Justin Trudeau 2.0 And The Road To A New Majority

I really liked the swearing in of Justin Trudeau's new cabinet. I thought the prime minister looked rested and ready to take on the Con separatists.

I was impressed that both Jim Carr and Dominic LeBlanc made it to the ceremony even though both are being treated for cancer.

And I really loved the Métis kids leading the official party out of the room.

The Con Media and the Shabby End of The Fake Scandal

Lordy. What a difference a day makes. One moment the press gallery hacks in Ottawa were in a feverish state of arousal.

They thought the fake scandal, the one they had manufactured out of a flimsy anonymous sourced story in the Globe and Mail, and blown up like a balloon until they were blue in the face, was about to destroy Justin Trudeau.

They thought the justice committee hearings would finish him off, please their corporate masters, and maybe even save their jobs.

But then, as you know, along came Michael Wernick...

The Con Media, The Fake Scandal, And the Zombie Apocalypse

By any known standards, the media coverage of the SNC-Lavalin affair has been a journalistic horror show.

A freakish zombie apocalypse, where the walking dead in the Ottawa Press Gallery  insist it's the BIGGEST story in the world.

Give it saturation coverage, and try to force it down our throats.

Justin Trudeau and the Man Who Didn't Fall To Earth

Adam Scotti

I think it's fair to say that Justin Trudeau has had a challenging month. 

The pipeline decision, the NAFTA negotiations with the maniac Trump, the crazed old racist screaming at him at that corn roast in Quebec.

The creepy Andrew  Scheer stoking the flames of racism.

That's the kind of stuff that can really ruin your summer.

And now to make matters worse, our shabby Con media has just launched an all out assault on him.

The National Post Goes After Justin Trudeau. Again.

When I last checked out Paul Godfrey, Postmedia's Big Boss, he was cursing Justin Trudeau, and demanding money to bail out his sinking operation.

And his frantic employees were running around, or splashing around, desperately trying to please him.

Which is the only way to explain this story.

Is the CBC Becoming Even More Con?

If you're a progressive in Canada, this is the kind of CBC News panel that can really ruin your day. 

Old, grim, predictable, boring, and as Con as they come.

And like all the other CBC News panels and opinion pages, so totally biased the people's network might as well be a branch of the Con propaganda machine.

As a strong CBC supporter I really didn't think it could get worse.

But sadly I was wrong.

Justin Trudeau and the Con Media Losers

It's now been more than four days since Justin Trudeau missed a meeting of APEC leaders, and our Con media went ballistic.

Claiming he'd sabotaged a trade deal, and that all the other leaders were furious, and that Canada's reputation was RUINED!!!!

And nobody was more outraged than the pompous hack from the National Post Andrew Coyne.



Who fired off so many angry tweets his fingers must have been bleeding.

But while the other Con media stooges finally realized that Trudeau was simply sticking up for our country, and rejecting a bad deal.

And crawled away with their furry tails between their legs.

Coyne simply couldn't accept that he had jumped the gun, and made a fool out of himself...

The Quebec Bashing Media and the Tempest in a Snowstorm

It's a classic Canadian story, with some of the good and some of the bad that makes us who we are. And a lot of snow which does the same thing.

And it could have been an uplifting tale about battling and conquering the elements in the Great White North. 

But instead it turned into a horror show, where more than a week later they're still trying to figure out how this could happen.

And to make matters worse, some in the Con media are using what happened as an excuse to bash Quebec and Quebecers again.

The Grim Story of Postmedia and the Millionaire's Club

Oh dear. I can only imagine what the mood at Postmedia headquarters must be like after the latest bit of bad news.

With writers like John Ivison and Andrew Coyne fighting over the last place in the lifeboat.

Or begging their boss Paul Godfrey to give them the last lifejacket, if they promise to attack Justin Trudeau like there was no tomorrow.

Because if Postmedia is the Titanic, I think we're just about at this stage in the story.

Jason Kenney and the Insane Con War on the Deficit

Yesterday I told you that Jason Kenney has apparently decided to ignore his better political instincts, and his main adviser, and is preparing to launch his campaign to become the new leader of the Harper Party.

And has decided to make the Liberal's projected deficit his main campaign weapon.



Even though polls show most Canadians support the idea of a deficit.

And the only ones it seems to drive absolutely crazy, are people like Kenney, and Andrew Coyne.

Could This Be The End of the Postmedia Empire?

As you know the Postmedia empire is in big trouble. It's buried under a mountain of debt, it's running out of money, and its reporters have been forced to tailor their articles to please their bosses.

If they attack Justin Trudeau they can keep their jobs, if not they're gone.

Well now it looks as if writers like John Ivison, or Andrew Coyne, are going to have to kick up their begging a notch.

The Cons and the Postmedia Conspiracy

Ever since Paul Godfrey ordered his major Postmedia papers to run an ad on their front pages attacking the Liberals, there has been no doubt whatsoever which side that media conglomerate is on.

And although the move was widely denounced, it seems that Godfrey no intention of backing down, and is even more determined to destroy Justin Trudeau.

For the anti-Trudeau chorus from his hapless minions is becoming almost deafening.

As Michelle Rempel reminded me yesterday.

Is the National Post Trying to Muzzle Andrew Coyne?

I rarely agree with anything Andrew Coyne says or writes. I don't share his missionary faith in an economic system that I believe has been corrupted to its core by the rich and the powerful.

There couldn't be a better example of that corruption, than the way the big MSM organizations like Postmedia are commanding its editorial employees to endorse the Harper Cons.

And ironically enough, in this campaign, Coyne may be its first casualty. 

OK. Who Forgot to Invite Me to the Bilderberg Meeting??!!!

Well I wasn't really shocked that somebody forgot to invite me to the Bilderberg meeting at that luxury resort in Austria.

You know, the top secret conclave of the rich and the powerful, which has been called everything from the home of the New World Order, to the lair of the Fourth Reich. 

But I must admit I was disappointed.

Because I've got three opinions on EVERYTHING, I absolutely LOVE shrimp cocktails, and I've always wanted to drive my Porche, or in my case my bicycle, into the lobby of a fancy hotel...



Disappointed that is, until I read this story. 

The Media Assault on Idle No More

There was an incredibly revealing moment today. A moment that summed up the way many in the MSM have been going after Chief Spence and the Idle No More movement.

And like it has been all along, it was both banal and brutal.
