Greg Staples has this anecdote this morning.
About 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon, there was a sort of muffled roar — it was the kind of noise you hear a block or two away from a construction site — that echoed within the Guy-Favreau complex here, where the Gomery inquiry has its Montreal home.
For a few seconds, the place fell silent, as though a roomful of ears were cocked.
In the witness box, Daniel Dezainde leaned into the microphone and said, “Don’t worry — I have no car parked here.”
It was funny, and everyone laughed.
But as a metaphor for just how far the Liberal Party of Canada has fallen, it was impeccable.
Mr. Dezainde, an eminently respectable lifelong Liberal and the former executive director of the Quebec wing of the party, was making a little joke about a car bomb, and everyone understood immediately that the humour lay not in the absurdity of the remark, but rather in the unsettling truths it contained.
