Pablo est dans une position inconfortable.

Je suis d'accord pour dire que lorsqu'on est ministre, il faut toujours maintenir la solidarité ministérielle. C'est clair. Mais ses détracteurs ont aussi des choses à dire : ils parlent de garderies, d'assurance dentaire, d'assurance-médicaments, d'immigration et d'intervention du gouvernement fédéral dans des domaines de compétence provinciale. Cette situation place Rodriguez dans une position délicate. Comment peut-il légitimement critiquer les positions de son ancien gouvernement ? Il faut même aller plus loin : pour être cohérent, Pablo doit défendre ces positions antérieures dans la course. Il n'y a pas d'autre choix. Cela ne manquera pas de ternir ses références professionnelles en tant que nationaliste québécois. Ce ne sont pas des jours glorieux. Et comme si ce n'était pas assez, il a la malchance d'avoir l'appui ferme d'un ancien ministre qui a donné sa parole à un candidat et qui a ensuite changé d'idée ! Espérons que ceux qui soutiennent la candidature de Rodriguez ne feront pas de même... 

Pablo is in an uncomfortable position.

I agree that when you're a minister, you must always maintain ministerial solidarity. That's clear. But his critics also have something to say: they're talking about child care, dental insurance, pharmacare, immigration and federal government intervention in areas of provincial jurisdiction. This situation puts Rodriguez in an awkward position. How can he legitimately criticize the positions of his former government? We have to go even further: to be consistent, Pablo must defend these previous positions in the race. There is no other choice. This will certainly tarnish his professional credentials as a Quebec nationalist. These are not glorious days. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he has the misfortune to have the firm support of a former minister who gave his word to a candidate and then changed his mind! Let's hope that those who support Rodriguez's candidacy don't do the same... 

Carney Gets In And His French Comes Off Like A Thud.

I don't get these people. It's not like they haven't had fucking YEARS to come up with half-decent French! But they were too damned lazy to work at it. They couldn't have cared less. Carney, Clark. How many others? Carney's French should be a total disqualifier. This is probably the only gift Freeland gets out of the gate. May she make the most of it. 

Pierre: That Guy You See Coming Up Fast In The Rear View Mirror Is Called Ford.

Again, Curious hit the nail on the head. No question, the so-called CaptainCanadaTM is already publicly auditioning for the CPC leadership. Even a blind person can see that. But Ford is nothing if not discreet when we're talking about his future political ambitions -- he makes his waves nicely and with understatement, not to take away or distract from some of Poilièvre's national glow. 

But Man, oh, man, we already know who the next leader is. His name is Doug and it's not a matter of if, but only a question of WHEN. The day Ford runs, I'll be among those backing him. 

Pierre Takes No Position And Feels Little Pain For The Time Being.

Let's start with a minor but important point: I sometimes agree with Curious and I think he is bang on here: there is no way in Hell that the next election will be about the carbon tax. Not a chance so Poilièvre might as well give it a rest. All Canadians are already sick of it anyway as Pierre would no doubt admit in private.

Now, let's tackle both sides of the Poilièvre coin: to begin, until Trump is in office and has enacted tariffs by passing them through Congress, Pierre doesn't have to take a position on that as regards future Canadian tariffs which would come into force in reprisal. Under present circumstances, Pierre doesn't have to choose between Ottawa and Alberta. That's not a choice that he willingly wants to make. That much is crystal clear. Of course, the other side of that coin is the downside: you know how that goes about true leadership taking a position early and coming on strong with a clearly articulated national position that all or most parties would be in favour of. At least on the margins, Poilièvre is already paying a political price for being silent. 

Now let's move this ahead to when American tariffs are actually in effect. As a future prime minister, Pierre will have no choice but to embrace the national consensus and sideline Smith and her positions on energy. If we go the cutoff route, nothing gets carved out or exempted:  we cut off oil and gas, electricity, hydropower and any other energy source we can come up with. Period. The pain must be felt on all fronts and in every applicable jurisdiction. So, Pierre has got to get it now, we're not talking about the NEP here. If he fails TheCanadaTestTM, his party's numbers will suddenly be in jeopardy. 

Pedant: Ready To Fight With Telford?

