Quote of the Day: “Tyranny is the exercise of some power over a man, which is not warranted by law, or necessary for the public safety.” Noah Webster (as Waterloo Region heads into the “red” zone…)
Craig Wallace from Hamilton is a science fiction writer and I guess that gives him all the necessary credentials to write op-eds for TheRecord. He looks at the recent U.S. election and decided that “…it is very clear the United States is a deeply divided nation” and that he is very happy that he lives in Canada and not in the U.S. He suggests that: “…we cannot afford to simply assume that our nation doesn’t have some potentially dangerous divisions that could threaten our unity. Just because we have not yet seen mass protests such as the ones in cities such as Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis, does not mean we don’t have some major divisions in our own nation that need to be attended to.” He calls them “protests”. Yup – at least 19 deaths – including David Dorn who was assassinated by Antifa, Billions in losses – much of it by minority owned businesses, whole blocks in Portland devastated and now abandoned, and Wallace calls them “protests”. He then goes on to speak (or is that praise) the illegal sabotage of railway tracks and roads by First Nations criminals. His solution – have a constitution convention and give them more rights than they already have. Yup – that’s bound to work – just like giving them tons of money and tax free privileges has worked so well in the past. Pathetic.
