I know I predicted that the Ontario PC leadership race would be a Con clown show, and it was.
Their convention was a total disaster.
It dragged on for hours with no result. Nobody knew what was happening.
And then they had to tell everybody to leave, because the room had been booked for a bodybuilding show.
Which went down like a lead balloon, with the enraged Cons booing their own party officials.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since since the body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach.
For it seems so much longer.
But although the passage of time has dulled the impact of that horrible tragedy.
What we must never forget is how that poor little toddler awakened the conscience of Canada, and helped bring down the Con regime.
I'm sure you know how I feel about Donald Trump. I've called him a fascist buffoon before, and compared his hair to one of the most poisonous caterpillars in America.
But now that so many people all over the world feel the same way, including our new government.
In an unusual move, the Canadian government, which usually refrains from commenting on foreign election campaigns, joined the chorus of those criticising Trump.
“It’s something that we can’t accept in Canada ... We have never been as far removed from what we’ve just heard in the United States,” foreign affairs minister Stephane Dion said.
Some more than others...
As you know Stephen Harper hasn't been seen in public since he was crushed and humiliated by the Son of Trudeau.
And nobody knows where and in what closet he might be hiding in, until the Duffy trial is over.
But no doubt he must be wondering about his legacy, and hoping that Ezra Levant sells enough of these.
And that this portrait of him doesn't become the one that history will remember...
He insisted that he had done all he could to help those desperate Syrian refugees.
He tearfully claimed that he was torn up by the death of poor little Alan Kurdi.
But now it turns out that months before that tragedy he personally intervened to deny help to the most vulnerable refugees.
After keeping a low profile for a few days, and no doubt trying to forget the ghastly image of that poor little boy on the beach, he's out there again.
Cheerfully tweeting away...
And giving us a big thumbs up.
But in his private moments Chris Alexander must be haunted by the ghost of Alan Kurdi.
Because it turns out Alexander knew much more about the plight of the Kurdi family, and what led to that tragedy, than he has ever admitted.
They buried little Alan Kurdi, next to his brother and his mother yesterday, in the shattered Syrian town of Kobani.
Just a week ago he was apparently jumping up and down with excitement at the thought of going to Europe, in a boat.
But as we know, like so many other Syrian refugees, he never made it...
But although he lived for such a short time, and never knew anything but war, that poor little boy did achieve something amazing.
This photo was released today by the Con Ministry of Propaganda, and is apparently designed to portray Stephen Harper as a leader bearing the burden of governing this country as only he can.
The man with the lonely job of steering this country through a dark and perilous time.
But to me it represents something completely different.
It's the portrait of a monster, who is threatening to destroy this country.
The sinister representation of a man The Tyee calls a serial abuser of power.
I've written a lot of posts about the Stephen Harper and his Great Con War on Pensions and Seniors for a couple of very simple reasons.
I like old people, I work and care for them all the time. I see far too many of them suffering the indignities of poverty in a country as rich as Canada. I will not remain quiet when so many are suffering in silence.
And of course I loathe and despise foul bullies like Jesus Harper with every bone in my body.
So now I'm writing another post, because as Martin Regg Cohn writes, his latest assault on pensions couldn't be more disgusting and reflexively destructive.
It still looks like the Canada I first saw on a glorious fall day long ago, through the window of a plane coming into land at Montreal airport.
As I bounced up and down in my seat with excitement, and looked down to see if I could spot any bears on Mount Royal.
A country so big and so beautiful, it took my breath away.
But sadly it isn't the same country. For as Carol Goar points out, Stephen Harper has altered it almost beyond recognition.
You might think that Stephen Harper has done enough to hurt poor seniors. By making them wait until they are sixty-seven to receive Old Age Security payments.
And treating our veterans like dirt.
You might think that his Great Con Debate scam would have satiated his corrupt instincts.
But no, now he has ordered his dilapidated stooge Joe Oliver to flog a phony pension scam.
It's not a question most people who know me would dare ask me.
Lest they be forced to listen to a five-minute diatribe, or watch my face turn red, and smoke pour out of my ears.
But now somebody has asked the question: Is Stephen Harper the worst prime minister EVER?
And since I'm really too tired to erupt right now, all I can say is thank goodness Bruce Livesey answers his own question.
There couldn't be a more hypocritical or nauseating spectacle, the old king of the brutish terrorist kingdom of Saudi Arabia dies.
And western leaders fall over themselves praising him. With Britain's David Cameron even ordering that flags be flown at half-mast.
While our disgusting Prime Minister Stephen Harper blubbers sympathetically.
I can only guess why Stephen Harper hates Kathleen Wynne with a passion that makes you want to pick up the phone, and call the police.
Because I'm not a psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of clinical psychopaths, who can't feel the pain of others. Or be rehabilitated.
But I know do enough about him and his morally depraved Con cult to come up with a short list of possible reasons:
