| The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights is criticizing Quebec's Bill 78, a new law that imposes strict limits on student protests. BLOG POSTS  | J.J. McCullough: Will Justin Step Up? Will Ezra Back Down?
 Will he or won't he? Critics agree Justin Trudeau's decisive positions on looking dreamy and punching people obviously make him an ideal leader to spice up the stagnant third-place party everyone's grown sick of writing about. In Meta-media news, Ezra Levant, has been reprimanded for using what's been described as a slur (but not by him) on TV.
