In church leadership I used to say that all ministries are interim-ministries. Public leadership needs to recognize the same: It is to build on the past, prepare for the future. Anything else is bogus, possible downright evil.

The Apple series, Star City, has contraband vinyl of Burton Cummings/The Guess Who with Undun (“when she found out she couldn’t fly…”) being danced to by the spouse of a cosmonaut. Classic Canadian rock in something about Soviet/American rivalry.

The FACT that Trump’s orcs tried to slide in to the last moment of negotiations control of Canada’s cultural identity is ugly beyond words. Trump attracts ugliness of the boorish Americanism that is not characteristic of most Americans. So why oh why, do the orcs have control?
