This week’s edition of PJM Political comes at you from the intersection of the Tyranny of Nice and the Cold Civil War, exploring the Canada of today, and a potential sneak preview of the America of tomorrow, starting with our first guest, the legendary columnist to the world, Mark Steyn of Steynonline.com ^[4]. Steyn was recently acquitted by the British Columbia “Human Rights” Tribunal of charges of hate speech, stemming, bizarrely enough, from a reprint of a chapter of his best-selling book America Alone ^[5], in Canada’s leading weekly news magazine, Maclean’s. But as Mark explains, it’s very much a pyrrhic victory.

Plus:

• Kathy Shaidle ^[6] and Pete Vere ^[7] on their new book, The Tyranny of Nice ^[8], for which Steyn wrote the introduction.
• Blogger April Gavaza wonders if voter anger combined with the growing divide between blue and red state voters portends the early stages of “a cold civil war ^[9].”
• James Lileks ^[10] with his own trademark Lileksian take on the voter anger fermenting on both sides of the aisle.
• From PJTV ^[11], Pajamas CEO Roger L. Simon ^[12] interviews Todd Zywicki ^[13] of the George Mason University School of Law and The Volokh Conspiracy ^[14] on how personal bankruptcies are playing a surprisingly large role in driving the election.
• And host Steve Green ^[15] with a forecast of tonight’s debate and a snapshot of where the Electoral College stands.
• Produced by Ed Driscoll ^[16].
