TORONTO – Not all the votes have been tallied and verified, but the election is done! All candidates who participated deserve a vote of thanks for having offered to be a part of a process that, in the final analysis, is an examination of what works and an assessment of how to improve what does not. They should ‘be at the ready’ because the results suggest a return match in short order… say twelve to eighteen months.
TORONTO – A quattro mesi dalle elezioni presidenziali americane, il neoeletto Presidente è riuscito a definire… il Canada. Sì, avete letto bene. A quanto pare, i consiglieri del Primo Ministro Justin Trudeau, ansiosi di anticipare i tempi, organizzarono una cena privata con ‘The Donald’ a Mar-a-Lago, così da poter dimostrare a tutti che lui – cioè JT – era ancora “l’uomo“, nonostante sondaggi e caucus non reggessero…
TORONTO – Four months after the American Presidential election, the newly elected President has succeeded in defining …Canada. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, the “beer and popcorn” advisors to the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, anxious to get ahead of the game, “scored a private dinner with “the Donald”, in Mar-a-Lago, so he could prove to the rest of us that he – JT – was still “the man”, polls and caucus notwithstanding.
TORONTO – La tolleranza dei canadesi nei confronti dei membri della stampa e dei media che pretendono “un lasciapassare” da valutazioni responsabili quando discutono di questioni che vanno oltre l’immediata vicinanza del loro ombelico, non cessa mai di stupirmi. Paul Martin potrebbe ancora essere Primo Ministro se i suoi strateghi della campagna elettorale del 2005-06 non avessero liquidato come “birra e popcorn” le preoccupazioni dell’opposizione riguardo ai costi nell’aggiornamento del bilancio…
TORONTO – The tolerance of Canadians for members of the Press and Media who demand “a free pass” from responsible assessments when discussing issue beyond the immediate proximity of the lint in their navel never ceases to amaze me. Paul Martin might still be Prime Minister had his campaign strategists in the election of 2005-06 not dismissed Opposition concerns in respect of costs in the budget update as amounting to “beer and popcorn”.
