Happy New Year readers! Sorry for the somewhat grim list of stories below, but I think they are really interesting, especially the one on North Carolina.
Patrick
Brown, leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, has stepped in it early
in 2017.
The
federal government has been accused of inadequately providing for indigenous children.
Lisa
Raitt (CPC - Milton, ON), Conservative leadership candidate, has gone hard
against Kellie Leitch and Kevin O'Leary's borrowed tactics. Let's hope it goes better than it did for Jeb Bush.
From
the Economist, Matt Steinglass predicts that Europe will slip deeper into the
control of right-wing populists in 2017.
This
headline was a real shocker "North Carolina is no longer considered a democracy".
Jane
Jacobs may have predicted the rise of Trumpian politics with a focus on
nationalism and xenophobia.
The
Washington Post reports that Poland, like far too many countries, is falling to
illiberal democracy.
Thomas
Walkom writes about the neo-liberalism of Justin Trudeau, or as many New
Democrats would put it, 'Liberal, Tory, same old story.'
