Watching Canadian “leaders” commit blunder after blunder reminds me of an old jibe about Philip II of Spain that, “No experience of the failure of his policy could shake his belief in its essential excellence.” And of what Marie Antoinette famously did not say about brioches, because it’s less about policies than a sublime sense of personal excellence. Hence our high-flying Governor General just racked up $71,000 in limousine services alone during her four-day trip to Iceland last October. Where do they get this sense of entitlement, and how can we make it stop?
