Are Canada’s political leaders behaving like children when they label each other as wacko or as weird? Or are such put-downs a sound, even winning strategy in politics?
Whatever the answer to those questions, I’ll suggest that the hottest political debate just now is whether “PeePee is weird” or “Trudope is wacko.” Yes, our politics has come to that. Maybe it’s just the summer silly season. And, to be clear, if you’re blaming any one political leader for starting the blaming and belittling of opponents, you might need to brush up on your world history. Demonizing the enemy is a practice as ancient as dust.
