Canadian elections are a battle over small differences — like, not over what limits to place on abortion, but over how best to ensure there will never be any limits
As Canada’s federal politicians head to the campaign trail, climate scientists warn we are at the precipice of global disaster. The governing Liberals echo said warnings. Yet neither they nor the Conservatives have a plan to achieve our existing emissions targets, never mind the more ambitious ones the boffins insist are necessary.
That, I’m sorry to say, seems perfectly emblematic of the campaign we’re about to endure. The planet is supposedly burning; the two major parties have very different plans to fail to address it; and all the Liberals want to do is distract you; and far too much of the country’s media is happy to oblige.
There are no defensible grounds on which to declare abortion or any other issue 'special' and wall them off from discussion Canadian elections are above all else a battle over small differences — not over what limits to place on abortion, for example, as in every other Western nation, but over how best to ensure there will never be any limits. The parties willing to at least let their MPs discuss the subject in Parliament, should it strike them to do so, thus become the extremists.
