Are we in the 21st Century or 1984?

George Orwell is well known for his dystopian futuristic novel 1984 about a time when the government imposes the requirement to practice “doublethink,” defined as the ability to hold two contradictory ideas and simultaneously accept both as true. Over the past decade the social engineers of the “far left,” who have seemingly gained control of many levels of policy development in local, provincial and federal governments, are imposing, and in some cases legislating, a new “doublethink” upon Canadians under the umbrella of “political correctness.”  Truth no longer matters; expressing or affirming the politically correct view is what counts.
