Our politics in Canada has suddenly contracted rabies

It is exactly what is happening in Republican circles in the United States, where politicians like Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz, and Elise Stefanik, as well as TV hosts like Tucker Carlson, continue to push an alternate universe in which mandating masks is the worst assault on U.S. constitutional freedom on record. An attempt to save lives is equal to a Nazi act.

Chaplains from the Billy Graham Evangelical Christian Society, pictured on the Hill on Feb. 10, 2022. This is no longer a question of jurisdiction. It is a matter of peace, order, and good government.  If things remain as they are, it will signal that disturbing the peace, disorder, and no government at all, are the new watch words as we all sink deeper and deeper into Trump World, writes Michael Harris.
