R ichard lives in a pup tent in downtown Ottawa, next to the Bank of Canada and about a block from the temporary home of the House of Commons. He’s a thin, tough man in his sixties. Or he could be in his fifties. When you’ve worked outside for years as a roofer and then end up on the street, your face has seen a lot of sun.

He kept coming back like herpes, anytime he could: Home Alone 2, Saturday Night Live, The Apprentice.

Brooks sees America’s public sphere as a place inhabited by “rippers” and “weavers”. Under the headline “How the Trump Ploy Stopped working,” Brooks said Donald Trump and his ilk are rippers. They see everything through the prism of politics. Rippers, whether on the left or right, see politics as a war that gives their lives meaning.

Conservative Leader called a last second press conference outside the West Block this morning, where it has just started raining a bit, to call on the Liberals to table a budget this year. He’s again inviting Carney to steal his ideas, and put this in a budget #cdnpoli https://t.co/TIscIiXIii
