RE: Feds getting it right on gun control. Spectator editorial 2 June 22.
Trudeau is cynically taking advantage of public outrage of a shooting in the United States to push gun control in Canada. “To which we say, so what?”
What clearer expression of the progressive creed could there be? "What lie would you not tell, what crime would you not commit if you thought you were bringing about Utopia on earth?" Acting cynically and unethically is fine if it advances the right political agenda. That’s the Spectator’s clear editorial position.
But, having given up the pretense of defending a moral high ground, on what basis can the Spectator condemn racism, sexism, Islamophobia, Transphobia, white supremacism, the “genocide” of aboriginal school children, and politicians long dead for their policies and actions in office? They have none. It’s all a pretense. Fake. Dishonest political calculus.in advancement of a morally ambiguous progressive agenda.
It’s now clear that moral outrage expressed
in the Spectator is to be discounted as cynical political calculus.
