You'd think one of Canada's best-known pundits would have something interesting to say on the verge of the first Conservative government in 13 years. But instead, Jeffrey Simpson, the Globe and Mail's "national affairs" columnist, devoted his Saturday column to the national affairs of ... Turkey.
Then, in today's La Presse, he has a column in French basically endorsing Frank McKenna for Liberal leader.
Also recall that Simpson took off to the UK in April and May 2005 to cover the ins-and-outs of Tony Blair's third successive massive landslide majority at the same time as the Gomery Inquiry heard from witnesses like Chuck Guité and Paul Coffin. Then, upon his return, the day after Beryl Wajsman's fascinating testimony Simpson penned this pertinent column.
I'm just sayin'.
