As you can probably tell from the sporadic state of my blogging, I am rapidly approaching Christmas mode, where I try to think about only nice things, and have as much fun as possible.
So when I was skating the other day, I was dreaming about how at this time next year, the Cons will be splattered all over the ice.
Judging by the way their polls have been tanking.
Only to go home, and get a horrible shock.
When I checked to see what Andrew Scheer was doing this weekend, I saw that he was at the Winter Carnival in Quebec City.
No doubt trying to hold on to the small and shrinking number of seats the Cons have in that province.
Which won't be easy, because most Quebecers strongly support Justin Trudeau, and they need a right-wing, religious fanatic, and climate change denier like Scheer, like they need a hole in the head.
But then I saw something shocking.
A new poll that suggests that Scheer's Cons are suddenly more popular than Trudeau's Liberals.
It's going to feel like 40 degrees again in Ottawa today. And I was pretty sure that Andrew Scheer was melting.
Not just because of the brutal temperature, but also because of the heat he's been taking over all the lies in his phony tax campaign.
But could I be wrong?
Could this nightmare be true?
He is already the best protected Prime Minister in Canadian history. Wherever he goes he is surrounded by an army of RCMP bodyguards.
His motorcade of sinister black vehicles is as big or bigger than Obama's secret service convoys.
No ordinary Canadians can get anywhere near him. Only Con supporters who have been vetted by his office.
But even that isn't enough to reassure our cowardly mad king.
He is still campaigning furiously all over the country, sprinkling dollars all over the place, trying to buy the next election.
But the spring has gone out Harper's step, he seems listless at times, his cold dead eyes seem deader than usual. He's packing on the pounds.
The events of the last two weeks have clearly taken a terrible toll. Every day seems to bring more bad news.
And yesterday was no exception.
The other day I told you that Stephen Harper's roller coaster rise in the polls appeared to have finally ended.
And today there is more evidence of that.
This poll from Ekos...
And this even more encouraging one from Forum.
