Politics should be boring, if you think about it. Same for politicians. Sewer infrastructure, road construction, keeping the lights on, making sure people are safe and healthy, planning, compliance with laws, development, budgets … all of that stuff should be boring. Same for the people who oversee all of that, whether they’re elected or non-elected. To be clear, boring should be seen as a good thing. Boring doesn’t mean unimportant.

I’m back, with two questions connected to each other. Why is there such a lack of critical thinking with Canadians (and Canadian media)? And why are Canadians (and Canadian media) so fixated on the ramblings of a (potentially) senile old American politician? Let’s talk tariffs, for starters, and Donald Trump’s threat to impose them on some Canadian products. Give him credit. Trump has succeeded in getting Canadian politicians to break the cardinal rule of business: Never negotiate against yourself.

By Steve Buist Canada is one of the best countries in the world. Don't take my word for it. There are any number of indicators you can search that will tell you so, from economics to corruption to living standards. For example, Canada ranks second behind Switzerland in the U.S. News and World Report's list of the world's best countries. Steve Buist is a retired Spectator investigative reporter and feature writer.

I’m back, with more questions. These ones are for the anti-vax, anti-science, climate change-denying, conspiracy theorist morons out there. Already a Subscriber? Sign in Sorry, is my language indelicate? Too bad. It’s time the sane, rational people of the world start fighting fire with fire with these idiots. Measles outbreaks? A resurgence of whooping cough? In 2024? Congratulations, you’re the cause of that. For what? So you can take us back to a simpler time? The good old days?
