Scott Gilmore: It's been a pretty good ride and the authors of our long-delayed demise will likely be two of the whitest and most mediocre of us all

You don’t truly appreciate something until it’s about to disappear. And, I confess, I didn’t fully grasp how absolutely wonderful it has been to be a mediocre white man, until I recently realized our time is coming to a close.

All along the way, in every job I did, I was vaguely aware of colleagues who were smarter, faster or better than me. I’m pretty sure I was never the smartest guy in the room. I know I was never the last person in the office. Virtually every single woman I have ever worked with carried more weight than I did. And my immigrant colleagues have always hustled circles around me.

In Canada, with one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world and a female majority, the two whitest men you have ever seen are naturally the only contenders for Prime Minister. Their qualifications? One was the son of another Prime Minister. The other has literally no qualifications—he went straight from school to politics .

Why does it matter that they are white? Are you racist or something?

Neither their lack of melanin nor their gender has much to do with the self-aggrandizing incompetence of these two men. Replacing one form of prejudice with another is not a solution to anything. Not even your white male guilt complex.

Let's talk about Zero Influence and Pathetically Powerless Canadian PM TRUDOPE!!! Talk about MEDIOCRITY!!

jonrog1 I think it's really disingenuous and overly effusive praise of both of these men to compliment them as 'mediocre'. They haven't accomplished anything that would entitle them to such a flattering and undeserved description.

jonrog1 Assuage your guilt: Vote Democrat
