In today’s letters to the editor: Donald Trump; carbon pricing; Wab Kinew and criminal lawyers; the justice system; productivity and the middle class
Instead of naive and disingenuous attempts to alternately “sanewash,” normalize or deplatform him, all of which also serve an outlet’s own healthy levels of readers, subscribers or clicks, the media should quote him verbatim on every single issue and incoherent commentary.
One might add that the continual bombardment of apocalyptic climate-change predictions leaves one feeling that the rebate is like taking a water pistol to a forest fire. No bright light is delivering the message that we need to add up all the water pistols. But then, no one has ever figured out if the water pistols were filled in the first place.: I applaud columnist Robyn Urback for her defence of those of us who devote our lives to keeping the criminal justice system honest.
We shouldn’t be pilloried for doing our essential job. But it is not for those whom we “choose to defend” – our clients choose us, not the other way around. A criminal lawyer is an essential part of our judicial system, and should never be subject to guilt by association nor excluded from a political party on that basis. This simplistic prejudice did not used to be a feature of Canadian politics.
Yet middle-class income growth is stagnant. The author’s culprit? The failure to promote “innovation and engagement in new knowledge.” Really? As a consequence, the environment in Canada does not exist for the level of risk-taking needed to produce gains in productivity. I am astounded, then, that proposed solutions for Canada’s lagging productivity include more government.
