Celebrating Spring and the Light After the Darkness of the Cons

At first glance it might seem like a strange  way to celebrate the arrival of Spring in the Great White North, and the end of the Great Darkness.

By turning out the lights.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined Canadian organizers of Earth Hour in asking Canadians to turn their lights off Saturday night along with millions around the world.



But it was in fact a sign that the light is back.

For Stephen Harper never celebrated Earth Hour, and you can be sure that Rona Ambrose doesn't either.




For she is of course just another Con oil pimp and a shameless planet burner.

And although she claims to be renewing her shattered party, all she seems interested in is finding any excuse to attack Justin Trudeau...



As only a ghastly Harper Con could.

And sadly as only the Con media could, by running this absurd non-story.

Most Canadians care not a whit about a hyphen. Yet for those of us who keep track of such styles—Jay Z, not Jay-Z, ISIS not ISIL—it’s puzzling. I have asked the PMO and the New York Times for clarification as to style change, and who pointed out the hyphen issue to the newspaper. I’ll update if I get any answers.

And making a huge fuss over a missing hyphen, which is really none of their business.

But who like Ambrose and her Cons, would try to convince us that Canada is not back, that nothing has changed, and try to drag us into their own misery.

When in fact as I discovered, so much has changed since Spring last arrived in Canada.

For when I looked up what was happening a year ago, all I could see was The Night of the Living Dead...



Michael Harris was writing about the Con zombies running wild. 

Suddenly we’re back to playing a game once popular in Canadian politics: Spot the Reformer. 

Although it seems like ages since a protester drenched Stockwell Day in two quarts of chocolate milk, the evidence is mounting that Reform and Canadian Alliance zombies have crawled out of their shallow graves and are shambling across the landscape once more.

And how the brain-eater-in-chief was spewing bigotry out of every orifice, and trying to scare us into submission...



As simple as War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery … and Ignorance is Strength. It’s a campaign designed for Idiot Culture. The only question is, are there enough idiots out there to put Harper over the top again?

Ralph Surette was wondering whether Harper would do ANYTHING to try to win the election. 

Stephen Harper is now serving notice that he’s willing to tear the social fabric of the country apart if that’s what it takes to get his party re-elected. That is, if torquing democratic process, the rule of law, election rules, the tax system etc., etc., to make them conform to Harperism isn’t enough, he’ll throw stink bombs in the public place in the expectation that, amid the chaos, he’ll be seen as the strong hand who can straighten things out.

The separatist leader, Pierre-Karl Peladeau, was thanking Great Bigot Leader  for providing him with an issue he could use to try to revive his zombies...



Robert Fife was writing that if Harper wanted to arrest anyone for cultural barbaric practices he should arrest HIMSELF.

And Rick Mercer was suggesting that one way to fight the darkness and the gloom of Harperland might be to strap lights to our heads...



And yes, what a difference a year makes now that the light has returned.

And we do have our Canada back.

Let the Cons and the Con media wallow in their own misery, or their own excrement.

Winter has left the building, and so has the Con regime.

Stephen Harper won't be going to the beach anytime soon...



But we will.

I'm so glad the nightmare is over.

Happy Con-free Spring everybody !!!!
