Next time someone refers to a student debate in derogatory fashion, send them this. Several leagues above the dross that passes for oratory in the Canadian House of Commons.

“What I decry is the lack of uniters in this country. Ask yourself as Canadians - what are the ideals that bind us together? Our greatest threat today is the tenor and tone of our divisive politics.” Former BC premier Christy Clark Canadian Club Toronto on the state of the nation.

Terrifying this can even be proposed by elected officials. Think about it alongside the Georgia police killing of a climate activist, the Ohio train poisoning, and approval of the Willow oil project in Alaska while the planet burns. The US is now in a full-blown dystopia.

Mike Pence is empty. When faced with a choice of putting country over party, he will choose party. Keep him where he belongs in history - as a VP to a dark and divisive administration.
