Fear and loathing and sheer imbecility at the Munk leader's debate
You gotta feel Peter Munk’s pain. A couple of years ago he had the biggest gold mining company in the world. Now he’s got the “Munk Debates.”
Tonight’s iteration of that over-reaching franchise is billed as the “Munk Leader’s Debate,” and features the three old boy leaders while ignoring the new girl, Green Party leader Elizabeth May.
Near as I can tell, the only winner in this “debate” was the unctuous moderator, “social entrepreneur” and careerist extraordinaire Rudyard Griffiths. He was obviously enjoying his most recent fifteen minutes of fame.
I have a hunch that a lot of tickets for this gig were sold via the Ukrainian-Canadian Council. How else to explain the undue prominence given that tired trope, “Putin’s aggression?”
Before watching this I read the texts of both Obama’s and Putin’s speeches at the UNGA. Sure, Obama was obliged to toss in a few bromides about how it’s unacceptable for big countries to run roughshod over small ones, but absolutely no one in the place takes that seriously.
Who runs over more small countries? The USA or Russia? And how many refugees are streaming out of Crimea?
The Israel-pandering was quite distasteful too. Apparently none of these charlatans can grasp the fact that it’s possible to be “pro-Israel” while being vehemently anti-Netanyahu, anti-settlement, and anti-Likud. In fact, the long-term viability of Israel will depend on allies who are capable of doing just that.
Who won the debate?
Elizabeth May, simply by not disgracing herself by being a part of it.