Pedant,

There are two obstacles to giving the DC job to Harper: first, Trudeau will give Telford the job before the curtain falls on his prime ministership. So...any incoming Poilièvre government will likely have to buy her off to liberate the position. Secondly, Poilièvre knows that to effectively go toe-to-toe with Trump, you must play his game and preferably beat him. That means you give the DC job to Harper BECAUSE of his public commentary, not despite it. And besides, what Harper said is basically milk toast in the end. Only an imbecile would be offended or pissed off by what Harper said. Oh yes, but then we are talking about Trump. LOL.   

Gould? Talk About An Unconventional Candidacy.

Now, this takes guts, especially from a Government House Leader who is not exactly loved by her other party counterparts.

What I'll be waiting for with bated breath will be to see who rounds out her team. Maybe she can win. Stranger things have happened.

QLP: Rodriguez should be disqualified as a leadership candidate.

Following the launch of Rodriguez's candidacy, I expressed the opinion that Pablo had a serious lack of judgement that disqualified him as a candidate.

And now, according to Warren Kinsella's website, THE WAR ROOM, we have learned this:

"Former federal Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, who is running for the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party, is facing questions about his decision to hold a meeting with an Ottawa lobbyist and friend about one of her clients that received funding from his department."

NDP ethics critic Matthew Green said Rodriguez should not have attended the meeting with Lisa Kirbie, founder and managing director of consultancy Blackbird Strategies, when he was heritage minister, as it created the appearance of a conflict of interest.

The November 2022 meeting on behalf of Ms Kirbie's client, the Kluane First Nation, was declared on Ms Kirbie's lobbying register.... But Mr Green said Mr Rodriguez should have erred on the side of caution and recused himself from the meeting with Ms Kirbie. Ministers should refrain from taking part in official meetings with friends, he said, as they could find themselves in an ethical conflict of interest.

PLQ : Rodriguez devrait être disqualifié en tant que candidat à la direction du parti.

Suite au lancement de la candidature de Rodriguez, j'avais émis l'opinion que Pablo avait un sérieux manque de jugement qui le disqualifiait comme candidat.

Et maintenant, selon le site web de Warren Kinsella, The War Room, nous avons appris ceci :

[TRADUCTION] "L'ancien ministre fédéral du Patrimoine, Pablo Rodriguez, qui brigue la direction du Parti libéral du Québec, est confronté à des questions concernant sa décision de tenir une réunion avec une lobbyiste d'Ottawa qui est son amie au sujet de l'un de ses clients qui a reçu des fonds de son ministère.

Matthew Green, porte-parole du NPD en matière d'éthique, a déclaré que M. Rodriguez n'aurait pas dû assister à la réunion avec Lisa Kirbie, fondatrice et directrice générale de la société de conseil Blackbird Strategies, lorsqu'il était ministre du patrimoine, car cela a créé l'apparence d'un conflit d'intérêts.

La réunion de novembre 2022 au nom du client de Mme Kirbie, la Première nation de Kluane, a été déclarée sur le registre des activités de lobbying par Mme Kirbie.... Mais M. Green a déclaré que M. Rodriguez aurait dû pécher par excès de prudence et se récuser de la réunion avec Mme Kirbie. Les ministres devraient s'abstenir de participer à des réunions officielles avec des amis, a-t-il déclaré, car ils pourraient se trouver en situation de conflit d'intérêts au regard des règles éthiques."

If LeBlanc Is Not Drafted, Liberals Can Forget It In Quebec.

If the Liberals don't draft LeBlanc or another francophone, they can forget holding their own in Quebec. No Liberal leadership run can be considered serious and credible without a candidate from Quebec or New Brunswick.

Bachand takes on Rodriguez.

Wow. Bachand supports Milliard. Let's just say that his comments about Pablo were not very elegant: [TRANSLATION] "Maybe Quebecers need something other than career politicians. They need experienced people - and Charles is experienced - but they also need young people." 

And then there was this: [TRANSLATION] The Quebec Liberal Party in the regions does not exist, it barely exists, it is very weak. Quebecers in the regions are preparing to vote massively for the Bloc or the Conservative Party. Would the Quebec Liberal Party select as leader someone who was the right-hand man of the Government of Canada for 10 years? I don't get it. Pablo Rodriguez is a good man, but this is not the time for him to lead the Quebec Liberal Party.

In my opinion, these comments will harm his candidate's campaign. They say they won't use negative politics and then they do it. It's a lack of class, to say the least. As a result, Bachand's support will hurt Rodriguez less than expected.

It remains to be seen whether other former Charest ministers will follow Bachand's lead. 

