Oh boy. Sometimes it's not easy to be a Canadian eh?
There I was this afternoon at the old farm, enjoying a quiet moment with the ducks, and thinking: Oh how lucky I am to live in sleepy old Canada.
Even if now it's a dictatorship, and we're at the mercy of a MANIAC.
When along came the peacock, screeching like only a horny peafowl can during the mating season.
And scared the bejeesus out of EVERYBODY...
Or was it John Ibbitson?
Confession: This is a difficult time, what with everything turned upside down...
It used to be that if someone at a party assumed you knew who the NDP housing critic was, you took it as a sign it was time to leave. But this is now the shadow cabinet, and the party’s position on equalization or the oil sands actually matters, so it behooves the press gallery to treat the social democrats as the government-in-waiting that constitutional convention says they are.
But oh, it’s hard.
Because any more hysterical and corporate media than that, and Ibby would have to spread his fan like a peacock's ass, and ventilate himself like an aristocrat... on the way to the guillotine.
And as if those fowl noises weren't bad enough, now some Liberals are screeching: "Clarity!!! Clarity!!! The NDP are SEPARATIST STOOGES !!!"
Mummy. Mummy. I'm scared. Is Uncle Jack Layton really Uncle Jack Stalin or Uncle Jack Parizeau?
Gawd. As if that will help the cause of national unity.
As if that will save them....
Damn. Don't the Liberals ever take ANY of my free and friendly advice?
Unite against the common enemy or we'll all go down TOGETHER.
But of course I realize I'm just dreaming eh?
Seeing progressives unite in my life time would be as surprising as seeing Jason Kenney turn into the sugarplump fairy right before my horrified eyes. And offer to...um... marry me.
Or watching a boring old royal wedding. Vomit.
Turn into a real celebration...
No. No. It could never happen here.
This is boring old Canada where change is a threat. Something young and new is SCARY.
And there are more dummies than you can count.
Pity eh?
Because it is a beautiful country...

Except for all those desperate dummies.
Hey you !!! Stop feeding the swans !!!!
Have a great weekend everybody...
