But now we’re getting politicians jumping on a racism bandwagon. At a news conference last week, a gaggle of Toronto councillors and Mayor John Tory denounced racism they perceive happening as a result of the coronavirus.
Asked quite reasonably by the Toronto Sun’s Joe Warmington if there’d been any incidents of racism so far, the politicians couldn’t come up with anything specific. They muttered that business was down in Chinatown, but in a later TV interview I saw one merchant there say it’s too early to tell if people are staying away.
More recently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave us another virtue-signalling lecture on coronavirus racism.
