There was a point during CBC/Radio-Canada president Catherine Tait’s testimony this week, before a House of Commons committee, when you just had to wonder whether she had been coached beforehand by Claudine Gay in how to come off as hopelessly disconnected and obtuse.
Ms. Gay, you’ll remember, is the now ex-head of Harvard University, whose December testimony before a U.S. congressional committee into antisemitism on campus was a mixture of hubris and contempt for politicians she should have known better than to disrespect. Her appearance went viral and set off a chain reaction that led to her resignation a few weeks later.
