Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

Appropriate—and inappropriate—apologies: George Jonas has the same hesitations about Stephen Harper’s “apology” to Canada’s First Nations that I do. There’s something fake about apologizing for a misguided policy of your grandfather’s generation—paying it backward, so to speak. Now, if Mr. Harper wanted to apologize for doing nothing of any substance to dismantle the p.c. thought cops/courts, or, given his minority situation, to at least reign them in, that would be an apology worth hearing.

To get the P.M. in the mood for what one hopes and prays will be the next government mea culpa, here are the song stylings of the e’er lachrymose Miss Connie Francis:

Who’s sorry now?

Who’s sorry now?

Who’s so contrite we’ve been forced to kowtow?

Who’s saying, “Please, ditch HRCs.

We’ll get your freedom back somehow?”

 

“Rights”—what a joke!

Gone up in smoke.

Can’t think or say what’s not allowed.

The Left had its way.

Now we must pay.

No way that they’re sorry now.
