Cheney Speaks For Me.

Cheney and so many other Republicans have come out for Harris. That leaves only two questions: will W. be next and secondly, are they backing Harris because they're concerned about their place in history if they supported Trump in 2024?

The window is closing for Trump and he's losing states in the electoral college that were supposed to go his way. It's way beyond fun watching the human wrecking ball shoot off his trap repeatedly and each time he does, he loses more likely votes. Trump simply can't help himself and that's great for Harris and the Democrats. 

How sweet it is, as Gleason would say.

NDP Withdraws Supply And Confidence.

This is total bullshit. The NDP has put the Liberals on notice - - but on what exactly? The Liberals will have to proceed on a vote by vote basis picking up support from where they can and that means still more often than not from the NDP.

The polling and canvassing meant reading the Riot Act to the NDP. They don't want Jagmeet propping up Trudeau but they don't want an election either as the NDP likely would lose seats.

Translation: this is nothing more than feel good window dressing. When will Singh pull the plug? When or if they ever consistently pass the Liberals in the polls. Otherwise, much ado about nothing.

Pablo: McGraw is scrambling to make up for the lack of support for his candidacy.

McGraw goes out of her way to help her candidate. She talks about Coderre's disqualification because he still owes taxes to the Quebec tax authorities.  Since this is confidential information, can we expect the people involved at Revenu Québec to be fired? As in the case of the Hells Angels.

Obviously, this is compensation for the lack of support for Rodriguez within the Liberal caucus and among former ministers and MNAs.

Even funnier, Milliard questions the allegiance of the two candidates to Quebec, since they come from the federal arena. He is calling for a profession of faith in Quebec, in other words an allegiance to Quebec, first and foremost. What a great way to challenge the nationalist fibre of the two men from Ottawa.

And he is right to do so. Once again, there has been no transfer of powers to Quebec since Trudeau came to power in 2015. And zero questions or comments on the subject from these two federal Liberals.

Milliard is on the right track. Meanwhile, several provincial Liberals are still waiting for other star candidates to come forward before making a final decision.

Pablo : McGraw fait des pieds et des mains pour compenser le manque de soutien à sa candidature.

McGraw se met en quatre pour aider son candidat. Elle parle de la disqualification de Coderre parce qu'il doit encore des impôts au fisc québécois.  Comme il s'agit d'une information confidentielle, peut-on s'attendre à ce que les personnes impliquées à Revenu Québec soient congédiées ? Comme dans le cas des Hells Angels.

Évidemment, il s'agit d'une compensation pour le manque d'appui à Rodriguez au sein du caucus libéral et parmi les anciens ministres et députés.

Plus drôle encore, Milliard remet en question l'allégeance des deux candidats au Québec, puisqu'ils proviennent de l'arène fédérale. Il demande une profession de foi au Québec, c'est-à-dire une allégeance au Québec, d'abord et avant tout. Quelle belle façon de remettre en question la fibre nationaliste des deux hommes d'Ottawa.

Et il a raison de le faire. Encore une fois, il n'y a eu aucun transfert de pouvoirs au Québec depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de Trudeau en 2015. Et zéro questions ou commentaires sur le sujet de la part de ces deux libéraux fédéraux.

Milliard est sur la bonne voie. Pendant ce temps, plusieurs libéraux provinciaux attendent encore que d'autres candidats vedettes se manifestent avant de prendre une décision finale.
