This is more intelligence than I've heard from any of our adult politicians. And that's not just patting a little girl on the head. What's speaking here is compassion, responsibility, intelligence, concern for others. What's speaking here is reality
Her language is siimple, but clear and strong and realistic.
She is all that Canada's Liberals and Conservatives are not. (and much of what the NDP and the Greens are not.) She has the language of simplicity, of truth, of common sense - which is not common at all.
This is a quite extraordinary person

Oh, the U.S. asked Saudi Arabia for proof it was Iran that bombed the Saudi airfield. No problem. The Saudis answered within hours that them there Iranians did it.
And that answer was predictable even as the words were spoken as we got the answer. Saudi Arabia announced that Iran had done it. So it's okay. The US can nuke Iran right away. I mean, if you can't trust Saudi Arabia, who can you trust?
Trump has, I suspect, backed himself into a corner.
But, boy, you gotta admire those Saudis. I mean, just hours after the attack it had the answer. Who woulda guessed?
Of course, the U.S. and the Saudis have been killing the people of Yemen for several years - and specializing in starving the children. But that's okay.
Will Canada be joining this fight? Quite possibly. Canadian government always kiss up to the U.S. And Trudeau has a history of supporting U.S. mass murder.
(I'm so proud we have a prime minister who's nice to Mr. Trump.)

Let's all sit down and think really, really hard. And for that we have to turn to a newspaper more honest than the North Americans are.
What would Iran gain by attacking Saudi oilfields?
Answer - nothing. That wouldn't frighten the U.S. away. Nor would it reduce th strength of weaponry that could be aimed at Iran. And crippling the Oilfields for a few months? That's hardly a death blow to Saudi Arabia.
What it would set up is an attack on Iran
And note how quickly Saudi Arabia accused Iran. Positively identifying the origins of such an attack can be quite a job. But anyone with half a brain would see the danger of jumping to conclusions here.
But the U.S., on the basis of a VERY speedy analysis, has announced the villain was Iran - a country that could not possibly gain anything from that attack. Indeed, it could only set itself up for an attack by vastly superior forces.
No. Nothing in this story makes sense. But who, obviously, stands to gain from it?
The American oil industry does. It's the one that has been pushing for a war against Iran for some years. The American oil industry wants ownership and control of Iran's oil. That's why these tensions with Iran developed in the first place. And the American oil industry has friends, to say the least, in the U.S. government.
Britain, of course, will almost certainly join in when the U.S. tells it to. The rest of Europe? Not likely.
Canada? Quite possibly. The U.S. might want a sort of repeat of the Korean War in this case. And both the Liberals and the Conservatives would would send Canadians to die for the U.S. oil industry.
Think hard.
An Iranian attack on Saudi Arabia makes no sense whatever. Indeed, it simply weakens the Iranian position. Who benefits? The U.S. oil industry which gets the control over Iran that it has always wanted.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/saudi-arabia-promises-proof-iran-behind-oil-plant-attack-1.5287893
Note the CBC's caution in its announcement of this story. It's headline refers to an ALLEGED Iranian attack. You certainly will rarely see this word 'alleged' in most reports. That's because most north American news media always see our side as telling the truth even as they lie. The CBC is more careful, and more honest.
And here's a pretty good opinion about what is happening.

Oh, come off it. Yes, it is distasteful to do a black face act. But these acts were common in the U.S. and Canada until fairly recently. I can remember seeing them in my church concerts - and this was a church that had some highly respected Black members. My elementary school routinely had such acts.
Al Jolson was a massively popular singer whose whole career was blackface.
No, Trudeau shouldn't have done it. But he was 29, for pete's sake. Nor does he have the slightest sign of racial prejudice at any point.
This overreaction is typical of this election. Of all the problems Canada faces - including our support of the U.S. mass murder of orientals and Muslims, including destruction of all human life on the planet - the bad taste of a 29 year old is pretty trivial. (tell us about all the blacks who have been Conservative leaders over the past hundred and fifty years.)
If there were evidence of Trudeau's racism now, that would be different. But all this fuss is disgusting.
Look. We Canadians, just about all of us, are racist. Let's not kid ourselves. In Nova Scotia, Blacks were dreadfully treated. They were forced, in Halifax, to live in a town at the foot of a garbage dump. When I was a university student in Nova Scotia, blacks were just being accepted - and very, very few of them. Most theatres still forced them to sit in balcony seats. There was a separate home for Black orphans. It was a vile building in a vile setting, and I still shudder at the thought of it.
I grew up in a Montreal that forced almost all blacks and orientals to live in their own ghettoes. And, certainly, none would ever get jobs on the police force. (A typical rental ad was "Select clientele only." And we all knew what that meant.)
Black women, of whatever education, could get work only as household servants.
If black woman wanted decent pay, they could get it only as singers and dancers in nightclubs. (But they were not allowed to talk to clients, or to sit with them even if invited.) Blacks were ignored as potential clerks in department stores.)
Canada's national film board (NFB) has a film on the subject for which I was an adviser. It's called 'Showgirls".
I taught for a very large school board that employed not one black or oriental.
A New Brunswick city is remembered in a poem as "City so white you will not cut a black man's hair."
We white Canadians are as racist as any people in the world. (We just don't admit it.) Yes, Trudeau was wrong to do blackface. But if race is going to be an issue in this election, not all the blame should be dumped on a rich kid called Trudeau. We are all up to our ears in racism.
We are facing the most desperate future in history. And all we're getting out of our candidates is trivia and gossip for this most trivial election - on the part of all parties - in the history of this country. Alas! We're also getting trivia from our news media. There should be a book about the long record of Canada's news media in employing only whites.
_______________________________________________________________
For the future, this is a hell of a lot more important than what Trudeau did as a 29 year old.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/bird-population-decline-1.5288454
In this crucial election, our politicians are campaigning on triviality. And it's disgusting - and worse, we shall have to pay one hell of a price for their behaviour.
And the Canadian people deserve no credit. They are dancing to this childish drivel we call an election. We have a total of 80 years of fatal decline facing us.We have increasing poverty. So who gives a damn? Not the political parties. And not those soggy wretches we call the Canadian people.
This is almost certainly the election that will destroy Canada and it's people. If we elect conservatives, they will so badly delay dealing with climate change, it will probably be too late. Ditto for the LIberals.
Conservatives are prostitutes for the oil industry. Liberals are wimps. The NDP and the Greens are doing their best to be boring and trivial. And the Canadian people? Out to lunch.
And watch for another development. U.S. big business, especially mining, wants control of the north. (That's what the attempt to buy Greenland was all about.) And they may well decide to do something similar through Alberta.
Unless there is a sudden change - and unless the Canadian people wake up - this is the end of of Canada and the end of the game.

This is delicate.
For centuries, we have told our military veterans that they were serving the Canadian people and even serving the queen. Sometimes that has been true. But Canadians in the Boer War were not serving Canada or the queen. They were serving the greed of wealthy British who wanted Africa's gold.
The Korean War? Get real. This was a war to help the U.S. get a base for an invasion of China. It had nothing to do with Canada. Afghanistan was a war to add that country to the American empire. But we don't say that. Do we?
We are now close to more war to serve American billionaires.
None of this is a criticism of the soldiers. It's a criticism of how we lie to them when we are actually sending them to die for a cause that has nothing to do with us. We make war what it is not - glorious. And, sadly, a major force in spreading this lying and betrayal is The Canadian Legion.
