First They Restructure Committees And Then...Comes The Poison Pill To Provoke A Fall Election.

Carney's Liberals are happier than a pig in shit. They have no doubt that Pierre will be around as CPC leader in the fall, and that fills them with glee, knowing that when they engineer the sudden need for an election, the opposition parties will be unable to stop it.

This Prime Minister doesn't want a bare majority -- he wants one in Mulroney territory, and polls show that the Liberals can get it this fall without breaking a sweat. So...the manufactured election will do two things: give Carney a huge majority and, in addition, rid the Conservatives of our leader. No one in this party will want Pierre to stick around after that, having lost by that point two elections in a row. You know what they say about happy but limited silver linings! 

 

Fréchette : Le parcours de Campbell est-il instructif ?

La dernière fois qu’une femme a pris la tête du gouvernement fédéral, c’était en 1993, lorsque Kim Campbell est devenue Première ministre. Au moment de son accession au pouvoir, le Parti progressiste-conservateur recueillait environ 12 % des intentions de vote. L’ère Mulroney avait causé de graves dommages. 

Après avoir été élue à la tête du parti, Campbell a rapidement gagné 7 points, avec un taux de popularité supérieur à 40 %. De plus, elle a laissé Jean Chrétien loin derrière elle, avec un taux d’approbation de 51 %. Elle devançait ainsi largement Chrétien, qui n’enregistrait que 31 % dans les sondages. 

Malgré sa popularité, Campbell n’a finalement pas réussi à traduire son soutien personnel en gains pour son gouvernement. Les libéraux ont pris la tête au cours de l’été, dépassant le PPC avec 40 %, soit une avance de 4 points.

À l'automne et pendant la campagne électorale, cet écart s'est creusé, le PLC formant un gouvernement majoritaire avec 42 % des voix, contre 16 % pour le PPC. Ce dernier, qui détenait auparavant un gouvernement majoritaire de 169 sièges, s'est retrouvé réduit à 2 sièges après les élections. En bref, Jean Charest et Elsie Wayne.

La leçon à en tirer est la suivante : même avec une forte popularité personnelle, rien ne garantit que ce soutien individuel sera à l'avantage de ton parti. Fréchette pourrait devoir faire face à ce genre de scénario, s'il venait à se produire lors des prochaines élections.

Armed Attack at the Washington DC Hilton.

Frankly, I didn't think that Trump had it in him: he behaved with class and moderation when speaking to the press once back at the White House. Three times. Simply incredible. Trump must have been born under a lucky star.

White House Correspondents' Dinner: Did the Gunman have a Plastic Gun?

Wow.

Carney's Canada-U.S. Economic Relations Advisory Committee.

This is pure gold for Carney. It reeks of bipartisanship, much to PP's dismay. Among its members are Charest, O'Toole and Raitt, formerly associated with our party, in one case nominally. 

And there's more: the unintentional but obvious subtext goes in two exquisite directions. It gives the middle finger to Harper and Poilièvre in spades and, even more deliciously, is an unanticipated but apparent vote of non-confidence in Pierre's leadership. So, what else is new?!

Léger : PQ 31%, PLQ 28%, CAQ 17%, PCQ 14% et QS 8%.

Le message suivant, adressé à Charles Milliard, n’a aucun lien avec le sondage Léger mentionné en titre. Bref, Charles, tu me mets vraiment en joli tabarnak ! Tout d’abord, tu dois comprendre deux choses : tu es le chef et c’est à tes députés de suivre la ligne du parti et les directives de ton cabinet. Voilà le premier point. Ce n’est pas ton rôle d’être en consultation constante avec ton caucus ni de céder à ses demandes sur les grands enjeux qui préoccupent le Québec et la population majoritaire. L’autre question concerne le niveau d’engagement actif non seulement dans la défense de la langue française, mais aussi dans son renforcement par le biais de nouvelles politiques linguistiques jugées essentielles par la grande majorité des Québécois. En d’autres termes, promouvoir le français sans en assurer le progrès et son expansion à ce niveau est inacceptable pour la plupart des électeurs francophones, qui sont les concitoyens des anglophones et des allophones. Le niveau d’engagement du PLQ doit, à tout le moins, égaler celui de la CAQ pour être crédible en tant qu’option politique sérieuse. Et j’irais même plus loin : pour remporter les prochaines élections, nous, au Parti libéral, devrons surpasser la CAQ sur la question du français, de sa protection et de son épanouissement. C’est ce qui sera en jeu lors de la prochaine campagne électorale.

