Terry Glavin Carves Saddam's New Roomie in Hell

I'll say this, it isn't often you see a turkey and a budgie get along so well. Anyway ...

"... He leaves behind a broken and corrupted judiciary, the upper echelons of the country’s armed forces infested with drug lords, millions of Venezuelans living in fear of the knock on the door in the night, a currency worth only a fifth of what it was a decade ago, food shortages, crumbling roads, collapsing bridges, crippling inflation, ballooning deficits, a rigged currency, an epidemic of street crime, and rolling electricity blackouts. ...
 ... But he did cut quite a dash in that red uniform, didn’t he? ...
... an investigation by Reporters Without Borders found that his regime was “gradually eliminating all forms of checks and balances and democratic opposition, especially the press,”..."
That last bit sure sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Do read it all.

Terry Glavin Blows Up Trudeau the Younger

My favorite lefty (see blogroll) on the prize specimen above:

...someone it would not be entirely wrong to call a largely talentless and insufferably foppish celebrity drama queen. 
... merely a strangely pretty 41-year-old former snowboarding instructor who would be wholly unknown to all of us if he weren’t the son of a famously glamorous Canadian prime minister.
... a guy who was boasting, as recently as 2001: “I don’t read newspapers. I don’t watch the news. I figure, if something happens, someone will tell me.” ...

And Terry's just getting warmed up there. See, this is what you get when someone who's really smart takes a scalpel to someone who isn't.

Do read it all.

UPDATE! Step by step, inexorably, Trudeau 2.0 is advancing towards his destiny as PM du Canerduh.  

Just like Daddy.

Pass the sick bag, Ethel. And remember, you read it here first.

In Memory of Charles Lillard

February 26, 1944 - March 27, 1997

Another BC national treasure, Terry Glavin (my favorite leftie) suggests honoring Lillard with the words of an old Chinook song:

Elip naika nanitch
Sitka, maika illahie.
Cultus spose naika memaloost
yukwa elip.

I have seen
Sitka, your country.
Nevermind if I die
here now.
