Modeling Journey

In an interesting article in today's Globe & Mail, Martin gives us a very pithy, very apt, and very useable definition of the politics practised by our current prime minister: brutish.

"In Jean Chrétien, he was marketing a populist; in Michael Ignatieff, someone who was to the manor born and who must stake out that higher ground as opposed to being dragged into the pit of tactical games and brute politics that Stephen Harper relishes."

Let us all hope that Harper's style of politicking leads to his foray into the prime minister's office as being one that is nasty, brutish and short.

Especially short.
