It's almost too good to be true. Like a Con version of the story of the Hare and the Tortoise.
Pierre Poilievre gets off to a flying start, leaves the other leadership candidates in the dust, only to run into a brick wall.
And have his campaign start to fall apart.
I had vowed not to watch another Con leadership debate again, but when the time came I couldn't resist. And I'm glad I did watch it.
Because it was the worst and most mediocre debate I've ever witnessed, more like a low budget game show than anything else.
And their decision to use a sad trombone to punish candidates for breaking debate rules, seemed only too appropriate.
And lying like a thief.
Claiming that his mighty army invaded Ukraine because the Ukrainian "Nazis" and their NATO accomplices were planning to invade Russia.
As well as claiming that the Russians are winning
I missed yesterday's Con leadership debate live on TV. I forgot it was on, and by the time I remembered it was over.
And for a while I was sorry.
But then I discovered that I could watch the whole debate on YouTube.
And then I was REALLY sorry.
It's an American nightmare. A threat by the U.S. Supreme Court to deny women in that country the right to control their own bodies.
It's a nightmare for all Americans who don't believe that religion shouldn't be telling anyone what to do, about anything.
And in this country it's also a nightmare for the Cons.
They made it sound like Attila and his Con barbarians were about to invade Ottawa. Again.
This time riding monster bikes, instead of driving monster trucks. And with a new/nouveau slogan: "Freedom with Jesus."
But still determined to destroy vaccine mandates AND Justin Trudeau.
Fortunately, The Rolling Thunder Blunder invasion turned out to be a far smaller threat than some had feared.
It was one of the ugliest protests in modern Canadian history. The invasion and occupation of Ottawa by far right truckers bent on overthrowing the Liberal government.
They blocked the streets around Parliament Hill for almost a month, honking their horns day and night, terrorizing residents, and along with their blockade of the Ambassador Bridge and other border crossings, they cost this country BILLIONS.
And if Justin Trudeau hadn't invoked the Emergencies Act, the nightmare would have gone on forever.
But don't remind the Cons about that horror show, because while they enjoyed the sight of the ugly mob going after Trudeau...
There are about a thousand things I would rather do than write another post about Pierre Poilievre.
But I feel I have no choice because our shabby Con media is letting that ugly fascist get way with murder.
And has not even bothered to challenge some of the dangerous nonsense pouring out of his every orifice.
But at last that could be changing.
Pierre Poilievre has always been a grotesque Con man, who lies like a thief, and thinks he can get away with anything.
He claims he stands for FREEDOM or FREEDUMB.
Even though during the dark days of the Harper regime he tried to suppress the votes of millions of Canadians, and turn our country into a prison state.
His claim that he can give Canadians back control of their lives is equally absurd, and verges on the fraudulent.
But this is his biggest scam, and the most hypocritical.
