Harper’s analysis thoughtful, honest

Re: Same old, same old in Harper book, Letter, Oct. 16 Actually “Right Here Right Now” is a thoughtful and honest perspective on the current political landscape unless viewed through the lens of socialists and/or central Canadian Liberal elites. Attempting to grasp the whys and wherefores of the assumptions relating to the (sad) fact of the Trump presidency should be applauded rather than simply dismissed as the result of a fool and a bigot being elected by fools and bigots. Although I expect that in some circles it is intellectually comforting to refer to nearly 50 per cent of Americans as fools and bigots.

“Hiding the intellectual poverty and self-interest on display” are very clever phrases that could so much more aptly be applied to our current PM. Think about that.
