When I first saw Canadian soldiers arriving at long term care homes in Ontario and Quebec I must admit I was shocked.
I didn't think they had the training or the equipment to be able to do much good.
But boy was I wrong.
I always knew that the beast Doug Ford was going to be a destructive force, and sure enough he has been.
He has bulldozed decency, teachers and children, and will no doubt soon start demolishing medicare.
But this is beyond belief.
In my last post I looked at how the Jason Kenney is assaulting Alberta's democracy, acting like a dictator, and making Alberta look like a banana or bitumen republic.
Going after those who would dare defy Big Oil, or dare investigate his corrupt government.
And even making plans to replace the RCMP, that is investigating his leadership campaign, with a police force he can control.
It's a public relations disaster.
So I was surprised to see how quickly the loser Andrew Scheer came running when Kenney blew his bullshit whistle.
I have to admit that when I first saw the video Stephen Harper made for Andrew Scheer I was stunned.
I couldn't believe that the Cons thought that Harper could help them.
When to someone like me who spent so many years fighting him and his ugly regime it seemed more like a horror story.
Andrew Scheer has managed to conceal what he really thinks about our medicare system, like he has managed to conceal so many other things.
His religious fanaticism, his grotesque misogyny, his vicious anti-gay views.
But he has been overheard in private excitedly discussing what he would like to do to our healthcare system i.e. privatize it beyond recognition.
So this couldn't be more hypocritical, or more shameless.
In my last post I looked at a new poll that suggested that 60 per cent of people in Ontario now believe that Doug Ford's government is corrupt.
And how the stench of that corruption was dragging down Andrew Scheer's numbers in that province.
But that same poll also has some more bad news for Ford and Scheer.
I don't like to brag, but even before he became Premier I predicted that Doug Ford would lead his government into the swamp of corruption.
There was just something about him that screamed "SCANDAL!!!"
Or Con HOG!!!
They are two of the most disgusting politicians this country has ever known, but their love for each other knows no bounds.
They are both climate change deniers who are willing to torch the planet for crass political purposes.
They are both brutish bullies who get a special thrill going after LBGT children.
And now it seems both are auditioning for the roles of tin pot dictators.
I see Andrew Scheer has been playing cowboy, and flipping pancakes at the Calgary Stampede.
And although I'm sure Scheer was happy to be half a continent away from Doug Ford and the stench of Con corruption, he must also be hurting inside, and increasingly desperate.
Just a few weeks ago it seemed he was heading for a crushing Con majority, and on the verge of being able to impose his deranged Scheeria law on Canada.
Now not so much.
I still like that bobble-headed Andrew Scheer ad. It still makes me laugh.
But I do have one small problem with it.
It does make Scheer look like a bumbling weakling, a man who would never NO to Doug Ford. Or a man who always says YES to Jason Kenney and Stephen Harper.
But it also makes Scheer look like a nice guy, Canada's Howdy Doody Con doll.
When he definitely is NOT a nice guy.
As we all know Doug Ford's mental capabilities reside somewhere in the twilight zone between Con man, and angry ape.
So he's capable of saying and doing ANYTHING.
Saying he's FOR THE PEOPLE.
When of course he isn't...
When I heard that Doug Ford had decided to give himself and his government a five-month vacation until the federal election was over, I wasn't really surprised.
I'd heard he'd found running a province about a hundred thousand times more exhausting than running a small label factory, and needed to take the whole summer off or he'd collapse.
But then I starting hearing stories that Andrew Scheer's Cons had put pressure on him to crawl under a rock before his plunging popularity also took them down...
He is without a doubt the worst premier Ontario has ever known, a dumb Con beast who has disgraced himself over and over again.
But as he prepares to celebrate his first anniversary in power he is giving himself and his government a five-month paid vacation.
And although many believe he is doing that so he can hide under a rock during the federal election campaign, so as not to do even more damage to Andrew Scheer's Cons.
He's bragging about his accomplishments, as only he can.

Today is a very special day in the history of Canada. The 75th anniversary of D-Day, when 14,000 of our soldiers joined the assault on Hitler's Atlantic wall.
Storming the beaches of Normandy to strike a massive blow for freedom.
Or in the immortal words of Toby Barrett, a Con member of the Ontario legislature, to pave the way for Doug Ford to sell beer in corner stores.
When Doug Ford became the premier of Ontario, Andrew Scheer was so excited he treated him like his new best friend forever.
It was going to be the Great Alliance, with the two Cons vowing to work together to defeat Justin Trudeau and his satanic carbon tax.
And Scheer seemed to believe that Ford could deliver unto him all the Ontario seats he needed for his glorious, Godly, majority.
But now not so much.
As I said about ten days ago, when heavy flooding in the Ottawa area forced Andrew Scheer to admit that climate change was real, I knew it was all over, for him and his Cons.
I knew that having admitted it was a problem, but having no solution, except to scream at the Trudeau government's carbon tax, was going to cost them. Big Time.
And sure enough when the Liberals moved to declare a climate emergency, Scheer began to panic.
And started saying the craziest things.
I didn't live in Toronto when Mike Harris and his Cons ruled Ontario from 1995 to 2002.
But I heard about the damage him and his "Common Sense Revolution" did to the province, and how it took a decade to recover.
And how many poor and vulnerable people never did, because they were buried in the rubble of his brutish regime.
So I never thought I'd hear somebody who lived through those grim Con years say this.
I don't think it's possible to explain climate change to somebody like the brutish Doug Ford.
He's too dumb and greedy.
And as proof of that he has just released this tax payer funded ad that goes after Justin Trudeau's carbon tax.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, a chance for Jason Kenney to visit Doug Ford and celebrate Kenney's coronation as the new King of Albertonia.
And although I never thought that the meeting between the two men could be hotter than the one in the above picture.
It turns out I was wrong, for this one was even hotter !!!
And even featured a joint appearance in a Ford Nation attack ad...
Ever since he came to power Doug Ford has launched one attack after the other on the Liberal government's carbon tax. As only a political thug and a Con clown could.
He calls it the "worst tax ever." He is spending $30 million dollars to challenge it in court.
Even though it is the best way to fight climate change, which Ford doesn't really believe in either.
And now even as massive floods are threatening communities all over Ontario.
