It was the 21 seconds of silence that was heard around the world.
Part of Justin Trudeau's reply to a question about Donald Trump.
And it couldn't have been clearer or more Canadian.
In my last post I explained why the Con attack on SNC-Lavalin and its workers was going to cost them most of the few seats they have in Quebec.
And will almost certainly hand Justin Trudeau another majority.
Which needless to say would please me greatly, except for one thing. It would also doom the NDP, the party I have always voted for, to extinction in that province.
And now I have my NDP friends in Toronto, the ones who don't know Quebec, saying they don't understand how that could happen.
So this is what I tell them.
