Apart from the brain dead convoy zombies, nobody really believes that he would make a Canadian prime minister. In fact, he is a classic example of that old saying, familiarity breeds contempt. And the more I look at him the more disgusted I am. But as I told JD, when the time comes Poilievre is going to end up splattered all over the highway like road kill, and it will be something to celebrate, almost as much as we celebrated the fall of Stephen Harper....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-64225031108442103182023-02-22T10:03:15.791-05:002023-02-22T10:03:15.791-05:00Hi JD....I also had trouble listening to what Poil...Hi JD....I also had trouble listening to what Poilievre had to say after the release of the Emergency Inquiry report. And the idea of blaming Justin Trudeau for the occupation was the most obscene thing I've ever heard. He really is a grubby thing, and he has no shame. But he is worried by Maxime Bernier's welcoming the convoy scum with open arms, so he has to keep sounding like a crazy person to make sure Bernier's followers don't abandon him, even if that alienates decent Canadians, the kind he needs to even dream of winning the next election. We have him where we want him and we are going to destroy him....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-89449021992646509972023-02-21T01:42:44.942-05:002023-02-21T01:42:44.942-05:00The new Abacus survey needs a reminder of Robert L...The new Abacus survey needs a reminder of Robert Lee's article where he digs up Coletto's Y'allberta bias. Thanks to JD for the initial post.<br /><br />https://crier.co/pollsters-and-media-collude-to-produce-an-anti-trudeau-reality-show/<br /><br />Chantal is just giddy over his findings out of QC claiming to vindicate her French Karenism over Ms. Elghawaby. With Charest having disappeared into obscurity she's surely gone back to her previous crush on the arrogant bigot Blanchet. Used to respect her but she's tarnished her reputation by wagging her finger at the PM for doing the right thing.<br /><br />Nobody else is anywhere in their ballclub. I wonder if Bruce Anderson's departure was a matter of conscience, perhaps a conflict with the "millennial pollster" who used to rig the moneyball machine for Ezra Levant and has now become the resident push pollster for the ToryStar.<br /><br />The Globe's putrid victim-blaming editorial on the clownvoy also speaks volumes about the decrepit condition of Canada's fourth estate. In any event Evan Scrimshaw's take on all of this morass seems to be the most sane of all. The pollercoaster is irrelevant until 2025, at which point Skippy will have to answer for his riling up hate (and sucking at answering questions), while the Liberals will be able to tout policy.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-63902185937467044812023-02-17T23:06:00.964-05:002023-02-17T23:06:00.964-05:00I tried listening to all of the PP's comments(...I tried listening to all of the PP's comments(but couldn't) following the Rouleau report's release and as Jackie said, it was a disturbing, unhinged attack on JT based entirely on the delusions of a very tiny PP. Once again, everything's broke and it's all JT's fault. JT ordered the UFO be shot down so I guess he broke it too. The most outlandish claim was that the Hairy Karen's occupation was entirely JT's fault. Even though PP and his far right group of a-holes encouraged the pubic parade right from the get go and further emboldened them while the terrorists were holding Ottawa hostage. Sure PP. Your base support of half-wits will believe it but for those of us who are living in this universe? We wont. In fact, by the time the next election rolls around, I'm hoping people will be so sick of listening to this whiny little puke that they will give the Libs another majority that will send PP back to the only trough he deserves, at his pig farm in Greely.<br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-68257584468278903592023-02-17T19:31:40.491-05:002023-02-17T19:31:40.491-05:00More bad news for Skippy as Justice Rouleau layeth...More bad news for Skippy as Justice Rouleau layeth the smacketh down on the freedumb convoy. The PM delivered a response in which he was professional, articulate, and even circumspect in hindsight, telling a reporter he felt he should have chosen his words more carefully to avoid antagonizing the conspiracy theorists (honestly, he is much, much more gracious to the <i>fringe minority</i> than they deserve).<br /><br />Skippy meanwhile was an absolute mess, never taking any responsibility or acknowledging the report at all, just rote nonsense of Trudeau Trudeau Trudeau, bad man, he sucks, he's divisive, everything is broken and it's all his fault. Fife tried desperately to help him by laying a stink bomb distraction with that front-page Globe report on ChiCom interference, but it deflated like a popped balloon. Too bad, so sad.<br /><br />Now the Liberals have all that convoy footage for the next election, <i>and</i> the report vindicating them. They will also have policy achievements to run on, most notably improvements to healthcare. Skippy's geniuses in the oppo room have... a bogus smear of the honorable judge that he's "Justin's uncle" (he's not) and gave him preferential treatment (he didn't). I am beginning to wonder if Skippy has a public humiliation kink. He calls out Trudeau's name so often because he seems to enjoy being spanked hard on national TV.Jackie Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221859743498420491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-91164827041274922862023-02-17T18:18:15.843-05:002023-02-17T18:18:15.843-05:00Hi Jackie....The Poilievre campaign has hit a wall...Hi Jackie....The Poilievre campaign has hit a wall.

