A Nation for All Except Its Nationals

One of the occupational hazards of this line of work is that at a certain point you've seen it all before. For example, not many people outside the United Kingdom retain any memory of Gordon Brown, Tony Blair's woeful and short-lived successor as prime minister. Mr Brown led the Labour Party to defeat in the 2010 election. Here's what I had to say about it at the time:

The official "defining moment" of the campaign was Gordon Brown's unguarded post-photo-op dismissal of Gillian Duffy as a "bigoted woman." Mrs. Duffy, a plain-spoken working-class granny and lifelong Labour voter, had made the mistake of asking Mr. Brown, her party leader, a very mild question about immigrants from eastern Europe. He got back in his car and wrote her off, forgetting he was still miked. So she's a "bigot." He's not. That's why he makes all the decisions for her, and she just makes the best of them. What part of that don't you understand?

Now we have another of the Queen's first ministers writing off the citizenry - everyone's favorite Bollywood bridesmaid and friend to illegal immigrants partout, Justin Trudeau:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a woman who heckled him about illegal immigrants at a recent rally in Quebec that her "racism has no place" in Canada. The exchange was caught on video, and is now making the rounds online.

"I want to know when you are going to refund the $146 million we paid for your illegal immigrants," shouted a woman in French at the prime minister at an event in Sabrevois, Quebec on Thursday.

"Ok, Madame," Trudeau responded. "This intolerance towards immigrants has no room in Canada."
