Carney Shows His True Colours And Likely Voters Are Busting Down Doors To Support That Cynicism.

What a pathetic joke. Carney has once again shown his real political inclination: he, like every other living and breathing federal Liberal, is only about power, getting and holding on to it by using every trick in the book. Hence, the byelections in University-Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne will take place on April 13.

The party of no principles has reached a new low by recruiting a former Ontario NDP deputy leader, Doly Begum, as their candidate in Scarborough Southwest. Some people are calling this turn of events shocking. Not me. I know exactly who the federal Liberals are: willing to send Mom and Dad down the river just to stay in power. Naked political ambition is all they think about. Typically Liberal.

So here are the Liberal plans: they will put unprecedented resources into Terrebonne, knowing that if they take that riding, they will have secured a majority, provided that the next speaker is not a Liberal. Terrebonne will be a referendum on Carney and Blanchet. Quebecers will decide whether the Liberals get a majority. The party that turns out its vote best will win. My money is on the Bloc. In addition, if Outhouse is worth his salt, he'll convince Poilièvre not to run a candidate in the riding, thereby increasing the chances that the Liberals won't win. You know what they say: the enemy of my enemy is at minimum a temporary ally. 

If the LPC lose Terrebonne, they will pick up the pace to try and get more Conservative floorcrossers. And this time, they will go after former CPC cabinet ministers. In short, they will do an Emerson, offer it to anyone who agrees to sit as a Liberal. 

Finally, if neither of these options bears fruit, they will create the circumstances that lead to a fall election. It could be a poison pill or simply a call on Canadians to give the Liberals a majority. 

A three-pronged strategy to get that majority. Carney won't give up until he controls the Commons. And so far, few voters are prepared to storm Parliament Hill to prevent it.
