Why The Cons Can't Escape the Horror of the Terrorist Convoy


Yesterday the Globe writer John Ibbitson wrote a column suggesting that Pierre Poilievre was too much of a cheerleader for the trucker terrorists.

As well as too much of a Donald Trump groupie, and too soft on Putin, to even think about becoming a Canadian Prime Minister 

The article hit Poilievre headquarters like a Molotov cocktail, forcing him to rush out and try to defend his "freedom fighting" credentials.

Only to look like an an absolute idiot.

 

By going after the Europeans instead of the Russians. 

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre — the only declared candidate for the party's leadership — is slamming Europe's response to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, saying in a social media post that the continent's leaders have been "weak" in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression. 

Accusing European leaders of being weak, not strong like him.

Poilievre, who announced his candidacy only days after former leader Erin O'Toole was ousted by his caucus colleagues, said Europe has "cowered" to a "thug" like Putin because its countries are concerned about the flow of crucial energy supplies like oil and gas. He added that Europe's response in the lead-up to this "tyrant's invasion" of a sovereign country has been "shocking."

Before going on to suggest that the only way to beat the Russians was to buy more Canadian oil and gas.

Which is absurd. It would take until the end of the decade to be able to provide the Europeans with the energy they need. 

So unfortunately for Poilievre, it only served to remind Canadians of the convoy organizer Tamara Lich...

Who wears her colours on her chest so to speak, and was in court today also making a fool of herself...

But then like all the other Cons she's just trying to make Canadians forget about the role she played in organizing this horror show.

Some of the terrorist truckers are even comparing themselves to the heroic freedom fighters fighting the Russians.

Which is obscene, and is not going to work.

It was too much of a horror show... 

And the pain of the people of Ottawa is still too real. 

Craig Shackleton has lived in the city’s centre for years and was used to the 24/7 hum of the city. But since the protests, those sounds are no longer innocuous background noise. They bother him and keep him up at night. He has difficulty sleeping, he worries the protesters will return, and once in a while will hear “phantom noises” – the ghostly echo of sounds from the protest. Even the rumble of a snow plow now keeps him awake as he instinctively wonders, “Is it them?”

Caitlin Hung says her young son was confused and could not understand the aggression he witnessed.

“We saw people getting threatened, like, ‘Why are you wearing a mask? Take it off, take off the diaper.’ People being yelled at. It was pretty aggressive,” she said.

It's long term pain, so neither Pierre Poilievre nor Candy Bergen will be able to put that horror show behind them.

And it all seems to me like poetic justice.

Nothing excited the Cons more than the occupation of Ottawa, and the thought of being able to topple Justin Trudeau by force.

And nothing will do them more damage.

They exposed their fascist beast.

And they can't be punished enough...

So what do you think about the new schedule? Skippy must be pissed that an early vote isn't going to be held, but a Charest vs. Pigeon contest is probably just going to tear the party apart. The GOP style crazy is too embedded in the Cons to just go away quietly or rally around a so-called moderate. I think the leadership contest is irrelevant and the convoy is exactly why. Especially with Trump swaggering again and now the carnage in Ukraine that appeals to the sadistic nature in the right-wing psyche. Historian Timothy Snyder said of Trumputinist conserva-fascism, or sadopopulism as he called it, that "the cruelty is the point." And no one deserves to wear that stain more than the vulgar mob that is the CPC.

So Ibbi called out peewee...yipeee! No #Justinsurrection, #Justinflation or #Justinvasion? Nope, #Justincredible. Look out Ibbi, you just made peepee's enemies list. Peepee doesn't take criticisms, especially factual ones very well. He'll be roaring around Greely like a mad trucker lookin' for his rig. He'll need a good soak in the hot tub to relieve his anger and stress levels after that evisceration from a usual Con cheerleader. You know peewee's flustered when he comes out with that inane kind of bluster directed at the EU. His "vast" foreign relations and geopolitical experience on full display is an embarrassing example of why he'll never be crowned king of Canada. At best, he'll be another Stornoway groupie. That is if they can even remain the official opposition. Fingers crossed!

