Karen, What A Great Loss.

Carpenters - Hurting Each Other - Restored/Remastered HD HQ Audio Remix

Poilièvre Is A CPC Slow-Motion Train Wreck.

So, the leadership "review" will come at the convention in January, and ninety-five percent of the trained seals will vote to keep this guy as leader. Then, three months later, we will go into a not-so-surprise election and the Liberals will wipe the floor with Pierre and his acolytes. 

The CPC is the only party that lives for and will do absolutely everything possible to lose in every election. This next one will deliver a majority to Carney and his dolts. And the only person who'll be surprised is some guy named Pierre, along with SaintByrneTM, of course.

Pablo l'emporte !

Il faut beaucoup de courage pour assumer ce rôle de chef du Parti Libéral du Québec. Nous devons, à tout le moins, reconnaître le mérite de Pablo à cet égard. Un grand défi l'attend.

What Some People Won't Do To Stay Out Of Jail...

Boom. At the very least, a new Middle East war. 

Glad My Name Isn't Poilièvre!

The Fall Of Pierre Poilievre

Like I said, Barber's Adagio for Strings. CPC Funeral music for the next election...

Glad My Name Isn't Musk.

Enough said.

Proudly Pro-Gould I Remain.

Carney is such a fucking hypocrite. Gould dared to stand up to him legitimately in the leadership race, and now he holds that against her. He better not try to wave off Karina.

I always go out of my way to tear down female and male politicians that I don't think are worth two-shits. True to myself, I also try to do the same regarding politicians who are clearly stars.

Gould and I aren't in the same party, but Karina is a brilliant star. For Carney to deliberately underutilize her immense talents is way beyond despicable. Maybe Mark needs to have an eye-opening conversation with Diana, among others. Women, take notice.

How To LOSE Elections!

Let's see...Harper didn't listen to me. Scheer didn't, O'Toole and Poilièvre didn't. Neither did Trudeau.

Is it just me, or is there a pattern there? LOL.

La bataille des sondages : Blackburn est satisfait, Rodriguez et Milliard s'y opposent.

Blackburn est un organisateur né, et cela se voit sur le terrain. Lorsque nous voyons les autres candidats en mode protestation, nous savons que l'équipe de Blackburn a réussi un coup de maître. Dès le début, j'ai pensé que Rodriguez ne parviendrait pas à faire de percées significatives dans les régions. Le public avait une opinion positive de Pablo, mais parmi les membres du parti, l'effet persuasif était plutôt mitigé. Rodriguez bénéficie du soutien de la moitié du caucus, mais seulement d'environ un tiers des adhérents du parti.

Un sondage Mainstreet a été commandé par Blackburn, mais sans aucune indication que l'équipe de Blackburn en était à l'origine. Cela semble enfreindre une règle non écrite du parti. Cependant, le parti a officieusement indiqué qu'il ne prendrait aucune mesure ni n'imposerait aucune sanction à l'encontre de Blackburn. Comme le dit le célèbre proverbe anglais : « En amour et à la guerre, tous les coups sont permis ! »

Mais pour commenter de manière crédible et juste, il faut se demander où et quelles sont les données ? Aujourd'hui, Blackburn a non seulement le devoir, mais aussi l'obligation de rendre ces chiffres publics.

La CAQ doit se débarrasser de Legault.

Il est amusant de voir Legault insister sur le fait qu'il ne va nulle part. Mais en réalité, Legault est le prochain Trudeau. La CAQ a deux choix : soit se départir de son chef, soit assister à l'effondrement du parti. C'est aussi simple que cela. Les députés doivent prendre en main l'avenir du parti, sinon ils s'engageront sur la voie de la destruction, où le parti risque de remporter moins de dix sièges lors des prochaines élections.

Pour la CAQ, le pire scénario électoral, sous la direction d'un nouveau chef, serait de voir une course à trois. Ce serait bien mieux que ce qui l'attend aux prochaines élections avec Legault comme chef et premier ministre. 