Permettez-moi également de te rappeler que ce n’est pas le rôle d’un caucus parlementaire de dicter la ligne politique du parti ou la position du chef sur une question qui fait la une de l’actualité ou qui se révèle prioritaire pour le Québec à un moment donné. Si l’un de nos députés n’est pas en mesure de se rallier à la ligne politique du parti et de son chef, eh bien, il appartiendra à toi de trouver un nouveau candidat dans cette circonscription. Prends ta place, sans t'affirmer avec la timidité d’un nouveau-né. Comme on dit en anglais : this is big picture stuff, c’est une question d’ensemble, et si le chef et ses députés ne parviennent pas à rassurer le public sur leur priorité absolue qui est le français et les enjeux qui y sont liés, nous n’aurons aucune chance de former le prochain gouvernement. Les Québécois recherchent un champion. Jusqu’à présent, la population ne te considère pas comme le choix naturel. Câlice, le temps presse. Agis avant qu’il ne soit bien trop tard pour le parti. Le mois d’octobre approche à grands pas.

POILIÈVRE OUT!: Nanos Numbers State The Obvious.

Unless you've been unconscious over the last year, none of this should come as a surprise to you. The latest polls reveal one thing: this polling trend, where the CPC is down, is not recoverable for the party. Pierre is nothing more than a milestone around our necks, and as long as he stays as leader, the lower our polling numbers will go.

Nanos has the Liberals first with 46 percent, a whopping fourteen-point lead over the Conservatives. FOURTEEN points! The NDP number is rising in the wake of their leadership race and now stands at 12 percent, with the BQ polling 5 percent and the GP one point behind. 

It doesn't take a genius to draw your own conclusion. Here's mine: the LPC is holding steady while the New Democrats rise and the CPC stagnates in the low thirties. Couple that with the latest rumour coming out of Ottawa that a polling firm predicts the Conservatives could lose as many as fifty seats if an election were held today. 

So, I remind you again that it's either his ass or most of yours. Pick a lane now and come out publicly against the leader if you want this party to win the next election. Pierre is deliberately hanging on and doesn't give a shit what any of you think. Act accordingly. Dump him now.

Carney: What A Loser.

He won't even get off his ass to reply in QP and admit that he was wrong. How many times will it take before he honours us with an answer? This guy is accountable to no one in his own mind. And of course, the countless dolts will lap it all up and find a million reasons to make excuses for his behaviour. What a fucking joke but sadly, the joke is on all of us.

POILIÈVRE OUT!: We've Made A Beachhead!

Angus Reid made my day: we are now at thirty percent of past CPC voters who want Pierre out. When it comes to the general public, sixty percent view him unfavourably while forty-five percent blame him for pushing people away [out] of his party. And those are the people who vote. Man, this is great. 

Time is Pierre's most powerful enemy. It will continue to move the numbers against his leadership. We will get him out. It's only a matter of a few months. Each floor-crosser was a vote of non-confidence in the leader. Let's wait and see if there will be any more.

58% of past CPC voters stand by Poilievre’s long-term leadership, but increasing numbers say he should go - Angus Reid Institute

POILIÈVRE OUT!: Now You Know Why Only A Handful Of CPC MPs Defended Pierre.

