But I'm sure that as the election approaches things will look up, even though it will never be what it once was. Political blogging is dying, and Twitter which is so much easier, and more reactive, is now the main arena. As for the Disaffected Lib don't worry about him he's harmless. He is on record as saying he wished Trudeau was raped in jail, so he has no credibility and almost no readers...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-66770451745789986832018-03-05T23:11:15.443-05:002018-03-05T23:11:15.443-05:00Hi anon@6:05 PM....I share your frustration, and I...Hi anon@6:05 PM....I share your frustration, and I too find it hard to believe that the Cons could be ahead of the Liberals after all the atrocities they have committed.

But the poll is consistent with a trend, and the Con media have been relentless, so one can't dismiss the poll entirely.

It's the reason I started to support him, even though I had always voted for the NDP. Unfortunately the legacy of Harper and the influence of Trump have corrupted this country, and there is violent talk everywhere. The stakes have never been higher, and the next election may well determine whether Canada will live or die..Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-85853314187185358132018-03-05T22:48:46.827-05:002018-03-05T22:48:46.827-05:00Hi Steve....the Star is no longer a progressive pa...Hi Steve....the Star is no longer a progressive paper. It's just another anti-Trudeau rag, staffed by dotards, and almost always sucking up to the Cons.

If only because I know what's happened in the USA to young idealists who threaten to upend powerful forces, stand up for the downtrodden, and break the status quo. And I don't think any PM in Canada's history has ever been met with this level of hatred. Not even his father. Certainly not with the fourth estate turning into a fifth column because they've sold their souls to Mammon. Like David Bowie said: I'm afraid of Americans. But I'm also afraid of Canadians who want to emulate them.<br /><br />Some of the radio stations in the U.S. are playing songs from the tumultuous year of 1968. Including Dion's "Abraham, Martin & John." On my coffee table is a special edition of <i>Time</i> magazine profiling the events that took place those fifty years ago. 1968 was a happy year for Canada, coming off the golden-anniversary Expo celebration of the previous year and then Justin's dad becoming PM to lead Canada into a brighter, more progressive future. But Pierre-Elliott Trudeau is not on the cover of this <i>Time</i> magazine. Bobby Kennedy is. And with what I'm seeing in the U.S., with Trump as a combination of Nixon and George Wallace who just now said he'd like to see the U.S. "try it out" what Xi is doing in China to become president for life, a party that's so committed to entrenching their dying hegemony of "law and order" at home and around the world that they sell out to the bloody evil empire of Russia, and their northern equivalents no doubt chomping at the bit to follow in the elephant's footsteps...<br /><br />I worry for PMJT. I worry about "régime change." I worry about the cons mimicking the GOP playbook, whether it's Ezra cosplaying as Bannon to help Scheer cheat his way into power while the press delivers a shrug, or the party selling out to the NRA and by extension Russia, serving up "thoughts and prayers" after another "good guy with a gun" storms Parliament Hill. I worry about Justin Trudeau becoming another Bobby Kennedy like I worried about Barack Obama being another Martin Luther King, and it's making me sick.<br /><br />The rich old white men's patriarchy and the war machine does need to be <i>castrated.</i> And Trump, the GOP, the Crappers, and their deplorable constituents like "Glenn Dumont" who put PMJT in Pepé's crosshairs, need to be sent into permanent unemployment and ostracism from civilized society before anyone else gets hurt. They're evil. Pure evil. But it's going to be a protracted battle and I really, really, <i>really</i> hope that you guys are keeping your elections -- and that bright young feminist beacon of hope -- safe from the dangerous dotards who want to repeat history by changing it for the worst. Make Trudeau Prime Minister Again and make 1968 a distant memory again.