Il est clair que Legault fait passer ses intérêts personnels avant ceux du parti. Nous verrons si le caucus parlementaire de la CAQ est d'accord lorsque l'Assemblée nationale reprendra sa prochaine session.

Pablo ne se présentera pas dans l'Estrie.

Il est déjà clair que Rodriguez ne se présentera pas dans l'Estrie, malgré ses liens familiaux. Ce n'est pas un homme des régions. Idéalement, Tanguay devrait être persuadé de prendre sa retraite pour le bien du parti afin de permettre à Pablo de se présenter dans LaFontaine. À défaut, son deuxième scénario préféré serait probablement la circonscription d'Anjou-Louis-Riel.

L'heure des grandes décisions.

McParland: Fair And Reasonable But...

I'm largely in agreement with what McParland writes in The National Post. However, I have a question: Do all of you know what it is? Byrne is the litmus test as to whether the leader's mindset is genuinely focused on substantial reform, both in the way caucus does things and how the leader operates in his office. My contention is that the leader is gaslighting us and has absolutely no intention of modifying the status quo in the OLO, or how he approaches retail politics. So, given that assessment, I want the leader out yesterday.

For its part, caucus has clearly telegraphed that they will not lift a finger to turf him, so I say fine. When the snap election comes, far sooner than conventional wisdom expects, the Carney Liberals will finally get a majority, and we will come off as we usually do: a bunch of naive, foolish, compliant losers who couldn't win an election even with God's help.

The best part of McParland's piece is this: As far as Pierre Poilievre is concerned, there’s nothing to decide. “We had the biggest vote count in our party’s history, the biggest increase in our party’s history, the biggest vote share since 1988, and we’re going to continue to work to get over the finish line,” he replied when asked. That same argument is on offer from other Conservatives keen on moving past the vote that left them once again in second place. [emphasis added.]

That argument is bullshit: Mulroney, a Progressive Conservative, was returned to office with a reduced majority. This genius did not win government, much less a minority. A total rank amateur with no retail politics skills did that. Not some delusional, prideful guy called Pierre. In short, when the leadership vote comes, Poilièvre needs to be given his walking papers. However, caucus foolishly agreed to a review vote in the spring. That will allow the Liberals to go to the polls this fall and win a majority. Oh well, Conservatives shooting themselves in the head once again. What else is new? 

Stating The Obvious: One Of Them Is About To Have A Fatal Accident.

Inevitably, this won't end well for one of them. Coming soon.

Marc Garneau, RIP.

I had the immense honour and privilege to meet Marc during my ten years as a Liberal party member. I never met more of a gentleman than Marc. Later, I was fortunate enough to be among those who supported his leadership run.

Marc always gave the best of himself, and his daily goal was to do all he possibly could for his country and its people. What a fine public servant.

To his family and all those who loved him and to his many friends, I extend my deepest sympathy for your enormous loss. What a wonderful, warm human being. He will be greatly missed, and the example he set for his fellow parliamentarians will hopefully help guide future parliamentarians when they're elected to office.

Marc is once again on a rendezvous in the sky. He will do us proud this time, as he always has.

À la prochaine, Marc.

Ford: For Anyone Who Happens To Already Be A Moron.

What a joke, arguing that Ford is like Trump. Ford leads a right-of-center, moderate, middle-of-the-road government called Progressive Conservative. That's why the Liberal boomers have no hesitation in voting PC in Ontario. 

Ford doesn't talk stupidity like Pierre does: Ford doesn't want to eliminate the CBC, or go on an anti-woke crusade, or abolish foreign aid when people are literally starving far more in those countries than in Canada. We have food insecurity in this country, but not starvation or famine. Ford doesn't buy Poilièvre's bullshit -- that's why Ford keeps winning while Pierre keeps losing. Carney thanks God every day for letting Pierre be our leader. God could never be kinder to Liberals than that. Carney wants Pierre in the House as fast as is humanly possible so the CPC can lose again during a snap surprise election. While we get depressed, at least Ford and Kory will get a well-deserved good laugh when we blow it yet again.