Most of the caucus is angry and frustrated. What party in its right mind would keep a leader who couldn't even win his own seat, a seat he held for TWENTY years? The writing is already on the wall. This will play out over the next three to four months, and in the end, Pierre will be gone. It will most resemble the playbook used against Trudeau: one MP, then a trickle, followed by a half-dozen and finally one-third to one-half of caucus. Once we hit that mark, no one will be able to save Pierre's leadership. He'll be done as dinner. Hopefully, by then, he'll have put his ego in check and have the decency and humility to just go. But I won't be holding my breath waiting for him to leave. So, keep pushing and with each passing week, push harder!

PLQ : Sondage Pallas.

Ah, on voit ici se dessiner le début d'une tendance où le PLQ est en tête, mais cette fois avec trois points d’avance sur le PQ. Ce dernier n’obtient que 29 % des intentions de vote. Le PCQ et la CAQ sont au coude à coude à 14 %, tandis que QS est à la traîne avec 11 %.

Avant tout, il est dans la nature même des libéraux de prendre le pouvoir, quel qu’en soit le coût ou l’impact préalable sur leur coalition. Traduction : ce n’est qu’une question de temps avant que Milliard ne se retourne contre les communautés anglophones et culturelles. Peu importe si les anglos sont déjà en révolte au sein du parti, la réplique dans la langue de Shakespeare sera « so what ». 

S'il doit se contorsionner comme un bretzel pour remporter les prochaines élections, je peux vous assurer que Milliard n'y verra que du positif. Après tout, les membres minoritaires de la coalition du PLQ sont déjà pris pour acquis et, en substance, tenus en otage. Ils n'ont nulle part où aller. En bref, ils feront partie de ceux qui subiront des dommages collatéraux à la suite de la prochaine campagne électorale.

POILIÈVRE OUT!: CPC Supporters Will Start Lying To Pollsters.

Act 3

This will be the first pressure tactic used by dissident Conservatives to put pressure on Pierre to go: they will begin deliberately lying to pollsters, telling them that they intend to vote Liberal in the next election to further inflate Liberal gains in the polls. Once CPC numbers reach a negative tipping point, dissidents will have all the ammunition they need to demand that the Reform Act be dusted off.

 

POILIÈVRE OUT!: Pierre Blows The "Very Badly Educated" in Economics Schtick.

Act 2

I can picture Katy rolling her eyes: he just doesn't get it. Pierre should know by now that people are always on the lookout for a reason to dismiss both the leader and his argument, and he played right into that Liberal narrative. First off, in Comm 101, you acknowledge the Prime Minister's degrees from Harvard and Oxford. Then you explain how he's a Keynesian, and only then do you put your main arguments forward while emphasizing at the same time what Austrian economic theory professes and why it is correct in its analysis of the digitization of money and the relationship to increased inflation via what is commonly but erroneously termed "money printing." Finally, you make the case that there's a direct causal relationship between Keynesianism and beyond core inflation historical statistics. 

I imagine there's no hope that Pierrre will ever get this right...

POILIÈVRE OUT! War Room Is Now Live.

Act 1

Once again, I'm on a mission, this time to carry the water for the POILIÈVRE OUT! War Room. My first message is for dissident CPC MPs still sitting in caucus. I suggest you use a two-prong strategy: begin by expressing your views and dissatisfaction with the leader, and see how that goes over in the room. If that isn't sufficient to influence other MPs, then announce that as of "X" date, you will be sitting as an independent.

I urge all of you to put the party first and not cross to the Liberals. We will need each and every one of you to help us rebuild this party in the wake of the next election. You know the Liberals, they want Pierre right where he is so that they can get a huge majority in a snap election, which they'll call this fall. Please don't play into their hands. 

Poilièvre: Some People Have No Honour.

Pierre doesn't give a shit about the party, the electoral prospects of his MPs or anything else. All he cares about is keeping his sorry ass in the leader's chair. Pierre is nothing other than ballot box poison: most people don't like him and wouldn't vote for the CPC with a gun pointed at their head as long as this pathetic guy leads our party.

He's all about himself and couldn't care less how many MPs will lose their seats in the fall election. But I've got news for him: the pause in floor-crossers is about to accelerate again, given that he refuses to resign. Nobody with a functioning brain wants this bozo still leading the party when we go to an election. 