Bachand affronte Rodriguez.

Wow. Bachand appuie Milliard. Disons que ses commentaires sur Pablo n'étaient pas très élégants: « Les Québécois ont besoin peut-être d'autre chose que des politiciens dont c'est la carrière. Ils ont besoin de gens expérimentés - et Charles l'est avec son expérience - mais jeunes aussi.  »  

Et puis, il y a eu ceci : Le Parti libéral du Québec en région n'existe pas, il existe très peu, il est très faible. Les Québécois des régions se préparent à voter massivement pour le Bloc ou le Parti conservateur. Est-ce que le Parti libéral du Québec nommerait comme chef quelqu'un qui a été le bras droit du gouvernement du Canada pendant 10 ans ? Je ne comprends pas. Pablo Rodriguez est un homme bon, mais ce n'est pas le bon moment pour le Parti libéral du Québec.

À mon avis, ces propos vont nuire à la campagne de son candidat. On dit qu'on ne veut pas faire de la politique négative et on en fait. C'est un manque de classe, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. Par conséquent, le soutien de Bachand nuira moins que prévu à Rodriguez.

Reste à voir si d'autres anciens ministres de Charest suivront l'exemple de Bachand.  

The Only Premier Who Isn't Full Of Shit Is The One With NO Interprovincial Trade Barriers in 2025.

Oh, right...

POS Doesn't Give A Shit If It's Trudeau And Doesn't Even Know Who Poilièvre Is So Tariffs Are A Certainty.

It will be 25%, likely across the board, not just on steel and aluminium this time.

The jackass thinks Gretzky is the next prime minister.

Trump: After The Next Four Years: The New James Buchanan.

Just wait and see.

Once The Liberals Have A New Leader It Becomes A 60-40% Election.

OUR job is to make sure that the CPC is the 60%.

Federal Liberal Leadership: They Need A Francophone Candidate. Otherwise...

They're done as dinner in an election.

Can You Say David Cameron?

LOL.

CPC: Pierre Needs To Be Careful What He Wishes For.

Here's my question for Pierre: has the leader and his strategists anticipated what the new Liberal PM will do to bring the NDP back into the fold? And does the Conservative Party already have a counter-plan to deal with this and blunt its political implications? The answer is No. Uh-oh. Interesting! If the Liberals do what I expect them to do there will be no chance of an election before October. How many of my fellow strategists can figure out what I'm talking about? Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock.

Joe Lost Me When He Pardoned Hunter.

That's it in a nutshell.

They Make Me Wish I Wasn't A Canadian.

The legion of fools seems to be endless in number. To see all of them down in Mar-a-Lago bowing and scraping before that asshole makes me wish I wasn't a Canadian. What some people won't do in search of personal or business gratification -- they will lower themselves to as low as is required to kiss at least that fucker's ring. Pathetic.

I'll give premiers a pass because they are trying to limit future economic damages coming from that dumbass. But the rest of them. No way. The Trump Canadian Sycophants.

Joe Is Out To Lunch.

“I think I would have beaten Trump, I could have beaten Trump.”

Well Joe, No. Stop being in LaLa Land. If the relatively new broom couldn't beat Trump, Biden sure couldn't have.

Dom Is Out...But Will There Be A Draft Dominic Movement?

LeBlanc says he's out but can inquiring minds get him to change his mind?  We'll see soon enough.

The Liberal Ads Continue. Will The New PM Quickly Call An Election?

I think so. Pierre will finally get his wish. 

Beauchemin: Rodriguez's Small Gift.

Next Monday, Rodriguez will officially announce that Beauchemin has withdrawn from the race and is now supporting Rodriguez. It's a small gift for Pablo, given that some of Beauchemin's organizers categorically refuse to also back Rodriguez. 

Pablo is clearly ahead in the race, but he is far from being the candidate of fifty-one percent of the Liberal caucus. The same goes for party members. Rodriguez still has a lot of work to do to win over the undecided. The question is whether another star candidate is coming and if so, Rodriguez will still have a lot of work to do to convince the undecided. If the answer is no, Rodriguez has a good chance of becoming the next leader. On the other hand, if a star candidate emerges, we could see a campaign led by someone other than Pablo. Therein lies the danger for Rodriguez's campaign. We'll see in the coming months. My conclusion is simple: unless another major candidate emerges, Pablo will be the next leader. 

