there is an op-ed from TorStar columnist Chantel Hebert. She has an interesting op-ed today, but, it’s still not an Editorial.
Interesting op-ed on the Opinion Page today from Emmanuelle B. Faubert of the Montreal Economic Institute. He talks about the Ford government’s plan to move certain surgeries to private clinics to ease the strain from hospitals. Good column because it directly refutes many of the claims that have appeared in the Opinion and Insight Pages after the Ford announcement. I noticed in the column that Faubert mentions the 206,000 patients that need surgeries, a fact that most other op-ed writers who oppose this move neglect to acknowledge.
On the Insight Page, Heather Mallick whines about New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern resigning. Mallick tells us in no uncertain terms that her quitting is: “…a terrible blow to women’s rights at a time when the backlash against feminism – no, make that against women – has been brutal and will get worse. Women should never underestimate how much they are hated. Every week, rage and violence against women has been rising like sea levels. Toxic masculinity reigns.” Yup, Arden, the far left, authoritarian PM who devastated the Kiwi economy in the last five years, sees that she is going to lose the upcoming election in 2023 and therefore quits. But, toxic masculinity reigns, according to Mallick. Hmmm… So, did toxic masculinity force Adrern to quit but also elect Giorgia Meloni in Italy??? Seriously, why does TheRecord publish such nonsense?
