Justin Trudeau and the Long Road To A New Majority



Since early March Justin Trudeau has been stepping out of his residence every morning to brief Canadians on the Covid-19 crisis.

And what his government is doing to try to help Canadians.

So I'm glad to see that after leading us to a very good place....

The Con Clown Stephen Harper and the Battle For Canada



It's the Canada day weekend, and it's going to be a hot one in more ways than.

It's going to feel like 45 degrees in the place where I live.

And July 1 is also the day when Canada fires back at the Trump regime. 

The federal government has released its final retaliatory tariff list and is offering up to $2 billion in financial aid to the steel, aluminum and manufacturing industries. 

In announcing which U.S. products would be slapped with either a 25 per cent or 10 per cent surtax, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland asserted that Canada "will not back down."


Not with guns but other things.

My Fabulous Canada Day Long Weekend



Well I must say my Canada 150 long weekend was about 150% better than I had hoped it would be.

The music and the fireworks were amazing. Some friends from Montreal were staying with me, so I was able to party in both official languages.

And for the first time I felt that our other founding nations were being recognized at last.

Speaking Truth to Power in Harperland




I think this cartoon in the Toronto Star neatly sums up what Stephen Harper did on Parliament Hill the other day.

Turn a celebration of Canada, into a shameless and grotesque celebration of HIMSELF.

Declaring outrageously that his Con regime was "caring and compassionate." Wading into a select crowd of admirers who greeted him like a rock star...

Stephen Harper and the Conada Day Horror Show



I tuned into the Canada Day show on Parliament Hill today just as they were playing God Save The Queen. 

And just in time to see Great Patriotic Leader proclaim that we should all be happy and proud to be Canadians.

In his remarks, Harper told the crowd that Canadians have much for which to be proud and thankful. "Proud of a strong and growing economy, proud of a caring and compassionate society...

Which made me laugh so loudly, I expelled a large piece of bagel with such force it flew through the air and hit the TV screen just below his left nostril. Which was disgusting but strangely appropriate. Even if it was the wrong nose hole.

When Canada Day Means Freedom















It's Canada Day, and the fence has finally come down.

And so have these ugly barriers.















These sinister boats  that haunted my dreams have gone from the waterfront.












And been replaced by these beauties.

















It's safe enough to come out and enjoy life again.

And a great day for a parade.
















Oh boy. I love my beautiful country for so many reasons.

But freedom is the greatest gift.

















And now the flag of freedom is flying over City Hall.















Woo hoo!!!

The struggle continues.

But for now the nightmare is over.

Happy Canada Day everybody !!!
