“Cat Guy,” the new song from the great Winnipeg punk veterans Propagandhi, opens with a ridiculous rhetorical question: “If baby Hitler and your family dog were both found drowning in a lake/ And you could only rescue one because — well, that’s never really been explained/ Which pitiful creature would you condemn? Which of God’s children would you save?” You are not meant to take this question seriously. Instead, you are meant to consider the state of a society that asks you to ponder questions like that while real atrocities are still happening.