His leadership will inevitably be destroyed by a hundred cuts. It will take weeks, but there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be gone sooner rather than later. The catalyst will be the polls, where I expect to see the party in free-fall, given his self-centred, selfish obstinacy to stay in the job.

You think the NDP is going nowhere fast. That's nothing compared to where this party is headed if he stays as leader. Pierre may not think so, but it's only a matter of when he'll finally be forced out by caucus. And between now and then, all of you can count on me to stay on the attack. I won't rest until he's gone, politically speaking. 

For those who don't know, my record is pretty good. Only failed against Harper. Got all the other ones. I like those odds!

Push Poilièvre Out Now!

4:46 A.M. - This is a first for me. I literally went to bed seething, and you can imagine how many hours of sleep I've had tonight. About three. For the last hour, I've been tossing and turning, and that's about it.

To no one's surprise, it did not take long for me to conclude that Poilièvre must be removed as leader, and it has to happen now. He's already on the internet and sending bullshit e-mails to deflect responsibility for this humiliation on anyone other than himself. Typical Pierre. He hasn't got the guts to do the honourable and obvious thing: RESIGN. And so that job will fall to what remains of our caucus, those who have not yet spoken loud and clear with their feet.

Pierre is nothing more than a losing appendage, a poor excuse for a leader and Canadians in most parts of Canada want nothing further to do with him. That was made crystal clear on election night when he blew his own riding of Carleton. Put another way, they kicked him to the curb after TWENTY years. Voters finally had enough. We should have gotten rid of him politically then and there, but no, we preferred to make excuses for this guy and allow him to desperately hang on, which he did. He sticks to this leadership like glue because, in his heart of hearts, he knows that prospects are likely dim in the private sector should he go voluntarily or be shown the door by his own MPs. But none of that is our problem. It's his.

From this point, this isn't really about him. It's about us and whether we will continue to make excuses for this dud of a leader -- you know, all that bullshit about moral victories and history will judge. Total garbage that no sane person would buy unless they were a willing supplicant to a political loser. Now, it's about the party and where we're heading. Either he goes or most of our MPs will in the fall election. In essence, the choice has already been made for us. It's up to MPs to do what must be done to give us a fighting chance in the next election. 

The tea leaves are obvious for all to see: another huge stretch on the opposition benches with no chance of forming government, none whatsoever, as long as Pierre remains leader. Done and dusted. He needs to go now, and if he won't voluntarily resign, then it's our MPs' job to remove him. (Worked out just great for the Liberals.) In short, take a hint or be prepared to serve another five years as a hobbled and weakened rump on the opposition benches. The power now is quite literally in your hands. Make the most of it or forget forming a government for the better part of the next decade. His leadership needs to end right now, or a lot of your jobs will when Carney pulls the plug. It's either HIS ass or most of yours.

Terrebonne: The Morons In The OLO Just Gave This Riding To Carney...

How many times did I tell our hopeless leader that the Liberals would win in Terrebonne if the CPC ran a candidate in that riding? And of course, our idiots paid no attention, and now the CPC vote delivered the riding to the Carney Liberals.

So, resign now, you stupid idiot and take your useless fucks in the OLO with you. If this guy stays in his job, we will richly deserve to lose at least forty seats to the Liberals in the general coming this fall. 

Christine Fréchette.

Un bon discours.

Un homme d'état, un vrai chef. Bonne retraite !

PLQ : Le parti a le vent dans les voiles.

Le sondage Léger révèle que le PLQ devance légèrement le PQ d’un point de pourcentage. Les libéraux recueillent 33 % des intentions de vote. Cela ne reflète pas une tendance, mais c’est un bon début.

Cependant, le véritable problème du PQ, c’est son chef et son entêtement concernant un référendum sur la souveraineté. Soixante-six pour cent des personnes interrogées ont une opinion favorable ou neutre du chef du PQ. Mais regardez le chiffre de Milliard : il s’élève à quatre-vingt-deux pour cent !  

