We just lost all respect for Oxford University, who have invited Justin Trudeau to join their World Leaders Circle and talk to students about the future of global governance. What’s he going to teach them, how to wreck a country in a few years and then take up with a has-been pop singer? Oxford, hang your head in shame!

SUCH A DISTINGUISHED FELLOW

Justin Trudeau is now a distinguished fellow at Oxford to become a member of the World Leaders Circle, a rare and prestigious award. And no, Stephen Harper is not a member. There are many, especially in Western Canada, who blame Mr. Trudeau on the lost decade, 10 years including the first term of Donald Trump, the COVID global pandemic, the years punctuated with global demands to reduce fossil fuels due to climate change, and global social/technological upheaval. Take a bow, Mr. Trudeau.

(OK.)

PARTY SHOULD PAY

It seems to me that rather than trying to ban floor-crossing, or cutting exorbitant pensions for MPs in the House of Commons, party representatives should be made to pay the full cost of the byelections created by their traitorous departure out of pocket, as well as full scrutiny into possible enticements. Maybe a significant monetary penalty would make them think twice before committing to their constituents.
