This is the woman, by the way, who Donald Trump called a “pig.” Just in case you’re wondering if he is insane. Which, evidently, you should.

See, progressive friends? Decent conservatives do exist. (And watch Hillary continue to reach out to them in the weeks to come.)
I met him. I did, and I was better for it. More than 20 years ago, in Jerusalem. The next day, we Canadians were supposed to meet with the Palestinian leadership at Orient House. The Canadian Embassy was pushing us to do it, but we were a bit nervous.
Peres – sitting in his dimly-lit, main floor office, reminding me of a Colonel Kurtz in Heart of Darkness – looked at us, unblinking.
“You must go,” he said.
The cabinet minister I was with asked why. We were anxious about the controversy the visit may cause, he said.
“You must go,” Peres said. “They will never stop trying to kill us if they are hungry or lack shelter. We need them to succeed.”
I never forgot that – and it actually shaped my view of politics, in two ways. One, per Rabin, who do you make peace with but an enemy? So, in recent years, I have endeavoured to make peace with all my enemies. (Some I’ve tried to make peace with, but they rebuffed me. Their loss. I will tell them what I had to say at their grave site.)
Two, if people are desperate, and poor, and feel that they are despised, they will usually turn to violence to express their frustration and anger. Ipso facto, ISIS, et al.
What a giant of a man. We are all diminished by this loss, whether we presently know it now or not.

Now this is a political spot. Wow. Feels like Daisy.
Really high.
I was back and forth, this morning, with a friend who is very senior Clinton guy – he’s one of the ones who goes on TV for her – and I told him that basically “everyone up here in the Great White North is crapping themselves,” but that we hope tonight goes well.
“From your lips to God’s ear,” he said.
Actually, it’s from her lips to the ears of undecided American voters. She needs to remind them that, if this psychopath is elected, really bad things that will happen. Here’s the top ten.
The fact that Donald Trump is even with Hillary Clinton in numerous polls is an unmitigated disaster – and the most significant threat to all of us now. Nothing matters, politically, as much.
She must beat him tonight, and in the days ahead. And all of us who believe in freedom and decency and security need to help her – this is not the year to have a protest vote, America.
So, me and the missus are heading to Hillary’s NYC headquarters this weekend to help out for a week, in any way we can.
We can’t stand by and let this happen. We can’t.
You can’t, either.
…but he’s kind of totally full of crap. Just saw a lonely copy of his new book in Indigo. I won’t bore you with all the details – it’s long ago, life goes on, etc. – but his book contains some unmitigated bullshit. Including, inter alia, that he and the Chow campaign decided to mutually “part ways” with me.
Um, no. I parted ways with them.
When Olivia Chow lied, and told a disbelieving Toronto media she didn’t really know me, that I was just one of “thousands of volunteers,” blah blah blah, I decided to quit. But Laschinger repeatedly refused to accept my resignation from Chow’s campaign, by email, text and voicemail. Below is part of just one email exchange in which (a) I tell him I’m quitting and (b) he implores me not to. Not at all the impression he tries to give his readers in his little book, that’s for sure.
Anyway. Whatever. My opinion came to be that Chow was a lousy candidate, and that a really lousy job was done running her campaign. But the fact is that we didn’t “part ways.”
I quit.
