In Praise of Canada - and Justin Trudeau
This must seem odd coming from me but it would be unfair of me not to mention Nicholas Kristof's op-ed in today's New York Times, "Thank God for Canada."
The veteran NYT columnist even calls Canada today's "moral leader of the free world." I guess, coming from Trumpland, Canada looks amazing.

I'd like to add this....Daniel Dale believes fact-checking Donald Trump has pushed him to rethink the relationship a journalist has with the truth. He is the Bureau Chief for the Toronto Star in Washington. He fact checks every day every thing Donald Trump says. He also fashions a good opinion regarding Canada....Anyong
This from an aging, out-of-touch douchebag columnist whose publication's "reporters" couldn't be bothered during the 2016 campaign to actually go out and see what was happening in the U.S. to people outside Manhattan. I wouldn't take his praise too seriously.
By "moral" they mean free-trade globalist. Clearly, there's nothing more "moral" in the history of humanity than free-trade globalization! (It even brought back slavery!)
By "moral leader of the free world" they mean the only one who's left. HRC has bitten the dust. Angela Merkel has bitten the dust. Emmanuel Macron is biting the dust! (What's a neoliberal to do!)
Anyong, I'm not getting your point. What on Earth does Dale have to do with Kristof?
KK, given the brevity of this post I have trouble understanding why you think I'm taking Kristof's praise particularly seriously.
Anon, did you even read Kristof's piece. What he referenced as "moral" had nothing to do with your take. Nothing, sorry.
