The Macdonald Monument, honoring Canada's first prime minister, stood in Place du Canada (that's Dominion Square for us old-school types) for 125 years - until this weekend. The mob has now torn Sir John A Macdonald from his handsome baldachin, and, as he hit the ground, they had the additional joy of beheading him: Where were the coppers? Ah, well. Like Jerry Falwell Jr, they prefer to stand to one side and watch. As I wrote when the vandals came for another Macdonald statue two years ago: This is not an assault on historical figures; this is an assault on history itself...

Steyn's Song of the WeekMidnight Sun
When Chicago burned, I offered a song about Chicago. So, with Kenosha burning, I thought I'd offer a song about Kenosha - figuring the way things are going in America this format should keep me going till retirement. Alas, I failed to anticipate that there are apparently no songs about Kenosha. Oh, well. There must be a songwriter or two born in Kenosha. But again, apparently not. There is, however, a very great instrumentalist who, while not born in Kenosha, can legitimately claim to have been shaped by the town, both as a man and as a musician. I speak of the long-lived king of the vibes, Lionel Hampton... Ave atque valePink Shorts and Shimura
