The only quiz show I enjoyed more than that one was when Stephen Harper appeared on Reach for the Top, and was humiliated by a kid from a poorer school than his. And I only wish that Harper and O'Leary had appeared on a quiz show together, so they both could have looked like idiots... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-12397837067645100672017-01-21T08:34:40.926-05:002017-01-21T08:34:40.926-05:00hi BM...yes, you make a lot of good points, and it...hi BM...yes, you make a lot of good points, and it is stunning that anyone with a record like O'Leary could fool anyone into thinking that he's a good businessman. That whole Mattel affair bordered on fraud or misrepresentation. And had he not got away with that he'd be nowhere today. He is in fact just a poor man's Trump, a reality show host with a big mouth. And for some annoying reason a tacky ad where he offers to make you rich seems to follow me around everywhere. And if I ever bothered to click on it and find out more, I'm sure it would just be another scam. But don't worry the last person Quebecers are going to vote for is a cheap hustler who doesn't speak French, and is on record as saying he doesn't think speaking French is necessary. Bye bye 78 seats, bye bye O'Leary, bye bye Cons...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-12588577132625813472017-01-21T08:25:56.570-05:002017-01-21T08:25:56.570-05:00hi anon...yes you did miss something, but it's...hi anon...yes you did miss something, but it's my fault. I was so intent on having some fun, that I wasn't clear enough. The only reason I'm pulling for O'Leary is that at this time I think he is the leadership candidate that can do the Cons the most harm. I may be wrong, and if so I'll go back to cheering for Leitch. But I fear that her virulent racism could poison our country, so I'd much rather see the buffoon O'Leary blow the Cons out of the water. Of course, if all things fail, there's always Brad Trost... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-13752020333815810622017-01-20T21:17:23.204-05:002017-01-20T21:17:23.204-05:00Hi Simon,

And O'Leary has been confirmed, if anyone still doubted it, as an absolute asshole. The story about the poor kids really says it all.

Small beer. Somehow O'Leary although sued got away and Mattel took it all on the chin.<br /><br />Remember O'Leary Funds, launched in 2008 on the Exchange with fragrant Deep State Host Amanda Lang? Yes? Oh, yes, O'Leary funds, THE MOST FANTASTICAL thing ever invented. "You'd better believe it!" quoth the man hisself.<br /> <br />The same small brain crowd I heard today on a CBC Halifax Maritime Noon phone-in show saying thing like, "I guess a businessman would sort things out in Ottawa", subscribed to O'Leary Funds, the Dividend Dispenser, to the tune of $1.5 BILLION.<br /><br />Then, it was discovered the Fund Dividends were being paid out of the Fund itself. Naughty, Kevin, using capital to pay dividends. Illegal. The fund value continued to go down until it was worth only $800 M, as depositors got their money out of that Kevin shit show before it all hit the fan. You can google the details.<br /><br />Anyway, this self-obsessed knob, whose carnival huckster blowhard I'm Mr Wonderful show is English only, is out of luck in Quebec. He can't put on a fact-free boastful act in French to fool our compatriots, because he's unilingual. Scared to expose his weakness. And if you can't fool them out there with ridiculously self-serving oratory, you're just another Anglo ex-Canadian Yankee parachuted in from Boston with no hair and an ego whose translated ravings make no sense on the printed page. Whose TV visage is a contorted sneer of derision at the FOOLs. A winning attitude for sure.<br /><br />Exorcise General Malaise is his new motto, and would probably make a good barbecue sauce for kippers. I'm relying on French Canada to refute this buffoon if he becomes CPC leader, because he couldn't be assed to even try to speak French and is due no consideration whatsoever from them.<br />BMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-63011964718583265232017-01-20T00:48:43.939-05:002017-01-20T00:48:43.939-05:00Trudeau ran as a pipeline-supporting, free-trading...Trudeau ran as a pipeline-supporting, free-trading, Keynesian, social progressive, centrist. He expanded the pension and rolled it back to age 65 from 67. His child benefit cheque represented the single biggest drop in child poverty in history.<br />I am at the bottom rung of the middle class, so these changes had a huge effect on my life. I don't know what I would do if they were rolled back.

O'Leary is as big an asshole in real life as he is on tv.<br />What I find truly bizarre is that he took "guidance" from has been Mike Harris and Harper enabler Crooked Marjorie Lebreton. She's so crooked they'll have to screw her into the ground after she croaks. She lied like a thief to cover Harper's tracks and save herself during the Duffy scandal so as credibility goes, she's bankrupt. <br />So thank you Mike and Marj for helping to foist O'leary on us.
