Opinion | BY TIM POWERS | May 15, 2019
Conservative MP Brad Trost and his daughter, Helena, on Parliament Hill at the annual March for Life rally on May 9. Liberals and Conservatives sniped about whether some MPs’ presence at the event meant women's reproductive rights were in peril if Conservatives came to power. It’s just a matter of Liberals trying to inflame a faux drama, says Tim Powers. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

The Trumpian way is also to showboat with outrageous statements and dubious policies designed to excite the base. Picking fights is Trump’s signature tactic. Jason Kenney, pictured May 2, 2019, on the Hill with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is following the Trumpian way, and not just on the carbon tax, writes Michael Harris.

The media, academics, independent experts from all professions, can play a role in a national round of fact-checking—and the work needs to start immediately. From now until the October election, the facts must hit the fan. In the United States, they already have. Last week’s State of the Union address by U.S. President Donald Trump set off a ticker-tape of real-time fact-checking on Twitter, by everyone from The New York Times, to the networks, to intellectual magazines, individuals and, of course, political opponents of Trump’s.

Demonstrators who sport the yellow neon security vests French motorists are required to carry for emergencies emerged in November in response to the French government’s climate change-mitigating tax on diesel fuel, but the composition of the protesters has evolved to include others including anti-immigration populists.
