The Grant Rant

A journalist's view from Niagara

This is the moral nihilism of Donald Trump, the alt-right and the white power movement nestled comfortably in its shadow. There is no right and wrong. No moral high ground. No lines that cannot be crossed. There is only the muck through which we all sift and all that matters is who managed to climb to the top of the biggest pile mud.

In the wake of the U.S missile strike against Syria following the gas attack against civilians, the time has come for Canadians to think and talk seriously about what is happening in Syria.

Standing with our fellow Canadians, regardless of their religion, is not just an emotional balm in the face of tragedy. It is the story we need to tell each other, every day, precisely because that is what makes us what we are.