He also dropped an elbow on Smug Ford by saying the province of Ontario completely dropped the ball by not responding efficiently and quickly with its police forces.<br /><br />As predicted, Trudeau et al. took this as a very last measure when no one else was doing their job. And thus, another plan by SKippy to erode democracy has been proven fruitless.<br /><br />Pierre D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03306288254713446717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-42352199194455799582023-02-15T20:51:04.779-05:002023-02-15T20:51:04.779-05:00@Pierre D.

"Notwithstanding" any views on that and the anti-Islamphobia ambassador, QC won't vote for him anyway because of his odious climate denier stance. Now he looks like even more of a bigot to the diverse populations of the GTA and GVA for putting up the few visible-minority MPs as shields to defend the indefensible. He's since been spouting nonsense about digital IDs (coming from Mr Robocall himself, that's pretty rich) and cuddling with the gun lobby as yet another mass shooting took place just over the border here, at Michigan State University. The EMA report is due out next week. Skippy can run from the clownvoy he attached himself to, but he can't hide.<br /><br />Persnickety Pete is doing everything he can to alienate reasonable Canadians by himself, but Dougie Do-Wrong could add a little bonus. Boss Ford seems to be Teflon, but who knows, with a little luck he'll be an albatross for Skippy just like he was for Scheer in 2019.

And it's needed more than ever.<br /><br />Also, for those worrying about that Nanos +13 CPC in Ontario poll, Ontario is now LPC +4, that's a drop of...17 points approval in a month for SKippy.

But nobody should be surprised that a Ford government would become a cesspool of corruption. Who in their right mind would vote for a premier from a crime family who once sold large quantities of drugs from a car parked on a street corner? Those so-called Ford Days where he holds forth like a mobster while Cons and other scum pay tribute to him, is as you say like a scene out of the Godfather movies. It's sickening, but it should just motivate us to work harder than ever to purge the Cons before they corrupt our country further, and take it down with them....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-68727877633277767152023-02-13T21:49:40.588-05:002023-02-13T21:49:40.588-05:00Here we've almost forgotten about the hijinks ...Here we've almost forgotten about the hijinks of our corrupted Premier Doug Ford.

Some of its papers are better than others, like the Montreal Gazette, and hopefully it can be saved by new owners. But as for the Sun and others like it I would even use it to line a bird cage. We have allowed them to poison our country and until they are gone this country will not be saved.<br /><br />Now as for Helensburgh...I have never been there, being more of an east coast boy. But there are many names in Canada that come straight from Scotland, and the people have many similarities, being quieter and more reserved that the English (except when they are drunk.)

The once mighty Postmedia is tottering on the edge of collapse, so much so that the Montreal Gazette is now being put out by less than 40 people. If we can put pressure on the Postmedia, financial and otherwise, it could go down like the Titanic well before the next election. And wouldn't that be a wonderful sight?

He can try but in the end very few Canadians will believe anything he says. <br /><br />So I prefer to focus on the latest Leger poll which has the Liberals and the Cons tied, which means that Trudeau would gain another minority government if an election was held tomorrow.