It's nice to see that Tamara Wich gets to rot in jail for at least the next 5 days and hopefully more. She's not very bright though, calling a judge's past political affiliations into disrepute is a hilarious exercise in "how to remain in jail because I couldn't shut my stupid mouth". She looks good with that diaper on her face though. It highlights her scowling eyes that reveal the simmering hatred that brews from within. It is sadly a feature of these far right extremists who've been nurtured and fed the Con bile ever since Justin entered politics. Let there be no doubt, Harper and his odious residue is entirely responsible for the hateful state of our Americanized politics. And then they have the audacity to say JT is dividing us!?

Speaking of division, MAGA Barbie's Feb. 18th tweet was quite the regurgitation of all the Cons worn out bullshit narratives packed into one shitty tweet. I will agree that she is disturbed but that's about it. Her last line "restore unity, wholeness & hope back to our nation." is rather ironic when one considers that the CPC are the exact opposite of that. And as Jackie noted, mark September 10th on the calendar. The day the septic tank comes to a full boil and a new "leader" emerges from the mosh pit of flailing feces. It will be a shitshow extraordinaire and I hope Charest enters it and throws a major wrench into the whole divided sewer that is the CPC. In the meantime and until the inquiry concludes, I would urge all the Cons who aided the occupation to retain legal counsel. You know, #Justincase.

Hi Jackie....I'm glad to see that Poilievre didn't get his way, for the longer the leadership campaign goes on the more they will tear the party apart. Although I'm disappointed that when I checked my Charest photo file I had only four pictures left. I threw the others out after Curly's assault on the red square demonstrators. But I look forward to making more photoshops, before his party throws him out. I can't imagine him being able to survive the far right extremists and religious fanatics who will be coming after him. But does it really matter? The Con line-up so far is so mediocre it looks like the stars of a flea circus. Trudeau shouldn't have much problem stepping on all of them...

Simon said...

Hi JD...Yes it's really disturbing that Poilievre considers himself a statesman, when as far as I know the only time he has travelled abroad was when he accepted $18,200 for a trip to Taiwan with his then girlfriend. It was scandalous, I have the documentation and the photos, and will share them with anyone who wants to use them against him. Although I must admit I'm a bit conflicted, for I honestly believe that if Poilievre is elected leader it will be the beginning of the end of the Cons. As for Tamara Lich, I agree she looks good or better with what she calls a "diaper" on her face. I understand that she could be sentenced to many years in jail, and when she starts to squeal about all those Con donors in a desperate attempt to reduce her sentence, she probably will have have a few Cons to keep her company in the big house.
As for Candie Bergen, there has been a disturbing story circulating on Reddit, that claims that Candy has been seen in the company of much younger men at a so-called Cougar soiree at an Ottawa hotel. I don't know if it's true, and it's a little too sordid for me, but since she claims she's a religious fanatic, I feel it's my duty to thoroughly investigate it. We will take them all down one after the other...

Hi Simon, I do remember that you blogged about peewee's far east "freebie" trip and it's unfortunate he found his way back. It was no doubt a relief for the Taiwanese people that he left as well. I'm sure he'll be remembered as "a bossy asshole" as that trait simply oozes from his pores and it's well known that he is. So now I wonder, who are these people who can just throw around their money like that? It certainly wasn't out of the kindness of their cold Con hearts and I would bet money that a quid pro quo is behind all these "gifts". Another is who paid for a private jet to fly Tamara's yokel husband to Ottawa for her first bail rejection hearing? Hopefully the inquiry can shed some light on that. And as for randy Candy Bergen's extracurricular activities, that would not surprise me one bit. She exhudes the morals and class of an alley cat in heat and now I'm wondering if pictures will emerge of her and some hairy, young buck insurrectionists frolicking in the hot tub, yuck. Now that would be a Canadian Con Heritage Moment as well as a hairy, smelly beef stew.

