Pandemics aren’t a ton of fun. The current one has caused economic chaos, political instability and no shortage of anxiety, planet-wide. For musicians and for those who promote live music, however, it’s been really, really — really — bad. For months, musicians haven’t been able to make a living playing

How can you tell that Justin Trudeau is lying to you? We know, we know: when his lips are moving. Old joke. But there’s a more recent example of Trudeaupian dishonesty — one that took place in real time, in real life. And, even coming from the sophists who make

Dear World: Justin Trudeau here. Remember me? You were in love with me once. You put me on the cover of Rolling Stone. The Washington Post once called me “the anti-Trump.” The Christian Science Monitor wondered if I was “Canada’s JFK.” USA Today wrote that I had “charm, good looks,

Jean Chretien is a winner at politics — and at putting together a cabinet, too. Consider this: During his 40-year political career, he never lost an election. With three back-to-back majorities, he is the winningest prime minister in modern times. He beat Quebec separatism, twice. He brought home the Constitution

Story here. Key bits here: “Former Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would have been “better served” if he sought guidance from his party’s elder statesmen, but that the current government has failed to reach out to him for advice. “I’m not there, but sometimes I

Hypocrite. Calling somebody a hypocrite isn’t anything new. In politics, just about anywhere, hypocrisy is the coin of the realm. Everyone in public life seems to practice it. But the regime of Justin Trudeau is a special case, isn’t it? They have taken hypocrisy to an entirely new level. They

The election is over, Thanksgiving is over. What better time, then, to give thanks about what happened, and what didn’t, in the 2021 federal general election? And, yes, sure: Justin Trudeau isn’t now in a job for which he is suited, like cleaning leaves out of gutters. He’s still prime

Sorry, but Justin Trudeau likes apologies. He does. He makes them all the time. Everyone has noticed. The BBC even published a story about The Apologist-In-Chief, asking: “Does Justin Trudeau apologise too much?” Their answer: Yes, probably. (And, yes, they spelled “apologize” in the Brit way, naturally, with an “s” and not

Always look for the silver lining, our moms told us. It’s there. In the case of the Justin Trudeau surf vacation, it’s hard to spot the silver lining. Because the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation wasn’t a good one. At all. To recap: Justin Trudeau and his office

Neither truthful nor reconciling. Justin Trudeau, that is. With Canada’s Indigenous peoples, he promised to be both. He hasn’t been either. Tomorrow, on one day of all days, the day the Trudeau government itself designated as the “National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,” it’s important. But not for the reasons Trudeau typically

Meng Wanzhou, who did wrong, goes free. The two Michaels, who didn’t, remain imprisoned. Welcome to justice in the Justin Trudeau era: the guilty win, and the innocent lose. It all happened yesterday, a Friday afternoon, which is typically when governments do the dirtiest deeds, in the hope that fewer

What happened? Erin O’Toole looked like he was doing good. Justin Trudeau looked like he was doing badly. What went wrong? Well, as a public service, Yours Screwly put together a few random, linkless thoughts. There are 10. Here they are: 1) As I opined in these pages mid-campaign, the assault
