I should take up the practice of writing about Canadian politics, a subject of which I am at least as ignorant as Mr. McParland is of American politics.

“I should take up the practice of writing about Canadian politics, a subject of which I am at least as ignorant as Mr. McParland is of American politics.”

So true! (Not that I know what you know or don’t know about Cana politics) But above all, a well-established position of blithering ignorance is absolutely necessary to be a good political-scene writer. After all, there is a HUGH shortage of them in the US. Eh?
