    Mark Steyn & Jon Kay are both products of the unique culture of upper-class Anglo Montreal, members of a group that was both elite but not hegemonic. This fed into a unique strain of reactionary politics unmatched in its goofiness. In this TED Talk I will....https://twitter.com/swordsjew/status/1358949680256794626 …

        Growing up is hard. And I’ll bet a lot of people make a mistake the first time their mom doesn’t buy shampoo for them.

        You may remember this, which made Jonathan Kay the main character on Twitter a few days ago. A bit of a thread to humanize a guy who may have changed since I knew him. https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1355906705918455808 …

        To see the "unique culture of upper-class Anglo Montreal" in actions, see PM Justin Trudeau (vacation with Aga Khan, multiple instances of Blackface, appropriated Haida tattoo, embarrassing trip to India).

        "elite but not hegemonic". Next time you're in Montreal, you should spend more time on McGill campus. Quebec society, especially the financial sphere, was literally built on anglo hegemony until the 1960s, until they felt so threatened by Frenchness they decamped for Toronto.

        Right, formerly hegemonic but now a kind of pampered minority that sees itself as the victim. That explains their politics.
