Behind the stiff upper lip that Justin Trudeau has been keeping in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory, he and his government are no less traumatized by the result of the American election than the majority of Canadians. […]
A car tour to raise awareness about human rights issues in China arrived in Morinville Nov. 9. The tour is part of a Canada-wide campaign to raise awareness about what Falun Gong practitioners say is the crime of state-sanctioned forced organ removal from living Falun Gong prisoners of conscience in China, citizens the protestors say are murdered during the organ removal process.

A few thoughts about this mess.
First, if you think Donald Trump is an idiot, of course you’re not alone. But you’re also hardly the first.
Google the words “Barack Obama idiot,” without quotes. I got more than 800,000 results.

Donald Trump’s real accomplishment is this: He has terrified the establishment.
And maybe that’s a good thing.

Justin Trudeau named nine new senators on Thursday. It’s said he’ll name 12 more within days. Live in Ontario or Quebec? Check the mail. You may already be a winner!

As Justice Malcolm Rowe – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s first appointee to the Supreme Court – fielded a barrage of questions from MPs and senators on Tuesday, there was nothing to suggest he was not a flesh-and-blood person. […]
Justin Trudeau’s impromptu humility tour continues. In Hamilton the other day, he visited the mayor and a bystander threw pumpkin seeds at him. In Medicine Hat, he visited byelection voters and they threw a Conservative at him. In Ottawa, he spoke to young members of the Canadian Labour Congress and dozens turned their backs. […]
