I hope they use clips from the "Duck Hunt" interview in attack ads and really hammer home exactly who Rebel is, because the M$M sure isn't going to bother informing the public of the real threat and the real scandal. Let's see if Andy now turns around and files a libel suit of his own, though unlike Trudeau's warning it'd be completely bogus because Andy is more like Canada's version of <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/405513426/Complaint-4-8-19-Mcclatchy-2" rel="nofollow">Devin Nunes</a>.

Anyone who wasted their precious weekend time to tune into Andy's ridiculous "Breaking News(wind) Alert" must be feeling a tad underwhelmed by it all. "Hi, I'm Andy and I'm being bullied by JT." Whoa! What? If anything, I hope the reporters who've been pushing the fake SNC scandal were the ones who hauled their asses out to cover this nonsense on a Sunday afternoon.<br />A bit off topic but I tuned to ctv news at 6:30 to cringe watch a bit of Andy's presser and was greeted by a repeat of QP with Evan Soloman interviewing Tony Clement of all people. Tony was explaining the "elaborate" plan to blackmail him as if he was the victim. Hilarious. If Tony had kept little Tony in his pants instead of dangling his junk on the internet there would be no victims, but there were. His wife and family and certainly not him. What a wanker.<br />It should be entertaining to watch the Cons portray themselves as the bullied ones. Oh the humanity! The best that can come of this is that they'll have to do some actual fact checking before they dump their next load of manure on us. It'll be like a ghostly apparition of JT standing over their shoulders as they concoct their future attack ads, wondering when and if the hammer will fall and knowing full well that the bulk of their attacks on JT are contrived, out of context bullshit meant to deceive with little, if any to believe.<br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-80277260468617478702019-04-09T00:06:39.513-04:002019-04-09T00:06:39.513-04:00Rempel is Prairie Oyster Barbie.

It came up with a link to a book called, aptly enough, <i>Damage Control</i> and a key quote from it in which the phrase comes up:<br /><br /><i>[R]espectable media institutions do have their standards, but there is something insidious — and very human — at work in the preparation of a hit piece: <b>the media's desire to believe in the evil of their targets.</b>"</i><br /><br />Seems to sum up the Con media in Canada and the same fake-liberal M$M that took down Hillary Clinton too. Which includes the Atlantic and the NYT. They're cynical. Sadistic even. They <i>want</i> the good people to "fall from grace." They enjoy it. It confirms their worldview that most people suck and there are no heroes in a cruel and uncertain world. <i>Schadenfreude.</i> They're probably hard at work digging up dirt on Fred Rogers or Anne Frank.<br /><br />In "light" of that, I found an accent pillow on Amazon that's now on my wish list. It's almost fate (and not an algorithm) that this came up in my recommendations. This is the quote printed on it. It 100% encapsulates everything that's happening to Justin Trudeau. Especially the part about friends and enemies.<br /><br /><i>People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.<br />If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.<br />If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.<br />If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.<br />What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.<br />If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.<br />The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.<br />Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.<br />In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.</i><br /><br />Mother Theresa of Calcutta<br /><br />https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1139478-people-are-often-unreasonable-irrational-and-self-centered-forgive-them-anywayJackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-90877982221662400352019-04-08T22:28:26.506-04:002019-04-08T22:28:26.506-04:00Not a good day for the Connies with darling Goldy ...Not a good day for the Connies with darling Goldy and the rest of the vomitorium disappearing into the Facebook ether.

Guess the realization that a two year window for filing a claim is a little longer than their retrospective vision can see into the future.

I bypass any headline links to the NP, the Toronto Sun, CTV; only read others with palatable headlines--If the headline already offends me I'm not going there, or here. (if that strategy ever fails me, it's because we know headlines can be deceiving)<br />I think it unwise for bloggers to link to such articles. Best to recap/paraphrase what they say with out offering the hit piece any more clicks.

I do think there is a line beyond which accusations become libel, but I don't think Scheer crossed it. Its all related to the job.
