Regular readers will know that I am no fan of Justin Trudeau.

In spite of that, I must say this:

Could you people GIVE US  BREAK, you people being the indigenous activists and Globe and Mail editors?

This is such a NON-EVENT that it is painful to see the above two groups stretching and contorting in their acrobatics to pretend it is an event worthy of front-page news coverage.

This is a NOTHING story. It is far less newsworthy than, say, an abandoned kitten found on a school yard or a neighbourhood bank branch with staff deemed impolite by customers.

For crying out loud, this REALLY does not bode well for the state of activism and reporting in Canada. With all this ink, energy and hand-wringing over a harmless half-sentence from Trudeau, you really have to question the use of energy and focus. 

Gee, do ya think maybe sky-high rates of suicide, glue-sniffing, homicide, alcoholism, unemployment and drug-misuse just MIGHT maybe be more important targets for the activists to take on?
