Fortunately not all of our political leaders are stupid but here are two.
Pouting Vladimir Putin, still sucking his finger, continues his rampage against Ukraine. He uses prison inmates, mercenaries and conscripts in the war against his neighbour. Facing a continued shortfall in troops, he is now recruiting Ukrainian prisoners of war to help carry on his ill-fated invasion. Such behaviour offends decency as well as the Geneva Conventions, two things knowledge of with he appears devoid.
Political silliness also comes in a domestic package. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has agreed to join discredited American political commentator Tucker Carlson. In January, she will appear on stage with him in front of an audience who will pay from $224 to $442 to witness the mischief those two will generate. It would be offensive, I hope illegal, should Smith profit financially from this event.
Carlton is of the mentality of people who believe Donald Trump won the last U.S. election. He would also like to see American troops invade Canada to free us from Justine Trudeau. That man has earned millions by spouting similar nonsense in his country. It does make us question the mental reserves of some people.
Smith is of that mentality that claims, against all evidence to the contrary, that Alberta is being short-changed by the Canada Pension Plan. Fortunately, polls show that a majority of Albertans disagree with her.
