When I first arrived in Canada as a young boy, those I most wanted to meet were the country's indigenous people.
For even in the misty heart of the Scottish highlands, I was always an Indian never a cowboy.
I thought they were the coolest people I had ever seen, and wished I could live like them.
But then nobody told me about this.
It's hard to believe that it has been a whole week since the monstrous Erin O'Toole and his Con thugs were threatening to tear this country apart.
Mutilate our medicare system, kill the CBC, destroy the plan for a national childcare system, wage war on women and LGBT Canadians, while ending the war on climate change.
It would have been the end of Canada as we know and love it.
But Justin Trudeau and his Liberals had other plans, and that was then and this is now.
For years their images haunted us, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, the two Michaels, trapped in Chinese prisons.
Held hostage for more than 1,000 days by the Chinese government in retaliation for our arrest of the Huawei senior executive Meng Wanzhou.
But then Meng was set free, and soon after that so were the two Michaels, with Justin Trudeau delivering the good news last night.
It's hard to believe, but days after Justin Trudeau crushed the Cons and the NDP, some of those losers are still claiming that they didn't lose.
They won.
It was Justin Trudeau who is the real loser.
And our grubby Con media is going along with that farce, warning darkly that Trudeau's third term will be short and end badly.
It was a brutal campaign. The Cons and their bought media did all they could to destroy Justin Trudeau.
They smeared him over and over again. They whipped up hatred against him and encouraged violent mobs to attack him.
It was grotesque, it was criminal, it was totally un-Canadian.
But when the smoke cleared, he was still here.
One of the worst things about this ugly election campaign was seeing Jagmeet Singh turn into a real Con monster.
Morph into a vicious toxic Trudeau hater who attacks the decent Justin with a passion that verges on the homicidal.
And my deepest regret is allowing him to get away with murder.
But not any longer.
It must have seemed like a good idea to the Con porker Jason Kenney.
He hasn't had many good ideas in his long and sordid career. So he must have been sure this one would be a winner.
He would lift the Covid-19 restrictions, and proclaim that it would be Alberta's "Best Summer Ever!!!"
But sadly for him, and the people of Alberta, his reckless plan blew up in his face.
I think Justin Trudeau has been stunned by how difficult it has been to get his message across to Canadians.
Stunned by the way violent Con mobs have tried to drown out his words, or attack and kill him.
Disgusted by the way our hideous Con media has lined up against him, and tried to make the grotesque Jody Wilson-Raybould a ballot issue.
But in Montreal yesterday, with his back to the St Lawrence river, he delivered the best political speech I have ever heard.
Ever since the campaign began the Cons have been trying to drown out Justin Trudeau's message to Canadians, anyway they can.
They have directed their monstrous supporters to try to disrupt his rallies, and threaten his life.
With the help of the shabby Con media they they have tried to smear him with one fake scandal after the other.
And now they're attacking him with one of their deadliest weapons.
I was really looking forward to last night's final leader's debate.
I was hoping that Justin Trudeau would finally get a chance to get his message out to Canadians, without having it distorted by the Con media, or drowned out by violent mobs.
So needless to say I was bitterly disappointed.
I watched the second French debate last night, and although by the end of the two hours I was struggling to stay awake, I'm glad I did.
For although I doubt that it will change many minds, especially in Quebec,
It made clear to me how Justin Trudeau could win the election.
And how he could lose it...
But his flip flop on assault rifles is his most outrageous.
I've been warning for a long time that the toxic Trudeau haters were becoming louder and more violent.
I've been warning that normalizing their behaviour would be the death of this country.
Well, now we can all see what those ugly Cons are doing to our Canada.
Erin O'Toole lied to become Con leader, and has been lying ever since like pokey-nosed Pinocchio.
He lies about everything, from his vow to destroy the CBC, to his vow to privatize much of medicare.
So I was really glad to see that during the first French debate he tried to lie about removing restrictions on assault style weapons.
Only to have Justin Trudeau make him look like a filthy liar, and an absolute idiot.
I was planning to write a post about some of the ridiculous polls this campaign has seen so far, or wait to find out what was in the Liberal platform.
But I just couldn't.
Because the only story worth writing about is the way the toxic Trudeau haters are targeting and threatening to kill Justin Trudeau.
For there he was in Sudbury yesterday, and so were the crazies.
