I read an essay of note by Michael Valpy in the Toronto Star Op-Ed pages on the subject of social cohesion and how it might be affected by a national head of government determined to go against the social tide of the nation at whatever costs they deem fit.

Opinions, in support and in dissent, would be of interest.

Let us hope that, in two years, there's something left to save.
