Happy Bastille Day - a good day to ask ourselves whether we are inside looking out at the mob, or outside with the mob. The mob won because of defections; did the defectors help to burn their own house down? not all gaolers are evil, and not all mobs are righteous. Choose wisely!

WFP is a good organization, but is not "the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses." (Nobel's will), @janoberg is right.

New Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's book, Plutocrats (2012) still relevant and worth reading. We have had plutocrat Finance Ministers (Martin, Morneau) now we have one who understands them.