L'électorat québécois passe de la neutralité à une opinion positive, ce n'est pas le cas pour PSPP. En substance, la voie est libre pour conquérir les électeurs « de souche ». Mais avant de franchir ce pas, Milliard devra inévitablement trahir les anglophones et les communautés ethniques s'il veut devenir premier ministre. Ces deux groupes sont une valeur sûre. Ils n'auront d'autre choix que de voter pour le PLQ quoi qu'il arrive. 

Comme l’a dit Lord Acton : « Le pouvoir absolu corrompt absolument », et c’est là la formule magique des libéraux. Le PLQ suivra la voie pour accéder au pouvoir. C’est une certitude. La question de la souveraineté sera l’épée de Damoclès qui assurera la victoire des libéraux. Le PLQ a déjà senti l’odeur du pouvoir dans l’air et fera tout ce qui est nécessaire pour presque garantir son accession au pouvoir lors des prochaines élections.

Carney's Speech.

It was OK to good if you like that kind of thing. No one does soft-soap better than this Prime Minister. 

A Message For Conservative Party MPs.

There are press reports circulating that another ten CPC MPs are considering crossing the floor to sit as Liberals. With respect, and understanding your motives, I urge all of you to stay put and send your message of concern loud and clear to the leader.

It's imperative that you stick around because we need all of our top talent across the moderate Conservative spectrum to put this party back together and win the next election, either under an interim leader who resonates with moderates, centrists and conservatives, or preferably, under a new leader.

We're Conservatives for a reason and we're the only credible alternative to this government. We need all of you to make things happen and change political history in this country. Please remain united in caucus and put your best foot forward in the interest of our country, party and individual Canadians. 

May God Bless the Conservative Party of Canada. 

Pierre, Resign Already.

I don't know about you, but I've finally had enough. It's high time for the leader to quit. We need to be heading into the highly likely November election with at least an interim leader to lessen the hemorrhaging of seats we'll experience if Pierre stays on as leader. 

Perhaps most of you are prepared to lose twenty to thirty fucking seats in that election, but I'm not. So, please, just leave and be quick about it.

Trump: Twenty-fifth Amendment Time!

Trump is so out of it that he revealed classified information that "hundreds" of military personnel took part in the rescue of the military pilot in Iran. He previously also announced publicly that a Member of Congress was dying. That's it, folks. He needs to go now.

And just for fun: if Trump really wants to find "the leaker" simply tell him to turn to his left and voilà. There goes another one.

The Iran War: That Stupid Fuck POS Is Certifiable.

The losses in planes and helicopters are far greater than the Trump Administration has made public. The United States is already losing this war. Incredible. Watch this moron bring in the draft, and America will still lose the war. And to lose to such a horrible regime like Iran. The ultimate disgrace for the United States and those brave and dutiful service people in uniform. May God protect those heroic patriots. This administration will be solely responsible for their deaths and injuries.

Charles Milliard : le prochain premier ministre du Québec.

Il semble que je sois le premier à annoncer que Charles Milliard sera le prochain premier ministre. À mon sens, les dés sont déjà jetés et la situation est tout à fait claire : les élections d’octobre prochain ne seront pas seulement un référendum sur la CAQ, mais aussi sur le PQ et son chef. Et dans ces circonstances, la voie sera ouverte pour que le PLQ puisse gagner avec un gouvernement majoritaire.

Le problème crucial pour le PQ, c’est son obstination, particulièrement l’entêtement de son chef qui veut tenir un référendum sur la souveraineté dès son premier mandat, alors qu’au moins 70 % de la population ne veut rien savoir de cette option. Pour eux, les vieilles querelles entre souverainistes et fédéralistes ont fait leur temps depuis plusieurs années. PSPP ne semble pas avoir la capacité intellectuelle de le comprendre. Pire encore, il sermonne les Québécois à la manière de Harper et de Poilièvre, ce qui aura un effet dévastateur sur les intentions de vote qui, autrefois, étaient non seulement ouvertes à un gouvernement du PQ, mais même fortement disposées à cette éventualité. Ce n’est plus le cas.

