Well I see that after threatening to punish Justin Trudeau for his role in the so-called elbowgate kerfuffle.
And either suspend him or humiliate him.
Or hopefully hang him.
The Cons and the NDP have decided to drop the idea like a hot potato.
Or pour water on the flames.
Yesterday I tried to imagine how disappointed the Con media must have been, after trying to turn Elbowgate into a monster scandal.
Only to discover that far from destroying Justin Trudeau, their breathless coverage, and the clownish overreaction of the Cons and the NDP, had only made Justin even more popular.
So I'm glad somebody out there is wondering how could the pompous asses of the parliamentary press gallery have misread the country's reaction so badly?
In my last post I ran a video by John Oliver, where he strongly suggested that Justin Trudeau had apologized enough for elbowgate.
And that it was all just a tempest in a very Canadian teapot.
Now it seems that's also what most Canadians believe.
I think that most sensible Canadians understand that elbowgate isn't a real scandal.
No matter how loudly Ruth Ellen Brosseau screamed, or tried to look as if she had been shot.
And that by trying to make a huge deal out of it the opposition is just looking ridiculous.
So I'm glad to see that John Oliver also believes the same thing.
I don't think the so-called two-four long weekend has ever come at a better time in the whole history of Canada.
So we can all recover from that act of collective madness that was the elbowgate affair. For it has been a real nightmare.
The Trudeau haters have been howling at the moon, screaming for Justin Trudeau's blood, or just talking crazy.
We all saw Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the House of Commons trying to physically block the Con whip from returning to his seat.
And then after getting accidentally elbowed by Justin Trudeau, carrying on as if she had been shot.
Now she's being used by the Con media to damage Trudeau's image abroad.
It was a very sad and contrite looking Justin Trudeau yesterday, apologizing over and over again for his behaviour in the House of Commons.
And if you relied on our Con media you might think that his political career had been damaged beyond repair. Or that his sunny days were over.
But when I looked beyond most of the MSM, I found a very different situation.
One that leads me to believe that the so-called elbowgate affair will not only NOT damage Justin Trudeau, it may even make him more popular.
It's the ugliest picture of the whole so-called elbow gate bumpgate incident.
The Commons is in an uproar, Justin Trudeau has apologized as a decent person should,
And there standing in the gaggle of NDP MPs is Tom Mulcair grinning like a hairy ape.
