Blackface?

It's not easy to understand the massive media kerfuffle over Trudeau's blackface acts. We've all done dumb things in our younger years, but something like dressing up for Hallowe'en hardly qualifies.

Yet, electronic media like CTV gave the first 15 minutes of their news to this silly incident. If this is the best they could do in picking fault with this guy's administration, it's an unsustainable stretch.

Is that what they're trying to do-- concentrate on trivia while SNC-Lavalin, multi-millionaire Omar Khadr, the Indian visit, the pipeline shut down, the China deal, the massive erosion of Canada's industrial infrastructure, etc., etc., are all allowed to fade into the background?

Is that it?. Out of sight, out of mind?

Climaphobes?

Climaphobes ought to be a good way to describe individuals who think people can cause more damage to the environment than hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and volcanoes.

While that word does not appear in my dictionaries, I used it in the Greta Thunberg post because it seemed exactly appropriate.

So if anyone wants to use it, please feel free. No charge.

Greta Thunberg;

Greta Thunberg is reported to have crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat so as to inflict no further damage to the environment. 

She's scheduled to tell the collection of climaphobes at the climate change conferences in Montreal and New York her version of what they have all gathered to promote..

While any meaningful discussion with any opinionated 16-year-old would not be especially educational, our media is not likely to view it that way at all.

When there's a shortage of shootings, killings or lethal smash-ups on the highway and it's news time, they will give her monologue whatever space they need to fill.

Let's be honest. It's relief from still more mind-numbing fillers featuring events from lunatic-fringe Islam, Gay Pride, Black Lives Matter, virulent anti-Semitism, or aboriginal demands.

Go get 'em, Greta!!.