De plus, regardons les sondages : je vous rappelle que lorsque Pablo Rodriguez était chef du PLQ, les libéraux avaient réussi à faire une première brèche dans la domination du PQ : ils se situaient à 29 %, le PQ en avance avec une marge de seulement 2 %. Rodriguez était sur la bonne voie, mais à la suite des scandales, le parti s’est retrouvé en baisse de 9 %, le PQ menant avec une marge de 15 %. 

Entre-temps, le PQ a perdu son avance et le parti est désormais au coude à coude avec le PLQ dans un sondage Léger. D’autres sondages situent l’avance du PQ à moins de deux chiffres. Tout cela pour dire que la dynamique des libéraux continuera de prendre du terrain dans les sondages jusqu’en octobre prochain. En effet, Milliard ne sera que partiellement responsable le jour où les libéraux gagneront les prochaines élections. Ce sera surtout PSPP qui fera perdre les élections. Son entêtement et son ton moralisateur, combinés à sa position sur la souveraineté, contribueront à renforcer l’avance des libéraux dans les sondages. En bref, le PLQ l’emportera dans des régions où, jusqu’à présent, ses chiffres dans les sondages étaient négligeables. 

Quelle ironie de voir PSPP devenir le prochain PP,  mal-aimé non seulement pour sa personnalité et son entêtement, mais aussi pour sa volonté de presque forcer les Québécois à adhérer à un projet qui, semble-t-il, ne les intéresse absolument pas. À mon avis, le soir des élections, Milliard, de son for intérieur, devra remercier PSPP du fond du cœur pour cette merveilleuse et largement inattendue soirée électorale en faveur du Parti libéral du Québec.

Why Double Non-Confidence In Pierre's Leadership Is Already On The Table.

In short, Spark Advocacy. This is a large poll of four thousand potential voters. It shows the Liberals with a whopping sixteen-point lead: 46 percent, CPC: 30 percent, the NDP: 11 percent, with the BQ trailing at 5 percent. This is a huge vote of non-confidence in the CPC leader and his front bench. Put another way, likely voters are now finally sealing the deal on Pierre's leadership. This poll couldn't come at a worse time for him, given the fact that the Liberals could win at least two of the byelections being held on April 13th.

Bruce Anderson sums things up regarding the poll here:

Liberals ahead by 16; Approval of Carney government hits 68%

If the Liberals take two of the three byelections, they will have a bare majority, with the speaker potentially losing his job in favour of an opposition member to further cushion that majority. This scenario actually increases the chances of a fall election: Carney will want a formal mandate from voters with an appropriate translation in seats. Imagine the size of the majority that the Liberals could get in a fall election. Think Mulroney territory. 

And if all of that wasn't enough to undermine the level of credibility that Pierre still has in caucus, there are rumblings that several more CPC MPs are going to jump ship post April 13th, using a different strategy: they will show their disapproval of Poilièvre's contuinued leadership by sitting as Independents, thereby sending a strong message to caucus that now is the time to dustoff the Reform Act and vacate the leadership, before Carney can move to an election, which could be held in November, right after the Quebec election. So, interesting times ahead with yours truly remaining skeptical that CPC MPs will really have the guts to put the Reform Act in play. I'll believe it when I see it, but the main point here is that Pierre's leadership becomes untenable right after those byelections. He should go then, but he won't. As for what happens after that, the decision largely rests with the CPC caucus. Leaders are supposed to put party first, but in the cold reality of political self-interest, they usually don't. Expect Pierre to be no different. Remember that, in the Quebec provincial context, Rodriguez's first instinct was to hold on. Unfortunately for him, his caucus had other ideas, and so he resigned in the end. In essence, that was the only realistic and honourable option open to him. 

Is Disbarment In Her Future?

You bet it is! I'm going to enjoy this.
