Article content Before we get into serious stuff here, a shout out — as the better DJs say — to the Minister of Middle Class Prosperity. For some of the Post’s readership there may need to be an introduction. The holder of this office is the Ottawa-Vanier MP, Mona Fortier. Or so we presume, since her decided absence from the headlines, and only sparse presence in the Liberal government’s daily avalanche of tweets furiously heralding wondrous accomplishments, have left her name and statu...

Article content It’s getting more than a little dated, in the Western precincts of this globe at least, to pretend it’s a milestone when a woman is presiding over some office or organization. And it was hardly scaling a new peak that in the male-feminist government of Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland was placed as deputy prime minister and offered the finance portfolio as well.

He wrote in Prufrock “there will be time/Time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.” It’s the latter part that stays so solidly in mind that of preparing “a face to meet the faces that you meet.” There in ten short and plain words is the essence of all politica...
