When you subtract the factless zombie assertions (such as the nonexistent DOD budget cuts) from Mr. Solway’s list — plus the criticisms that are equally descriptive of Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush — what remains is the picture of a fairly standard-issue American liberal politician who’s been given the thankless task of trying to cut a firebreak between the nation’s present and future, and the flaming wreckage of its irresponsible foreign and domestic policies, which the prior administration crashed and fled like teenagers from a stolen car.

Canadians, on the whole, don’t share the American predisposition to breathless, uninformed hyperventilation, but I will excuse Mr. Solway because he is a poet.
