The complete text of Saturday's op-ed pages:
- the centrepiece is Margaret Wente's complaint about how hard it is to use an iPhone and to have young people patronizing her.
- Above her, a worry piece about Justin Trudeau by some guy who was influential in the 1990s.
- Below her, a sneer at Barack Obama by some guy who was important in the 1980s.
- Opposite, a full page editorial complaining that official commemoration of Canada's 150th anniversary is "pork."
What century are these people in? The fake-news onslaught confirms how important credible news will be, but that's gonna be hard to find in this nostalgia fest paper.
