It's All About Harper And Success.

Harper, you say? Yup, Poilièvre needs to become the next Harper to win. Oftentimes, the key to political success in Canada goes down the road of political transformation, and perhaps Stephen Harper is the greatest example of that: a guy who rose from the ashes of 2004 and was re-born ahead of the 2006 campaign. We all know what happened after that. Harper got power, only to eventually squander it in 2015.

So, that's the game plan for the next election -- or at least it should be -- turning your own image around so that it becomes self-evident that you've got what it takes to win and, hopefully, win big.

But the power of transformation is often a double-edged sword. Politicians can only re-invent themselves once, rarely twice. That's the problem this Prime Minister has: everyone now knows that the emperor has no clothes, that his government is often incompetent and in shambles, that the guy at the top has no ethics, vision or true sense of governing. Trudeau is all about bullshit, wokeness and a pretense at actually having the ability to govern effectively and in the best interests of this country. His phoney baloney routine, his facade of actual competence as a leader, has finally worn thin with much of the voting public and he bloody well knows it. In short, his only realistic hope of remaining in office is predicated on the other guy either self-destructing, or making a major mistake in an election campaign. For Trudeau to win, he desperately needs for Poilièvre to take the bait and blow himself and his party right out of the water, which Pierre is unlikely to do. Rarely, but sometimes, being a professional politician has its merits. That's what's happening now. May it continue.