We must recognize that the leadership of the Liberal Party is not very prestigious these days. The election campaign will be a three-way battle, not a two-way one. That's not exactly ideal for a party and a leader who want to form the next Quebec government. There's a long way to go. It's always possible, but I don't think it's very likely. And there you have it.

Beauchemin : Un petit cadeau pour Rodriguez.

Lundi prochain, Rodriguez annoncera officiellement que Beauchemin se retire de la course et rejoint Rodriguez. C'est un petit cadeau pour Pablo, étant donné que certains organisateurs de Beauchemin refusent catégoriquement de se rallier à Rodriguez.

Pablo est nettement en avance dans la course, mais il est loin d'être le candidat de cinquante et un pour cent du caucus libéral. Il en va de même pour les membres du parti. Rodriguez a encore beaucoup de travail à accomplir pour rallier les indécis. La question est de savoir s'il existe un autre candidat vedette à venir, et si c'est le cas, Rodriguez a encore beaucoup à faire pour convaincre les indécis. Si la réponse est non, Rodriguez a de bonnes chances de devenir le prochain chef. En revanche, si un candidat vedette apparaît, nous pourrions assister à une campagne menée par quelqu'un d'autre que Pablo. C'est là que réside le danger pour la campagne de Rodriguez. Nous le verrons dans les mois à venir. Ma conclusion est très simple : sans l'émergence d'un autre candidat d'envergure au Québec, Pablo sera le prochain chef. 

Il faut se rappeler que la direction du Parti libéral n'est pas très prestigieuse par les temps qui courent. La campagne électorale sera une bataille à trois et non à deux. Ce n'est pas exactement l'idéal pour un parti et un chef qui souhaitent former le prochain gouvernement au Québec. En effet, le chemin à parcourir est très long. C'est toujours possible, mais je ne crois pas que ce soit très probable. Et voilà.

God Bless Chrétien. Happy Birthday!

Please go over to WarrenKinsella.com and read Chrétien's excellent commentary on Trump and Canada. Thank you.

Now, that's a prime minister.

Clark Lacks Judgment And Is Incredibly Tone Deaf On Proper Leadership Political Strategy.

Clark thus far has come off as clueless, disingenuous and rusty, to use charitable qualifiers. She said she had never signed up as a CPC member even though she supported Charest in the leadership race. Then she kept digging the hole and actually had the chutzpah, and not in a good way, to challenge the Conservatives --  she dared them to produce her membership or her ballot. I don't know about you but aren't ballots secret and therefore not identifiable as to who cast that ballot? And you can guess what came next, the CPC produced a copy of her membership and then Byrne took off and rightly ran with it! Now, Clark says she misspoke. Uh-huh. Like she didn't recall having a CPC membership...

So, Clark hasn't even declared yet and she's already passing herself off as the reincarnation of John Turner. Not good, not at all. Herle, among others, said that she supposedly has the best leadership race team in place. Could of fooled me. More organizers who quite obviously aren't worth two shits...it has spread to a second pre-campaign but I digress. What were these people thinking or more precisely, not thinking?

I wrote previously on this blog that she would be smart enough to run towards Kinsella so that he could manage her war room. I viewed that as a lead pipe cynch but now, she has more than amply demonstrated that Warren is not part of her team. The mind quite simply boggles.

Clark better pick up that phone and practically beg Kinsella to get onboard. After this utter fiasco, only Warren has the political chops and guts to help dig her out of her own mess. Kinsella is a good Catholic and believes in the law of second chances and the grace of God. He probably can salvage a campaign that has already stumbled badly even before getting out of the box. So Christy, clue in fast and pick up that phone. Otherwise, your leadership ambitions are already a goner.

Somewhere out there, Freeland and Carney are practically rolling on the floor laughing. What a gift for their respective pre-campaigns. And by the by, expect them to attack her on her French, which seemingly she has done nothing about to perfect over the last decade.

Joly And So Many Others Will Quickly Drop Like Flies.

In short, they can't raise the $350K entrance fee. End of story.

UPDATE: Anand is also out.

UPDATE: MacKinnon is out.

UPDATE: Clark and Champagne are out.

Carney: The Mouse That Roared.

If you accept that there are 152-153 Liberal MPs in Parliament, Carney's initial take of 30 MPs isn't impressive. I think he will end up as the second coming of Ignatieff. Freeland likely will have more MPs than that, and perhaps Clark as well, given that she is supposed to have the best organization on the ground.   

