It has been a busy year for progressives. At the start of the year, Justin Trudeau was lecturing people on standing up for gender equality; by mid-year he was kneeling in solidarity with BLM. Now, as the year draws to a close, he is telling everyone to rise back up to confront the existential global warming crisis. Throughout the standing, kneeling, and rising the federal government nearly doubled its spending to pay for mandated economic shutdowns and to “reset” the country in a more feminist, intersectional, and climate-friendly direction. It is unclear what kind of calisthenics Mr. Trudeau has planned for us next year.
