Childish Games:

NAFTA is being negotiated like a childish game played by the Canadian delegation.

Surely Christia Freeland's unnecessarily opinionated commentary and Justin Trudeau's brave posturing are not conducive to reaching some kind of a working agreement with the Trump team.

Is Trudeau sneaky enough to think that Trump's alleged lack of popularity with the Canadian electorate can guarantee him a few more votes at election time?

Reduced Static:

When all the ballots re: Toronto City Council are counted later this fall, there will be 22 fewer chances of getting severely garbled results on any discussion when they reconvene.

Just think: 22 fewer chances of the topic under discussion being hijacked and derailed by someone probably for no better reason than to posture for constituents.

Programming Children:

Friday's news clip on CTV showing school children protesting government tinkering with their sex curriculum is really scary.

It shows, better than anything else, what the teachers are capable of doing with our children's minds even before they are biologically equipped to think about sex.

Media Bias:

Toronto media burdened with a leftward list to their political postures are trying to award Oscars to the judicial panel that absolved Premier Doug Ford from a perceived massive foul-up in decimating Toronto city council.

What actually happened, was that the tribunal saved the judicial profession in Ontario from their own foul-up, interfering in a democratic procedure that would have done very well without their attentions.

Hollywood North:

The one thing our left-leaning politicians are good at is using the newsmedia to promote their causes.

Make no mistake. That grade-school display in the Ontario legislature on Wednesday had little chance of qualifying as an intellectual pursuit. It was meant solely to make Doug Ford look like a schoolyard bully.

Unfortunately, we have come to expect nothing more substantial than that from the Andrea Horwath gang.
