We cats have enough on our plates without adding Canada's federal election to the list: the California recall tomorrow, Republican perfidy, George W. Bush suddenly seeming sensitive and reasonable. But goodness gracious, it seems like every time we check in on the news from the north, all we see are people behaving badly.
They're throwing gravel at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a campaign stop. Defacing Liberal yard signs. Staging silly rallies with vulgar banners (yes, because their vocabulary is limited, they include the F word). Worst of all, they're demonstrating against COVID vaccines outside hospitals, and harassing healthcare providers as they arrive for work. And you guessed it: They're mostly white males.
There's absolutely no way that these idiots represent the majority of Canadians. It's just that, like MAGAts in the United States, the noise they make is disproportionate to their numbers. And it doesn't help that the lazy media love to cover their antics.
As one very smart Montreal columnist has speculated: "I suspect that at least half the males who hate Justin Trudeau do so because he's all the things they are not: handsome, smart, capable, rational." Amen to that. Although we're still hoping that no matter what happens September 20, Justin's beard comes back. That would make us PURR.