The Deep State that works was behind the well orchestra convoy and you may not like to hear it, but same for Ukraine.

Simon said...

Hi JD...I was looking for pictures of Poilievre when I came across the post you mentioned. And I must say I was impressed. I've got so much other stuff to use against that miserable fascist, but it will do quite nicely. And it will serve to remind people that the pigeon is a professional politician who has made himself very rich in office, and that's BEFORE he collects his very large pension. The more I see of Poilievre these days, strutting around, squawking out one lie after the other, I think the Cons must be crazy to even think that decent Canadians could ever vote for him. But needless to say, if that's what they believe, I'm with them all the way....to hell. It's quite clear now that the Con terrorist convoy got a lot of money from donors in the U.S., so an inquiry can only expose them for the traitors they are....

Although there is no humour these days the video overdub of Poilievre in the bunker cursing the tow trucks for undermining his fascist plan was twistedly funny.
Ibbitson now seems to understand that if you support the Cons by using soft words such as accusing Trudeau of trying to limit freedom of speech, ethics violations and division you are still just a part of the government controlled media. Only rabbit hole media that expounds hanging for treason, insurrection, architects of the great replacement conspiracy are their true friends that tell it like it is. Like the Tool perhaps the Globe finally realises that the Cons of yesteryear have evolved and they are not a part of it.

Hi Steve...You're right, I don't want to hear any nonsense about the Deep State. There is no need for conspiracy theories, the truth is brutally simple. Putin is losing his marbles and taking us to the edge of an all out nuclear war. We need to stay calm, and figure out how to avoid The Abyss, before it's too late...

Simon said...

Hi RT....I realize it's not the best time to try to make people laugh. But that's why I ran that clip. I'm not a fan of Hitler memes, but in the present situation I thought it might help lighten the mood. Animal videos may be next. Anything that might help us get through this dark moment, and hopefully come out on the right side of Spring. As you point out, there are things to celebrate. The media may finally be getting an idea of where shilling for Big Oil, and rampant Trudeau Hate is leading us. The Cons could be on the verge of tearing themselves apart. The war on Covid and Putin is making Justin Trudeau and progressives look good. We may all die in a horrible way, but if we manage to avoid The Abyss, I'm convinced more than ever, that the future belongs to us....

Eh Chantal, this doesn't look like a prime minister looking to cut and run or whose "shelf life" is nearing expiration like leftover milk. As someone so aptly put it on Twitter, ousting Trudeau in favour of Freeland alone would be like ditching one half of Batman and Robin. Fortunately, it doesn't look like LPC are going to bite.

Reflecting upon her article, it sounds like she's got an inclination toward Charest, and I'm not surprised. Evan Scrimshaw, who I adore and who far surpasses the bubble dwellers in his analysis, called her out by name which I found hilarious: "The candidate of people who read Chantal Hebert is not going to win a Conservative leadership race where the membership is overwhelmingly western."

Meanwhile, the Liberal government, and the Prime Minister who is not going anywhere, despite the wishcasting of Chantal Hebert and "the kind of people who read Chantal Hebert," has much more important things to be concerned with than petty mudslinging between a pigeon, a pervert, and a corrupt old fart. Like the existential climate crisis, the omnipresent spectre of the Fanta Menace in the US, and the ever so small matter of the madman in Moscow and the threat of World War Three.

Every enemy the anglo saxons have faced for 1000 years was crazy and deranged. What would happen if they had to go against a sane leader?

Pierre D. said...

@Jackie 11:25

The split is already happening.
QC Conservatives are trying to soft-sell Charest as some sort of angel. When all the corruption stuff is brought up they simply state that:
"Oh, no one will bring that up or care about it."

CPC voters will likely go for Poilievre or someone they view as hardline.
QC will try to get Charest in somehow. Tasha Kherridin and others will steal few votes. In the end, it won't matter and an LPC minority is nearly assured, a majority would be much, much better though.

For only a majority would send the CPC filth down the drain and force them to re-think their approach, once and for all...
