OTTAWA—Wasteful. Weird. Wacko. Woke.
It may seem strange how four letters strung together, nestled among a series of alliterative buzzwords, bearing a modern definition so amorphous so as to be nearly meaningless, can evoke such clear feelings of something bad, of something reaching into places it shouldn’t.
But the word, lifted from the oeuvres of Black political activists, singers and writers, has became one of the terms Pierre Poilievre has relied on most to discredit his political rivals in his relentless bid to end almost a decade of Liberal rule.
The Star is delusional.
Society weaponized woke against the leftist loons who used it to cancel anyone or any idea they disagreed with.
Woke was always about control and turnabout is fair play.