Warren's Back On CBC!

 Yup, it's about the Trump asshole. May he drop dead, ASAP.

Re: Kinsella: My latest: the contenders.

Clark is hardly ideal but she is the best of a bad lot. She will have to work on her French if she wants to be taken seriously in Quebec. Everyone else is TrudeauTaintedTM and that means they get zero traction in the next election. Clark is their only shot.

As for Conservatives screaming that she is a Liberal, well as Warren pointed out, she's a Blue Liberal and a BC Liberal in no way resembles a Trudeau Deep Red Liberal. So that argument won't cut ice. They should go with Clark. She's their only realistic chance at saving the furniture. 

From All Of Canada To Trump.

Why don't you go fuck yourself?

With Love,

Canada

Carney's Advisors Aren't Worth Two Shits.

Either you're in or out. You don't contact the media and tell them you'll have something for them in a few days. This reeks of unseriousness and amateurism. Carney came off big time as the new Mr.DithersTM. What a disastrous way to start a leadership run. 

Handicap Time And Lay Of The Land.

So far, only one declared candidate. I expect Freeland, Carney, Clark and LeBlanc to also run. That being said, I see Freeland as the front runner with roughly a third of the party behind her. She's the Rodriguez of federal politics. Next comes Clark as the consummate outsider and professional. I expect her to be ahead of Carney, at least initially. She also can be far more representative as the candidate of the West than Freeland can. And then there's Dom who starts out mainly as the rep for Trudeau Liberals. But LeBlanc has crossover appeal and will pick up some steam. The question is how much and how fast? So, that's my initial lay of the land if all four give it a go.

Moron Trump: Maybe Canada And Greenland Can Pay For The Wall! What An Idiot He Is.

Can't believe that any sentient being could have voted once again for this dumbass.

Next Election: The ONLY Certainty.

Almost all CBC - Radio-Canada employees will be desperately rushing to the polls to vote Liberal!

Pierre's Massive Challenge: To Come Off As Caesar's Wife.

As you know, I don't advise the CPC or Pierre. But right now, IMHO, Pierre is on the wrong track. His attitude comes off as if he wanted an election yesterday. And that is a big mistake. Why? At least a plurality if not a majority of Canadians are all about political fairness: they want to see the new Liberal leader get his or her feet wet and his or her bearings in the House of Commons before the government is inevitably defeated. So...timing is everything: it's not Pierre or Jagmeet's appraisal of time that counts. It's not my appraisal either. What counts and will inevitably be the ballot question is this: did the opposition parties give the new Prime Minister enough time to make a good start at his or her job? Each voting Canadian will come to a conclusion about that and then they will vote accordingly.

Pierre has to stay determined to get to an election ASAP but he also needs to be somewhat detached from an inevitable result not necessarily on his timetable. Hence the reference to Caesar's wife. If the CPC and the other parties are seen as fair throughout this process, none of those parties will lose a seat or go down in their percentage of support in the polls. However, if the CPC comes off as having pulled the rug out from under the new PM, that will have a considerable negative effect in Eastern, Atlantic Canada and BC. To do that is to help the Liberals be even more competitive in the next election that they deserve to be. So, play it smart and cool Pierre. Otherwise, the CPC will very quickly come to regret adopting any other approach in Parliament.

I'm No Longer A Liberal But If I Was...I Would Want Clark.

Put succinctly, the main goal of Liberals must be to expand their seat base and only Clark can do that west of the Lakehead. That's it, in a nutshell.

This Will Be Fun To Watch.

I expect four candidates: Freeland, Carney, Clark and good-ole Dom.

Liberals: You Either Forget Or Don't Know K-I-N-S-E-L-L-A!!!

In short, Clark if she's smart, will go in a New York minute with Warren. And then the best war roomer in Canada will win it for her. This time, Kinsella won't end up with a Pupatello finish -- this time Warren will end up with a Wynne-style victory. You read it here first.

See MAGA, We Democrats Aren't Losers!

Unlike MOST of you.

To Quote LaMarsh...

Don't let that bastard stay on as leader. He knows perfectly well that the government will likely fall before October and then you'll be stuck with him in an election. That's probably his plan. Canadians deserve far better than a Liberal Party still led by Trudeau. Don't fall for it. 

At least you'll be led by a fresh face when you go into opposition! A small consolation I know, but better than nothing.

