Ever since he was made a minister I've made it pretty clear what I think of Chris Alexander.
How he reminds of the character in The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Who after selling his soul to Stephen Harper, morphed from a promising young diplomat into a ghastly Con monster...
But who knew he was so incompetent?
OMG. I didn't think it was possible for Jason Kenney and the other oil pimps in the Harper regime to embarrass this country more than they already have.
I didn't think it was possible to be more humiliated in the eyes of the world, and still keep breathing.
But sadly I was wrong.
Because remember how I told you last night why Kenney's plan to crackdown on temporary foreign workers in the fast food industry was nothing but a sham or a scam?
Well how about this scam? Now they're hiring foreigners to replace our Royal Canadian Air Force pilots.
Uh oh. It looks as if the Cons have been forced to retreat to their wartime bunker.
For not only are they trying to dodge the flak over their decision to approve the Northern gateway pipeline.
They are now coming under fire because of their efforts to fix the Temporary Foreign Workers Program.
And what must be driving them absolutely crazy with fear, is that the heaviest fire is coming from Western Canada.
Oh goody. Pass the ketchup and call an ambulance. It looks like Jason Kenney's Little Shop of Con Horrors and Foreign Workers just got even MORE entertaining.
Because now not only is the fast food industry going after Kenney for cutting off its juicy supply of cheap foreign labour.
Now they're so steamed, or broiled, by his plan to fix the problem, by forcing them to pay those slaves more than they do Canadians.
They're going after Boss Harper !!!
Oh dear. I'm afraid I have some shocking Con fashion news to report today.
It seems that Jason Kenney has been forced to replace his fine feathery foreign workers pimp hat, with a very ugly, but suitably Con blue, dunce cap.
Because not only has he blown another hole in his fraudulent claim that the only reason he flooded the country with foreign workers was because there is a serious labour shortage in Canada.
The federal government approved thousands of requests to bring in temporary foreign workers at minimum wage in recent years, a practice that undermines claims from government and employers that there are serious labour shortages and that all efforts have been taken to hire Canadians.
He's totally demolished his desperate plan to try to win brownie points as the guy who can fix the problem, he created.
Well I see that Jason Kenney has been reduced to playing King Canute.
Frantically trying to hold back the rising tide of foreign workers flooding into Canada.
Trying to make it look like he's The Solution, not the guy who created the problem.
Well I must admit that there are so many things I want to do with my free time, now that the Winter from Hell is over and it finally feels like Spring.
Almost all of them have to do with bikes and boats.
And blogging about the horror of Harperland is not one of them. Not when sometimes all I can think about is how to escape the grubby living nightmare that the Cons have created...
Lordy. For a moment the other day I thought that I might have to change my poster for Jason Kenney's leadership campaign, fearing that he had finally gone over the deep end.
And that the combination of his sagging personal popularity, his sinking leadership chances, and/or his painful chastity vows, had caused him to lose control of himself.
For what else could explain this Twitter explosion?
You should have seen them today in the House of Commons, like a two-headed beast attacking the foreign workers monster they created.
Stephen Harper vowing to crackdown on those who abuse the program.
"It does appear to be the case that there are some Canadian employers who believe that they can have a preference for temporary foreign workers," Harper said. "This government has been clear: That is absolutely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated."
But not the Work for Foreigners scam itself.
And Jason Kenney vowing to tighten up the program he has spend the last six years relaxing.
Oh boy. Try as I might I can't escape the feeling that things are out of control in Harperland.
If it isn't the snow in Saskatchewan, it's the runaway blimp in New Brunswick.
And of course floating gently over us all in his runaway hot air balloon balloons is Jason Kenney...
If it wasn't for the fact that it's almost May, and Spring still feels like Autumn, I might have trouble believing I'm still living in Canada, or Harperland.
For when I check out the news these days I can't believe what I'm reading.
First there was Pierre Poilievre watering down his toxic Unfair Elections Act after vowing not to change a word.
And today there was Jason Kenney posing as a champion of Canadian workers.
Which had me wondering whether he's losing his mind.
Or I am...
Lordy. I think it's safe to say that Jason Kenney is now wrestling with his greatest inner torment since he chose chastity over sex, so many painful years ago.
For he is truly caught between the devil and a Big Mac.
On the one hand, because so many Canadians are so outraged, he's trying to look like he's cracking down on the sordid foreign workers scandal.
The government's decision to impose a moratorium on the fast-food industry's access to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program will send employers "a very clear message" that abuse will not be tolerated, says Employment Minister Jason Kenney.
On the other hand he also apparently agrees with the CEO of McDonald's Canada, who believes that Kenney's moratorium is "bullshit."
Well surprise, surprise. I see that Jason Kenney has stopped bragging about how he plans to fix the foreign workers problem, after the tragic story of that waitress in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
Who was reduced to tears after she lost her job to one of them.
And who can blame him eh? When he created the problem, Canadians are so angry.
And even McDonald's admits the problem is so big it's temporarily halting his pimping services.
