Justin Trudeau, possibly the worst prime minister in the history of Canada, has resigned. Sort of. He has stepped down as leader of the Liberal Party and won’t run in the next election but will remain at his post until a new leader is chosen. Meantime, Parliament will be prorogued—or discontinued without being dissolved—to avoid the possibility of a successful no-confidence motion, which would surely topple the Trudeau government.

The Roman Emperor Nero is said to have “fiddled” while Rome burned. That’s not wholly true. Rome did catch fire during Nero’s reign, but there were no fiddles or bowed instruments of any kind. The original story, as reported by the historian Suetonius, is that Nero put on a stage costume, climbed to the top of a tower, and sang about the fall of Troy as Rome went up in flames beneath him. But here in Canada we don’t need Nero.

Imagine trying to have a leisurely chat with an old man who begins to hold forth about a jumble of half-understood historical anecdotes.
