Steyn on Fire

How does he manage to be this well informed, and this well written? 

 

Those whom we erroneously call "liberal" have no stomach for the defense of liberalism...The Islamists can't win, but we can certainly lose – all by ourselves, and, as the Europeans are discovering in this first stage of their demographic death-spiral, civilisational suicide is never painless.

 

And here's his take on our new Governor General:

 

Canada's first Hong Kong-born anglophone Governor-General is to be succeeded by our first Haitian-born francophone Governor-General, but the important thing is that like her predecessor Michaelle Jean is a pillar of Trudeaupian statist "public service". In Canada, anyone can grow up to be viceroy, as long as they have a show on the CBC. If you watch Newsworld, you'll know that Mme Jean anchors the tediously PC documentary slot that follows the National on nights when they're not rerunning Antiques Roadshow. I'd have preferred one of the Antiques Roadshow guys myself.

I've been trying to think of what to say about our new head of state...just like our hold head of state?  If I was a tad more cynical I would suggest that the GG seems to be Canada's most visible affirmative action vacancy...
