A funny thing happened when the city of St. Paul declared its sixth snow emergency of the season on Saturday. Virtually nobody got towed. Sure, a few cars parked in blatantly unsafe or illegal conditions got hauled away by tow trucks, which happens even when there’s no snow on the ground. But the city didn’t send its contracted tow truck drivers out to clear residential streets. https://www.twincities.com/2018/04/17/why-no-car-towing-during-winter-storm-st-paul-ran-out-of-room/...

In Canada, we often hear from our neighbours to the south how lucky we are in our leaders. When Trump was declared President, we felt a warm glow of pride at the envious looks directed at us and our prime minister, Justin Trudeau.

So you have to understand that now, amidst the anger and overblown rhetoric circulating in...
