I wonder if Andrew Scheer will be dressing up for Halloween tonight, as he has done before.
Although the way he looks these days is probably scary enough.
AAAAARGH.
But what I think it's fairly safe to say, is that he won't be running the same Halloween greeting he ran last year.
I don't know why Andrew Scheer doesn't accept his fate graciously, or at least stoically, like a good religious fanatic should.
Accept that even after the foulest campaign in Canadian history, and the all out support of our shabby Con media, he STILL couldn't beat Justin Trudeau.
Recognize that after being exposed as a gross misogynist, a vile homophobe, a serial liar, a callous climate change denier, and an Ugly American, there is no way he can make a come back. And should resign immediately.
But that's not what's happening.
It's been almost a week and I still can't get those amazing election night sights and sounds out of my mind.
The glorious victory, the happy couple, the cheering crowd chanting "Four more years !!!"
And of course the piercing screams of Cons in pain.
Because for many of them it really was a Con apocalypse.
Andrew Scheer is looking a lot more humble than he was just two days ago, when he described his humiliating loss as a " first step" to victory.
And said he couldn't wait to go after Justin Trudeau again.
Now the sounds of sharpening knives seem to have tempered his wild enthusiasm.
But don't be fooled, he's still the same Ugly American.
It took a lot of courage for Justin Trudeau to impose a carbon tax on Canadians, in a country where the word "tax" can be political poison.
The Con premiers rose up against him.
And the Ugly American Andrew Scheer vowed to kill the carbon tax in its cradle.
I knew Andrew Scheer would be a poor loser. He was so sure he was going to win, and he lives in his own dark reality.
So I knew he could never accept the way he was humiliated by Justin Trudeau.
Still I was hoping that Scheer might eventually decide to do the honourable thing and resign.
But sadly it seems the Ugly American isn't going anywhere.
For more than two years Andrew Scheer has smeared Justin Trudeau on a daily basis, and recently he seemed sooooo sure he would replace him and become Canada's next prime minister, or Pope.
And so were his ugly Con supporters, who were screaming, and hissing, and fighting over who would get Trudeau's or Trudope's head.
While their stooge media wrote many versions of his obituary.
But when the smoke cleared last night, Trudeau was still standing, still prime minister.
I waited until the very last moment to write this final post of the election campaign, for a very good reason.
It was such a nice day I thought I should take a little more time to reflect on, or at least try to forget the most disgusting campaign I have ever witnessed.
And try above all to remember that Canada, the beautiful country, is not to blame.
But now the last polls are in, and I feel fairly confident that barring a last minute catastrophe, like an asteroid strike, the winner will be...
It's been really quiet in my neighbourhood recently. Most of the tourists have gone, the fairs are over, and most of the party boats will soon be moving to their winter berths.
Which is just as well, since I badly need some quiet time to recover from this hellish election campaign.
Which thanks to the Ugly American Andrew Scheer and his foul RepubliCons has been the filthiest and most un-Canadian campaign I have ever witnessed.
But as I crawl towards the finish line, it's a big consolation to see that Scheer is in worse shape than I am.
Andrew Scheer had a funny look on his face, at a rally in Fredericton this morning. He was trying to look like a winner.
But instead he ended up looking like a desperate loser, after being made to look like a liar. Again.
And although many Canadians already know that Scheer is a serial liar, these could be the lies that cost him the election.
As you know, I always considered Andrew Scheer to be more American than Canadian, long before it was revealed that he had been hiding his dual citizenship.
His scary religious fanaticism, his slobbering service to Big Oil, his obvious contempt for our humble but precious Canadian values, made that only too obvious.
But now he's taking aim at our parliamentary traditions.
And threatening to set this country on fire.
It's been almost thirty years since Preston Manning and his Reform Party cowboys galloped into Ottawa and started trampling on our country and its values.
They had "The West Wants In" tattooed on their...er...saddles, as they stampeded into our parliament.
Parson Manning thundered that they had come to elevate our politics, take big money out them, and make them more God-like. Hallelujah!!!
And, yes, so much for that one...
As Jagmeet Singh heads for the finishing line, still urging Canadians to vote for the NDP even in ridings where that party can only split the vote and elect Cons, his supporters react in kind:
And since I can imagine what they will say, if they elect a Scheer majority that will dismember our country and its values.
For years I dreamed of a mighty progressive coalition that would unite to topple the increasingly sinister Stephen Harper.
And I will never forget how happy I was to see progressives of all colours marching together after the would be dictator prorogued Parliament.
