FATAH: Could the NDP succeed where the Conservatives have failed?
Is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau living the last of his seven lives? He can wear ‘Blackface’ and get away scot-free; declare his admiration for China’s dictatorship and get re-elected; and embarrass himself on the India file and get away with it all.

FATAH: The pandemic reveals how China is now the imperialist threat
As Canadians squeal on their neighbours and then squabble amongst themselves over which politician to malign for the crime of travelling overseas, Britain balances life on the edge of its worst-ever recession in 300 years and cities in the U.S. instruct ambulances not to bring the sick to hospitals, I can imagine President Xi Jinping of China sitting back having a hearty laugh with his comrades on how he destroyed the West without firing a gun.
