I'm @Macleans Ottawa bureau chief, which means I write stories about politics and policy. I also sometimes write about art.

    I can hardly believe Rick Santorum just suggested on CNN that students learn CPR as an alternative to pushing for gun control.

        Obviously you have never had to watch your friend die right next to you because they were shot by someone who was able to get a weapon of war at 18....i am a veteran and a vietnam war protester from the 60's so your comment shows your ignorance

        Let’s circle back on that topic later this year after the November mid-terms. I’m sorry you feel so jaded about life. Marching by the millions is the only way to demonstrate our collective disgust and invigorating our allies to go vote. #NovemberIsComing 🌊 #MarchForOurLives

        I will get back to you with the November election results. I hate to admit it, but Trump got large crowds at his rallies and he channeled a movement (entirely wrong-headed movement to be sure). Now the tables have turned and momentum & history are on our side.

        Another great example of why @RickSantorum is no longer a representative for the people. What awful thing to say.