Or forget how much I hoped it would encourage the left to unite. Finally.
So although I'm voting for Justin Trudeau's Liberals, and believe he deserves another majority.
I could live with this.
Two weeks ago after a man tried to attack Justin Trudeau at the Climate March in Montreal, I warned that the threats against Trudeau were escalating out of control.
And that the toxic Trudeau haters were becoming more and more menacing.
Well, this was the scene at a Liberal rally in Mississauga yesterday evening.
It was the best debate of them all, and made the last English debate looked like an out of control kindergarten.
The moderator Patrice Roy was a real professional, there were good questions from real journalists. And there were far fewer insults.
But despite that, there was no clear winner.
Despite what the Cons were quick to claim. Again.
Ever since Justin Trudeau became Liberal leader the grubby Cons have been trying to smear him in the most vile manner.
Stephen Harper did his best to debase him by claiming "he was not ready" over and over again.
But it's the ugly American Andrew Scheer who is responsible for the dirtiest political campaign this country has ever known.
Last April Andrew Scheer had a secret meeting in a secluded lodge in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, to discuss how best to defeat Justin Trudeau's Liberals.
The day-long strategy session, held April 11 at the Azuridge Estate Hotel in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, brought together some of Calgary’s most prominent business leaders and high-profile Conservatives and their operatives at the invitation of a little-known pro-oil advocacy group called the Modern Miracle Network.
And one of the reasons it was so secret was the presence of a Republican operative with a very unsavoury reputation.
As I watched Monday's hideous political debate, I grew increasingly frustrated at the way the ugly American Andrew Scheer was able to avoid any hard questions about his sinister religious and political ideology.
Or all his other dirty little secrets
And I vented my frustration on Twitter.
But today I'm feeling a lot better because at least this strange story is coming back to haunt Scheer.
It was without a doubt the worst political debate I have ever seen, more like a game show on crack than anything else.
The format was all wrong, the time allocation was a farce with no candidate able to develop a thought before being cut off.
And to make matters worse, health care wasn't even one of the topics for discussion.
But none of the above stopped the grubby Con Andrew Scheer from quickly claiming victory, just like he did after the French-language debate.
I have never had much respect for David Akin, Global News' Chief political correspondent.
Not since he worked at Sun TV News, where Ezra Levant also worked, and first looked like a Con desperately seeking a Senate seat.
But recently his Con bias has escalated out of control, to a point that two weeks ago he actually had the nerve to tell Justin Trudeau that he should resign.
I've written about Heather Leung before, the Con candidate in B.C.'s Burnaby-North Seymour riding.
The religious fanatic and vile homophobe who believes among other things that gay people recruit children.
The one whose campaign tried to turn Rick Mercer into a Conservative.
Well, on Wednesday the Cons fired her.
Or at least that's what Andrew Scheer claimed he had done.
When I saw how the Cons were portraying Andrew Scheer as the winner of Wednesday night's French language debate, I was astounded.
For I speak French fluently, and I didn't have the slightest doubt that he was the big loser.
And sure enough the Quebec media has now delivered its unanimous verdict.
And Scheer has been humiliated.
I always knew that Andrew Scheer acted more like an American than a Canadian.
And that he always sided with Donald Trump, and worked to undermine our government.
But this is outrageous.
Before last night's debate began, most of the pundits were predicting that all of the other candidates would gang up on Justin Trudeau.
And that he stood to lose the most in a province he needs to win if he hopes to hang on to his majority.
But as soon as debate began, it was Andrew Scheer who found himself getting beaten up by all of the others.
Andrew Scheer is such a serial liar that I once designed a flashing light to place on his pointy nose, so he didn't take someone's eye out.
But our shabby Con media never calls him a serial liar, and this latest big lie, this #brokergate, is no different.
They made a huge fuss about Justin Trudeau dressing up as Aladdin, but Scheer falsely claiming that he was a real broker has failed to move their outrage meter.
So if those Con clowns can't do their jobs, maybe a real clown can do better.
He is without a doubt the most anti-gay political leader this country has ever known.
A creepy religious fanatic who began his political career by working with an Alliance MP who wanted to re-criminalize homosexuality, and arrest LGBT Canadians.
And has refused to apologize for comparing them to dogs.
So you can imagine my surprise when I saw this.
Andrew Scheer took Sunday off, no doubt to try to calm his shattered nerves. Discuss the state of the Con campaign with his ex-Rebel MiniMe Hamish Marshall.
And of course, figure out what to say to the media, if or when they asked him to explain why he had once posed as licensed stock broker.
And I mean posed.
