The nice guy part went down the toilet, literally, the other day. When he was seen on tape cackling with glee at the thought of forcing Justin Trudeau to move into an outhouse.
Which was weird and disgusting, but did make only too clear why old Outhouse must NEVER be prime minister. Not when he has no class.
And not when he can't restrain himself or his ugly Cons.
Sometimes when the sun shines, and it almost feels like Spring, I can feel the optimism in the air. The feeling that we have finally turned the corner in the war on Covid-19.
There are fewer Covid patients in our ICUs. The number of deaths is going down. The number of vaccinated Canadians is steadily growing.
But I also know that all kinds of variants are spreading like wildfire.
And that while many of us have been damaged by the pandemic, in one way or the other.
For most pandemic weary Canadians it's something to celebrate.
The approval of the AstraZeneca vaccine, and the impending arrival of yet another.
On the heels of Health Canada’s authorization of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, the Johnson & Johnson shot could join the country’s arsenal within weeks, says Health Canada's Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Supriya Sharma.
It's like a light at the end of a long dark tunnel.
Unless of course you're Outhouse O'Toole and his Cons, and you can't look and sound more disappointed...
I can only imagine how Outhouse O'Toole must have reacted after learning that Health Canada had approved the AstraZeneca vaccine
But it couldn't have been pretty, even with all that lipstick on to try to make him look like a moderate.
He was hoping to use the vaccine shortage issue to destroy Justin Trudeau, so he must be soooooo disappointed.
And to make matters worse, he's going to have to use some anti-kook vaccine to inoculate his own supporters.
Erin O'Toole has only been Con leader for six months, but already he's crawling through the gutter, and drowning in his own excrement.
He lies all the time, just like Andrew Scheer did before him.
And his hatred for Justin Trudeau is so toxic he refuses to condemn those who would encourage the sickos of this world to kill him.
I still remember how happy I was when Jagmeet Singh became the leader of the NDP.
I thought it was great that a member of a visible minority had finally been elected leader of a federal party.
And I hoped that Singh could get the NDP out of the right-wing rut it had been in under Tom Mulcair.
But boy was I wrong.
As if Justin Trudeau didn't have enough challenges battling a pandemic, now he's preparing to take on another kind of enemy, an old enemy.
Canada's gun lobby.
He's trying to make Canada safer, and less like ugly America.
But predictably the gun nuts are very unhappy. So unhappy the president of the National Firearms Association is making jokes about bringing back the guillotine to deal with the "tyranny" of gun control.
Which at a tense time like this one isn't just NOT funny.
As I'm sure you all know by now, Erin O'Toole is desperately trying to fool Canadians into believing that he's really a nice guy.
And that because he expelled the SoCon bigot Derek Sloan, and demoted the yappy Pierre Poilievre, his ugly party is now a more moderate one.
But as I warned, you can't put lipstick on a hog or a Con.
And the more you put on, the worse it looks...
I am frequently accused of having my head in the clouds, which isn't true. I'm just smarter than those who say that, and they're jealous eh?
But yesterday I must admit, I was hovering just above Mars.
Hoping that the rover Perseverance would be able to land on the red planet, in one piece.
Since only about ten minutes before touchdown it was travelling at 12,000 miles an hour, it was never going to be an easy thing.
But somehow the little robot managed to land itself.
On the frontlines of the Covid nightmare, it's the belief that keeps many totally exhausted health workers from collapsing.
The belief that whatever our differences, we're all in this one together.
I share that belief. I see it as a chance to unite to defeat a lethal alien enemy. I see it as a great and noble cause.
So the ugly chorus of angry old men echoing in my ears these days absolutely disgusts me.
