VIRTUE SIGNALLERS MISREAD THE REAL CRISIS

  One of the most infuriating blunders of Canada’s political class in the ongoing pandemic was obsessing about alleged massive societal racism against Canadians of Chinese origin, when the real crisis was the looming carnage of COVID-19.
   Politicians and public health officials overestimated the threat posed by racism, while underestimating the threat posed by the coronavirus, in particular the threat to the elderly in long-term care homes.
   The problem with our politicians is that they’re so obsessed with seeing racism everywhere that, like someone who only has a hammer, they treat every issue like a nail.
