(Need I say she was a devoted Leafs fan.)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been a political junkie all my life and it\u2019s impossible for me to take my eye off the game.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to love about this crazy, hard-to-govern country and lately there are so many days when I don\u2019t know whether to laugh or cry.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Right now, we are without a Governor General because the most recent holder of the title picked up her medals and went home in the wake of accusations that she learned her administrative skills from a training handbook written by Nurse Ratched.<\/p>\n<p>We are also without a chief of our national defence staff because the most recent title holder &#8220;stepped aside&#8221; while being investigated for inappropriate behaviour. He was just nicely getting the top soldier\u2019s seat warm after replacing another highly decorated military leader who is also being investigated for alleged related activities.<\/p>\n<p>I have lost track of how many politicians and healthcare officials have either resigned or been publicly shamed for being caught escaping the Great White North for warmer climes despite pandemic warnings against international travel.<\/p>\n<p>Ontario\u2019s finance minister was probably the biggest fish to get caught and lose his job. Rumours that some news outlets had posted spies at airports to catch other high-profile offenders probably caused many to cancel their reservations and stay home.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO of the fund that manages Canada\u2019s Pension Plan resigned after a personal trip to Dubai. To add insult to injury, he got a virus vaccination while he was there.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, we\u2019ll also be in the market for a new member of the Supreme Court to replace a current member reaching the mandatory retirement age in July. Another big decision facing Prime Minister Trudeau.<br \/>\nThe federal job openings are under a microscope because of public criticism of some of Trudeau\u2019s recent appointments and his vetting process for candidates. Maybe the Prime Minister\u2019s office should just hang out a sign reading &#8216;Help Wanted: Flawless People Only&#8217; and be done with it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of our PM, it\u2019s interesting that we can\u2019t even get his house renovated. The Trudeaus are holed up down the street at a house called Rideau Cottage. The official residence at 24 Sussex Drive needs renos estimated at upwards of $100 million. The Trudeau Liberals, like their predecessors, are too smart to be seen spending that kind of money and so the remnant will remain unloved and unoccupied until it either falls down and is replaced or a private benefactor comes along.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the Americans watching the White House slowly but surely deteriorate and having to redeploy the First Family elsewhere. Only in Canada you say. Pity.<\/p>\n<p>At one time we had a pretty good reputation internationally. A former Prime Minister, Lester Pearson, won a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Today, we\u2019re better known as apologists than peacekeepers.<\/p>\n<p>Our pandemic response has gone from the ridiculous to the really ridiculous. At one point we looked pretty good and laughed at the rednecks and deniers to the south. We\u2019re not laughing now as Americans are vaccinated by the millions and our peasants and politicians alike just pray for miracles to receive the imported vaccine and get it into the arms of long-suffering Canadians.<\/p>\n<p>And pipelines? Forget about it.<\/p>\n<p>There are foibles that truly cross the line.<\/p>\n<p>It was certainly a sad moment when our Members of Parliament voted to officially label the Chinese government\u2019s treatment of the Uyghur people a genocide. What they are doing to their Muslim minority is well documented. The Nazis made films about their atrocities; the Chinese government tries unsuccessfully to hide theirs.<\/p>\n<p>What does this vote in the House of Commons mean to the average Canadian? Probably little. The story was quickly lost in the pandemic fog. But it means a lot to me and it means a lot to how the world sees us as a people.<\/p>\n<p>We have skin in this game that goes far beyond trade deals and corporate profit. Our MPs\u2019 vote took place on the 806th day of the abduction and imprisonment in Beijing of two Canadians in retaliation of Canada\u2019s retention of an influential Chinese business leader arrested here on a U.S. warrant on serious criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p>Playing nice with the Chinese Communist government has done little or nothing to help bring these poor souls home.<\/p>\n<p>The vote to declare a genocide didn\u2019t require any action on behalf of our government. It was merely a statement of principle and an act of courage to stand up for human rights and denounce a sadistic, predatory bully on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>When it came time to vote, the Prime Minister and his cabinet were no-shows. The sacrificial lamb was cabinet minister Marc Garneau, a Canadian icon and highly respected minister, who sheepishly announced that he and his cabinet colleagues chose to abstain.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, someone too cute by half thought this a clever strategy. Let their Liberal MPs vote\u2014but leave the PM and cabinet sitting on their pristine hands and spouting diplomatic niceties so as to not offend the Chinese Communists. (The Chinese government, by the way, is the same outfit that last year pulled out of a deal to supply us with vaccine and left Canada scrambling to find other suppliers.)<\/p>\n<p>What a shame it was to watch those with the real power in our federal government\u2014with Chamberlain flourish\u2014refuse to show the guts to say the world has promised Never Again and by God we in Canada are serious.<\/p>\n<p>There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. Watching the main feature that played out in Canada\u2019s House of Commons on February 22 was a time to cry.<br \/>\nPeace in our time. Quiet diplomacy. We\u2019ve seen this bad movie before.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"il\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-90772\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Sally-Barnes.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Sally-Barnes-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Sally-Barnes.jpg 200w\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"301\" \/>Sally<\/span> Barnes has enjoyed a distinguished career as a writer, journalist and author.
