Opinion | BY MICHAEL HARRIS | December 9, 2024
U.S. President Joe Biden, pictured in Ottawa on March 24, 2023. Like Trump, the aspersions Biden has cast against the U.S. Department of Justice are of a purely personal nature. They invite Americans to embrace the dangerous lie that the justice system and the rule of law it represents are corrupt and not to be trusted, writes Michael Harris.

Justin Trudeau
From the Liberal Party's point of view, the only thing worse than Justin Trudeau, pictured, remaining as prime minister is his leaving, writes Michael Harris. And the Liberals are giving Pierre Poilievre a free pass on the details of his policy by presenting Canadians with a Jerry Springer-type distraction—their internal destructive psycho-drama.
