This from the Globe, a paper that backed Stephen Harper - four times.

Trump is a symptom of a much large problem.

Trump's road to power was paved by thirty years of deliberate polarisation of the electorate, and the steady, deliberate undermining or respect for, and understanding of, democratic institutions by the Republican Party, (and their Canadian imitation).

For half a century we have failed to teach history and civics, and so failed to protect our democratic institutions.

The Globe has led the fight to prevent the abolition of our ridiculously vulnerable First-Past-the-Post farce of an electoral system.

If the Globe were truly penitent, as it should be, it would now be campaigning night-and-day without surcease for the immediate abolition of FPP.  It is, by far, the most urgently needed step to protect democracy in this country.

The second most urgent step is the re-introduction of pro-active door-to-door household enumeration.

Not holding my breathe.
