Hopefully the new generation that is supposedly fostering all of this (my own; the Millennials) will look back on this time like the by-now 40-something Generation X-ers look at how they wasted their teens and twenties being depressed and worshiping rock stars who killed themselves and such. "Wow, we really wasted our time trawling a politician's old Twitter/Facebook, looking for things to 'bust' them on from 15 years before they entered politics, when they were young and dumb college or high school kids? Dear God, who has that kind of time? I wish I could get it all back now!"

I am reminded of something the lapsed Anglican priest Alan Watts once wrote, when he was still alive:

"As is the nature of revolutions, the revolution against God gives place to the worse tyranny of the absolutist state–worse because it cannot even forgive, and because it recognizes nothing outside the powers of its jurisdiction. For while the latter was theoretically true of God, his earthly representative the Church was always prepared to admit that though the laws of God were immutable, no one could presume to name the limits of his mercy. When the throne of the Absolute is left vacant, the relative usurps it and commits the real idolatry, the real indignity against God–the absolutizing of a
concept, a conventional abstraction."

Under this new regime there is no chance of appeal- and no statute of limitations. ;)

I haven't got much time for Justin Trudeau, although I'm not Canadian. But even so, when his detractors bring up stuff from the ancient past like his "blackface" episode, which took place years ago, my first thought about his critics is "Well, I hope you're clear with the Almighty, because He really is going to bring up YOUR every sin."

Trudeau seeks to put blackface scandal behind him

It's time these people gave this ancient history a miss. Public figures are human - they make mistakes, sometimes stupid, just like the rest of us.
