i am an actual, real-life leftist that is not afraid to stand up in a room of conservatives and declare myself a communist, and trust me – the media is not on my side.

i think this article is maybe circumlocuting a bit of an epiphany, in referring to the media as disconnected elites – although it is continuing to make an error in tying them to the existing spectrum. so long as we let the media do this, it can continue to divide and conquer in a weird way.

and it is a weird way. the media is it’s own party. i haven’t read the book, but “laurentian elites” is not a bad description. the truth is that they’re tories. not conservatives; tories. supporters of diefenbaker, clark and mulroney. bleeding hearts, as the elder trudeau would say. christian protectionists that enforce a noblesse oblige amongst themselves. that is at the heart of the refugee crisis: noblesse oblige. not liberalism. not socialism. toryism.

it’s a strange anachronism. there truly isn’t a party that represents the interests of the aging canadian elite. and, has there been a country in the history of capitalism where the elite is disenfranchised? hey, i’m the leftist here – i realize how little that makes sense. and, yet it is clear that this is what exists…
