Why in the world would an elected political body en masse deliberately infuriate its constituents by answering questions on national TV like the Smart Alec bullying the teacher in junior high? Issuing a page of scripted rhetoric at a time with unrelated (he will say it was) drivel about some heroics--usually the greatest in history--to avoid the answer that Canadians will not like constitutes dissing voters out of hand. As if we are not worthy of an answer, not capable of understanding, patronized with hooey in the manner that some men dis women seems to me the first step in losing an election, if enough people watched the interview. One would like to hope!
How did we get ourselves into this mess? How are we going to get ourselves out of it?
