There is little place in such political systems for the criticism of the system itself, that is, for putting liberalism in question." <br /><br />Alas, even a veteran journalist from <i>The Alberta Report</i> is compromised. As a Tory reactionary I see the problem as liberalism itself. Thus my lack of faith in finding any allies in the media, even among denizens outside the metropolis.<br /><br />I pray the Good Lord will forgive my cynicism, which is a form of despair. Just that the tentacles of compromise, wokeness, and desolation are to be found everywhere. <br /><br /> Thomas Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162413436187942775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977100651062963844.post-70333831795332573772019-11-17T16:11:00.967-06:002019-11-17T16:11:00.967-06:00I know, I liked LG in his Alberta Report days, but...I know, I liked LG in his Alberta Report days, but alas, he's become Sun-Media-ized.

Granted, as I have pointed out in the past, the Albertan "conservative" mindset is actually recognizable as Version 1 of the Laurentian Liberal Party mindset, i.e., that which characterized the Grits from 1867 until 1945, if not as late as 1963.Gerry T.

His column is meant to reestablish his bonafides as a qualified member of the hive mind.<br /><br />Canada's ruling class hates its own people. Once you understand that then everything else they say and do makes sense. They've drunk the American inspired leftist Koolaid and are fully woke. They've opted out of critical thinking in favour of critical theory. <br /><br />Not one of them has an original thought. Each is too stupid to realize it.
