<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Well, I have to admit it. I got beaten up pretty badly last week for saying a few nice things about Ontario Premier Doug Ford. To a degree, I expected that. There are always two sides to every story and when you go against the grain of mass media coverage, when you express the minority view, you are bound to get a negative reaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s okay, but what struck me was the vitriol that accompanied many of the comments, some a personal attack on the author, for daring to defend Ford, others that were so antagonistic they could not be posted. One good friend of mine wrote to me privately, \u201cYou certainly have a masochistic streak Mr. Mackenzie. I just read your blog on Ford and the deluge of attacks that you expected.\u201d My friend is right. I did expect the pushback, but I didn\u2019t expect the raw anger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever happened to that old maxim that one can disagree without being disagreeable? Speaking frankly, I fear it is toast and that is not only a shame, but it is also worrisome because the world, certainly our part of it, is changing. Anger, in my view, is a weapon that transcends respectful dialogue, prohibits reasonable compromise, and promotes support for my way or the highway type of politics, regardless of the facts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was spawned I believe, in the United States, where anger appears to have become the weapon of choice. Everything seems upside down.  The rule of law is mocked in favour of a cult-like approach to change. The truth doesn\u2019t matter, facts don\u2019t matter, morality doesn\u2019t matter. The only thing that matters is that you get your way and damn the torpedoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week Donald Trump was indicted for the fourth time. Some would think that would be enough to do him in, but the opposite appears to be true. His mug shot has become viral. Donald Trump didn\u2019t want to avoid it, he coveted it. It was Trump at his marketing best, defiant, determined, and unrepentant. He has stoked more anger in his base, the cult he has created is stronger and he has raised millions upon millions of more dollars. He knew precisely what he was doing and what he wanted to accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interest of full disclosure, I should say here that I knew Donald Trump. My former firm and I worked with him for the best part of a year on a project that was dear to him. I have been at his headquarters in New York, and I have been on his plane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw both sides of Trump\u2019s personality and generally got along with him. Mostly though, I saw his determination to win at all costs, sometimes having the opposite effect, and his ruthless reaction when things did not go his way. He was never wrong. It was never his fault. The Trump brand was sacrosanct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is that brand and that determination that led Donald Trump to seek the Presidency of the United States and it is that brand that will ensure he will never give up no matter the cost. Stoking anger and discontent are his weapons of choice, and he knows how to use them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump uses those weapons, along with his personal skill of manipulation and false information, to rally the discontented. He has effectively created a cult in the United States, anchored in anger and hate, that follows him blindly and unconditionally. He has done this so effectively, and aided by what many believe to be poor performance results by Joe Biden, that he may well be the next President of the United States. If that happens, it will prove that stoking anger works, but it is a chilling thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Kasich, a former State Governor and a former Republican presidential candidate, put his finger on the problem when he said, “Just because I have opposed Trump from the beginning and want justice and accountability for his actions, doesn\u2019t mean I hate him. We need a revival to pull Americans out of their silo and quell the anger that is turning into hatred for those we disagree with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Kasich may be correct about that, but any reading of current polls would suggest the odds are against him. Anger and hatred appear to be winning the day in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, there are frightening signs that things could go in the opposite direction with airheads like Marjorie Taylor, Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin almost promoting insurrection. Palin, a former Governor and also a vice presidential nominee, recently pushed the idea of a Civil War by encouraging Trump supporters to, \u201cget angry, rise up, and take our country back.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, the question must be asked, are anger and hatred also winning the day in Canada? I would say not yet. But is there a spillover of that creeping into our society from our neighbour to the south? To that, I would say yes. You see it at all three levels of government and yes, you see it in Muskoka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, in Canada these days, I note that the tone of our dialogue is sharper, the adamance in many of our positions is stronger and our ability to see and to listen to alternate points of view, to disagree without being disagreeable, is rapidly diminishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also note with interest that federal polling in Canada currently has the Conservatives ahead of the governing Liberals by ten points and I wonder why. I am sure that many will have an answer to that. Certainly, many Canadians believe that it is time for Justin Trudeau to exit the stage as Prime Minister. But I am not sure it is only that. An undercurrent of anger has been growing in this country for some time, during the Harper years, the Justin Trudeau years, and certainly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people have taken one hit after another. They are tired and frustrated; a perfect formula for anger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my view, all three political parties at the federal level, the Liberals, the Conservatives, and the New Democrats exacerbate this by promoting anger as a political tool. Too many Canadians are starving for hope and for a bright light at the end of the tunnel.\u00a0 Why can\u2019t we give them one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer to me is not extremism on either the left or the right, but rather a middle ground, a place where for decades, both Liberals and Conservatives, albeit, with different points of view, have felt at home. A place where balance can be seen, progress made, and hope attained without anger or hatred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fairy tale ending? Perhaps. But certainly, worth fighting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
