Politics As Gang Turf War
Andrew Potter’s interesting if puzzling at times—Dief as a great PM? Not likely. Great opposition leader, but not a great PM—comparison of politics with struggles between gangs and hoodlums.
Are we past machine politics? In the contemporary realm of personality-focused, media-driven electioneering, Jean Chretien, Brian Mulroney and Pierre Trudeau were the ultimate political bosses. Potter’s drawing connections that make me wonder whether we might still be stuck in Great McGinty-esque politics.
