The National Post has never tried to hide its hatred of social-democratic politicians. Over-the-top, incendiary language is part of this American-owned media chain’s playbook. So, needless to say, I don’t tend to pay much attention to their columnists.

But a recent column on New Democratic Party leader Avi Lewis crossed the line into an extremist hate threat. It needs to be called out.

After pressing the province for five years, we’re still coming up short.

As we bid goodbye to summer and welcome fall, many of us breathe a sigh of relief that another “wildfire season” is winding down. Our skies are clear of smoke again. The days may be shortening, but our hearts feel lighter.
