We are being given a runaround. When a party wins an election, its victory excuses every mistake or excess for years before the election. We won, didn’t we? Any new criticism is interpreted as sour grapes or denial of the result: the purest illustration of one day dominating every other. Every idea that pops into a new PM’s head is beyond reproach, because he just won an election. Later, as the next election approaches, criticism becomes a luxury the party can’t afford, because the leader must be given latitude to win the next election. Rinse and repeat.

🎶 Emerging from a delightful revisiting of The Tragically Hip. It started with this episode of the Strombo show, moved through the No Dress Rehearsal series, and ended with the Long Time Running documentary, all accompanied by their many albums. Gord Downie’s courage really is inspiring.
There’s a fair bit of overlap between No Dress Rehearsal and Long Time Running. NDR covers their entire history, while LTR focuses on their last tour. LTR also has much more content from Gord Downie. If you pick just one, I’d suggest LTR.
