VANCOUVER - The way to figure out reality, the Greek philosopher Protogoras once said, was: “homo mensura.” Meaning, essentially, that humans are the measure of all things, and how we measure existence. Not God, us. For the past two years - and for four long years, four years before that - Donald J. Trump upended Protogoras’ formulation. Trump was The Everything. He was the scale on which all politics was measured. Unless you were in a coma in 2016-2020 (and for a timely reoc

Change. In the 2003 Ontario general election, Ontario Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty crushed the Progressive Conservative government, winning 72 of 103 seats in the provincial legislature. He absolutely decimated the PCs, who had grown arrogant and corrupt and too-long in power. There are lots of reasons why McGuinty won. He had an impressive slate of candidates, he had a platform with lots of good ideas in it, he was the best guy for the job of Premier. But his slogan - “cho
