Justice Abella uses U.S. speech to take aim at ‘narcissistic populism’
A Supreme Court of Canada judge has used a commencement speech in the United States to publicly denounce "narcissistic populism."
Speaking to graduates at a Boston-area university on Sunday, Justice Rosalie Abella identified what she sees as dangerous trends. Recalling how her Jewish parents survived the Holocaust in Eastern Europe in the 1940s, her ruminations about the modern world left some people to wonder whether she was also making veiled critiques of U.S. President Donald Trump's rise to power.
"Here we are in 2017, barely seven decades later, watching 'never again' turn into 'again and again,' and watching that wonderful democratic consensus fragment, shattered by narcissistic populism, an unhealthy tolerance for intolerance, a cavalier indifference to equality," the 70-year-old judge said. She added that there is also "a shocking disrespect for the borders between power and its independent adjudicators like the press and the courts."
