Carney's haircut becomes issue in Canadian election

You know you’ve got a vibrant democracy when that happens! Our world has never been as awash in bullshit and flim-flam as it is today. Where oh where are the credible headlines? Where are the debates around the life-and-death issues that make this the most important election of our time? Carney’s haircut is not one of them! These are pivotal times. The values that underpin Western Civilization are under siege as never before; human rights, freedom of speech, democracy itself! Look at how our allies in Europe are backsliding. Just a few months ago VP JD went to Munich to deliver a stern rebuke on how the champions of freedom are dropping the ball on tolerating diversity of opinion. This from a country that’ll deport you if you dare criticize Israel! Speaking of our sacred Western values, they have been on full display in that tragic ruin of a democracy. Murdering 20,000 children is self-defense, you antisemite, you! Any divergence from that view makes you a Hamas supporter, and you richly deserve your fate. Meanwhile, Western Civ’s campaign to save us all from Putin seems to be on the back burner, thanks to that crazed madman Trump unleashing tariff terror on the planet. Holy moly… however did we get to a place where media in his own country declares the Leader of the Free World a crazed madman? Has Freedom fallen? Not quite yet. The Resistance Lives! Just last weekend hundreds of thousands took to the streets in what some Dem party- affiliated PR shop branded the Hands Off movement. Hands off health care! Hands off reproductive rights! Hands off foreign aid! Hands off higher education! Hands off NATO! Say what? Hands off NATO? Really? Ya, the slippery devils almost slipped that past me! In case you haven’t noticed, the US/NATO campaign to save Europe from Putin is struggling mightily. That, I believe, is the main reason we don’t talk much about it. The channel has ben changed… Tariffs tariffs tariffs! And in case that doesn’t work, Trump is already promising even tougher tariffs! The world must be brought to heel! Not sure how that’s going to impress Putin. There’s already 28,000 sanctions on Russia, which have mostly weakened EU countries while their target sports the most robust economy in Europe! It’s enough to make you wonder if Western Civ has lost its way. And in the midst of this existential global mayhem, Canadians face the most important election of our lives. Will we choose the banker’ haircut? Or will we choose PP’s semi-quiff?