Trudeau: I Quit But You're Stuck With Me Anyway.

Nah, this guy doesn't have an ego as big as all outdoors. He'll resign as Liberal leader but still stay on as Prime Minister until a new leader is chosen...come on, is anyone really surprised?

He gets to represent Canada at the summits and enjoy all the privileges and perks on the taxpayer's dime until the very last minute. Typical Trudeau...

Warren: That Second Sky Is Where Trump Definitely Is Going.

I love that Coca-ColaTM sign!

If Trudeau Asks For Dissolution And An Election Simon Must Grant It.

Harper got his way twice (and Trudeau once) on prorogation and so will Trudeau on an election call. Since 1931 and the adoption of The Statute of Westminster by the British Parliament, a Governor General must follow the advice of a Prime Minister. That's it, that's all.

Freeland Ahead But For How Long?

Freeland is the current favourite of caucus but will that hold? Depends on whether Carney can catch fire. The establishment and monied interests want Carney. So, Freeland has her work cut out for her.

Carney Is Still A New Broom.

Thankfully for him, he backed away quickly from becoming the Trudeau-chaos Finance lackey. That was a smart move. If he wins, can he beat Poilièvre? Maybe but likely not. Pierre would have to blow it but good in the campaign and IMHO he's far too smart to do that.

Can You Say Clark-Kinsella?

Will it happen? Probably. 

House Republicans: Nothing Substantive For The Next Two Years!

Well, the majority will drop to one and that means no margin for error. So...each Republican Representative becomes an emperor. Lose one in a vote and you're done. How fitting. Naturally, passing laws implementing Trump's agenda wasn't important enough for Trump so he decided to reduce Republican power in the House. Great decision there, at least for Democrats. Too funny.

Genius Trump Strikes Again: Judges Cannot Be Disbarred.

You would think that MensaTrumpTM would already know this with his incredible familiarity with IMPEACHMENT...a legislative house can impeach and an upper house holds a trial and may convict but seldom does. Duh.

But there's hope: at least he still knows he's Donald J. Trump.

MAGA Means Always Doing What Trump Tells You To Do.

Get it straight for the start: You're no longer an elected Representative or Senator. From January 20th onwards, you do only whatever Trump tells you to do, or you get primaried, or worse. The MAGA dictatorship is about to commence. 

Liberal National Caucus To Meet On January 8th.

Well, you know who won't be there. So, shortly thereafter, election here we come!

More Liberal Ads: Trudeau Will Call A Surprise Election.

It doesn't take a genius to see where this is going: Trudeau won't prorogue since that would weaken his hold on the Liberal leadership. The party would expect an expeditious resignation and a leadership race which is not part of his game plan.

So, as the ad buys intensify, that can only mean one thing: a surprise election call in January. Trudeau is the only Liberal who believes he can win that election. Every other Liberal thinks he will lose. But here it comes! Trudeau, almost inevitably, will take all of them down with him. How fitting for those Liberals.

House Republicans: Otherwise Known as Trump Pussy.

Johnson is the new landslide Lyndon. 218 votes! What a rallying around the guy who is the most competent candidate. LOL. Not. I wonder if those two twerps will have to hightail it to Mar-a-Lago so they can properly lick Trump's ass. You know, when you do THE job, please at least do it properly.

Bunch of pathetic fools. 

Trudeau: If Caucus Wants Him OUT, They Better Push Harder Than They Ever Have Before.

Is Trudeau simply making it hard for caucus or does he intend not to go unless he's pushed? My sense of it is, at the very least, that he won't make it easy for the dissidents. I don't see him going unless and until most of cabinet finally turns against him. That's what it'll take. Total humiliation. Otherwise, don't hold your breath waiting for that walk in the snow.

Trudeau And The Liberals Are Still Running TV Ads.

Now, what does that mean? Is it just blowing smoke before the seemingly inevitable happens? Time will tell the tale. 

Don't Feel Sorry For Campbell, Not One Bit.

Let's get it straight from the get-go: I'm a progressive conservative and will die so. I happen to support the CPC. That's it. 

There was no way that I was going to stomach the Mulroney-Schreiber thing. Not for a second. And then Campbell came out with this: “An election is no time to discuss serious issues” Couple that with the fact that no serious person would immediately want to follow Mulroney as leader and voilà. So, the PCP did it to themselves and yours truly voted Chrétien.
