What Is It With Globe and Mail Op-Ed Writers...

and their bizarre bloodlust?  Last year we had the sad spectacle of Canada's Worst Newspaper publishing Scott Reid's paean to the murdering of Stephen Harper.  Today, we've got Rick Salutin writing this (emphasis, bizarrely, in original):

No matter how often the economy crashes and shatters, [bankers] have no fear of being tried and executed for "economic crimes" - a rare feature of Soviet communism that one can actually feel nostalgic for.

Ah.  Thirty-three million Canadians, and this babbling old fool is the one Eddie Greenspon feels the need to give a column to.

The alternative was another Margaret Wente column about how badly we are raising our children. ;)

Not to mention the little kids getting shot for the crime of getting sick (ca. 1936). Yes, those were the days. I get positively misty-eyed when I think of them.

[Comrade Gordon]

I get misty eyed too, comrade Whyte, but when I think of the "New Eugenicists", those good centrists and leftists who became visibly agitated at the idea that Sarah Palin and others would dare raise an imperfect child rather than abort the little monster, it strengthens my resolve for the cause.
