Fred On Something'sComments

In answer to:

Thanks for your comments, Fred, and especially for the follow-up on Andrew Coyne. He has indeed suspended his blog’s comments function. Evidently he found his readers’ behaviour as tiresome as I did.

I can’t resist commenting, however, on something else Coyne has just published:

“A Liberal less than a week, la Stronach already has the ly - er, lingo down pat. Ms Stronach pronounces herself hurt by the reaction to her last-minute conversion to the Liberal cabinet/cause, and touches all the right bases: new low, return to civility, why the focus on her private life, etc. As her old friend and mentor Brian told her, ya dance with the one that bought ya.”

The Brian in question is the former Tory prime minister, Brian Mulroney, who achieved for his party both its greatest majority and its near-total destruction. And what I hope he told Belinda Stronach was: “Ya dance with the one that bRought ya.” Quite a Freudian slip!

Canadian politic is becoming a national sport. All the things that happened 25 years ago come back in unexpected places like the commission gommery…

The most beautiful paradox in the Canadian history is that the vote for the separation of the Quebec the 20 may 1980 give the repatriation of the Canadian constitution some years later. Is that not so beautiful?

Now, the program that helped the vote of the “Non”, is separating the Canada one more time.

Canadian politic is a pearl of our beautiful country
