2026: Will It Be Good Or Bad For Pierre?

For once, I won't tell you what I expect will happen. Instead, I'll lay out a couple of political scenarios and let you call it.

Why hasn't the trickle of CPC floor crossers continued? Sure, it's the holidays, but the Liberals were building quite a head of steam with that. And then suddenly, poof, nothing. Does this mean that it's the end, or have the Liberals paused for strategic reasons? You be the judge.

What will happen at the leadership review? Will Pierre receive a strong endorsement, or will his number not live up to previous expectations? I'm going with 97%, given the delegate selection process, which likely produced very few fifth columnists. LOL. Most, if not almost all, will be enthusiastic for Pierre. What number are you expecting?

What can we expect come the month of February? Will we see more Liberal stunts, or will they be concentrating on seducing one more MP?

In any event, post the leadership review vote, Pierre will have to be at his best, strategically speaking, to outwit the Carney strategists. Are the Liberals still leaning toward a spring election, or will they wait for the opposition parties to try to oust them, probably in the fall?

Only God knows what politics has in store for Pierre this year. I note with interest that the last two polls have the Liberals leading by only two to three percentage points. That either indicates that their support is softening, or you could look at it from the point of view that we are no longer tied with them. Take your pick. I've got no idea what those numbers really mean. Stay tuned!

JP Morgan Chase Has Allegedly Been Both Short and LONG Silver Since 2008...

Who knew? Allegedly 750 million ounces. And with China's export ban (licences required) of processed silver coming into effect on January 1st...well, I'm laughing. Ah, three hundred dollars an ounce for silver. Nice, except for Tesla, Apple, Samsung, and the rest.

LPC: Why The Polls Mean Everything And Nothing At The Same Time.

Nanos has a four-day rolling poll that's out with Day One results. It shows the Liberals and Conservatives tied at thirty-six percent. The same applies to Liaison, which has both parties at thirty-eight percent. None of this is good news for Conservatives as long as Pierre's personal rating lags the party's. It's as simple as that. Another thing is the notoriously efficient Liberal vote, which means they're favoured to win more seats in a close split vote. Add to that the fact that we aren't even in March yet, and the New Democrats' support is starting to firm up in the polls. Not good news for an opposition party hoping to form a government next spring. In short, the latest polls mean everything for the Liberals but not much for the rest of us.

Now, as to why the polls mean nothing: Carney has already poached two CPC MPs, and indications are that at least two more will be deserting the party at a moment of Carney's choosing. I expect that won't happen until next February for strategic reasons: the Liberals are hoping that Pierre wins the leadership review vote next month with flying colours. They've correctly calculated that as long as Poilièvre is the leader, it will continue to be great for them. Picture it: two or more floor crossers move to the Liberals, giving Carney his precious majority. That means at least four more years with Carney as prime minister. Add to the mix Pierre receiving a resounding mandate at the convention in Calgary, and you can tack on another four years. Eight long years before the CPC will have a realistic chance of forming a government. 

Some will argue that the above is irrelevant. I say, tell that to Rodriguez, who resigned once it became clear that he no longer had the support of a majority in caucus. Put another way, caucus, which is made up primarily of MNAs elected in Liberal strongholds, started to feel the heat and was worried that they might lose their ridings come October. So, they made their move, and Pablo was history. Look to Ontario CPC MPs to head in the same direction if Carney illegitimately gets a majority via floor crossing. Once it becomes their collective ass versus that of the leader, the Reform Act will be quickly dusted off and voted upon. It was easy for them to have said no up until now. However, wait until only the Liberals can command the confidence of the House. At that point, a third of caucus who hate Pierre's guts will finally have their say, and it won't be pretty for the leader. In politics, the golden rule reminds us that each MP's ass always inevitably passes before that of the leader. Everyone in Ottawa is already well aware of that. 

Epstein : When It's All Over One Sentence Will Be At Least Twenty Years.

This gang of clowns, liars and criminals have got Nixon beat by a country mile! They're spectacularly stupid. The DOJ is under a legal obligation to release all files unless they are classified, would compromise national security, jeopardize the privacy of victims, or are related to active investigations. Congress ordered their release last month, and previously, the courts had also issued decisions requiring public disclosure of some documents.

It is estimated that there are more than 1.2 million documents, and the search for additional batches is ongoing across federal judicial districts, purportedly in full compliance with the law. Thus far, three batches have been released, which have received minimal review by the DOJ. However, here's the rub: upon release, scholars and researchers have screen-captured the documents only to discover that some files were deleted after the fact when they were already in the public domain. That's obstruction of justice. 

Multiple people from this or his previous administration have already gone to jail, lost their law licence or been pardoned by the president. That sets the tone for future developments. All of this will likely lead to Trump's third impeachment, and thanks to the DOJ's alleged conduct, he is likely not only to be impeached by the House but also convicted at trial in the Senate.

Then will come the question of presidential immunity and whether it provides partial or full immunity for a former president. If the SCOTUS rules that immunity ends upon leaving office, then Trump will be in serious legal jeopardy.

Thanks to the DOJ, the genie is now out of the bottle, and nothing this administration does will change that. It's no longer a matter of if but more a question of when the victims will finally receive true justice. 

PLQ : Deux raisons pour lesquelles Rodriguez n'est plus le chef.

Tout d'abord, je trouve ironique que Pablo se soit senti obligé de démissionner. Cependant, cela n'est ni regrettable ni triste pour plusieurs raisons. Lorsque Rodriguez nous dit qu'il n'a rien fait qui soit contraire aux principes éthiques, et encore moins illégal, je suis tout à fait d'accord avec lui. En fin de compte, Pablo est la principale victime de son entourage politique. 

Il a commis plusieurs erreurs graves : pour commencer, la plupart, sinon la totalité, des militants de son équipe provenaient du parti politique le plus corrompu de ce pays, à savoir le Parti SNC-Lavalin du Canada. Ces braves gens se sentaient à l'aise non seulement pour repousser les limites, mais certains d'entre eux ont également enfreint les lois et règlements du Québec. Pour Rodriguez, il est inévitablement devenu la principale victime des actions de certains de ses organisateurs et militants issus de cet autre parti et imprégnés de sa culture corrompue. Pablo est devenu une victime, la cible de dommages directs et collatéraux. Il a ensuite fait preuve d'une qualité personnelle qui a contribué à sa chute : Rodriguez est peut-être la personne la plus loyale en politique envers ses amis et ses connaissances. Dans son esprit, il était là pour les défendre et peut-être même pour traverser un mur afin de les soutenir. Malheureusement, cet engagement noble était loin d'être réciproque dans plusieurs cas.

Ce sont les deux raisons pour lesquelles les événements qui ont suivi ont contraint Pablo à démissionner. Enfin, il y avait un autre élément imprévisible pour lui : le PLQ a menacé Le Journal de Montréal de poursuites judiciaires. À partir de ce moment, il est devenu, psychologiquement parlant, la proie de la presse parlementaire. Dans l'esprit des médias, il était temps de s'acharner sur lui. En effet, c'était sa pire erreur de jugement. Les journalistes peuvent nous dire qu'ils n'étaient là que pour rendre compte des événements. Ne soyons pas naïfs. Lorsque Rodriguez a renvoyé le scandale devant les avocats, cela a marqué le début de la fin de ses relations cordiales avec les médias québécois et francophones.
