Justin Trudeau and the Ratty Con Media

As I'm sure you know, I have long complained about the growing influence of our ratty Con media, and the way it has helped turn our politics into a sewer, ever more grubby, ever more American.

It hasn't been easy trying to convince people that the way our shabby media speaks with one right-wing voice threatens our democracy.

A lot of people can't see the forest for the trees. And even some of my friends believed that I was exaggerating.

But not any longer.

Pierre Poilievre and the Death of the Fake Scandal

I wasn't looking forward to watching Justin Trudeau appear before the Commons Justice Committee.

I knew that Pierre Poilievre and his ugly stooge Charlie Angus were out for blood, determined to make a fake scandal sound like a real one.

And after the way they had both teamed up to smear poor Margaret Trudeau the day before, I knew they were capable of anything.

But as it turns out, I shouldn't have worried.

Has Justin Trudeau Lost The Wind In His Sails?

As a sailor, I know that you can have the fastest boat, and the best crew, but if the wind quits on you, you can still lose.

Which makes me wonder if that is what's happening to Justin Trudeau.

For as this latest poll suggests, the fake WE scandal has had an impact. 

Andrew Scheer And My Wonderful Humiliation Party

In my last post I looked at how Andrew Scheer is cracking up with less than a month to go before he is given the bum's rush as Con leader.

And how desperate he is to try to force Justin Trudeau to resign before he does.

But if you thought that was just another sign that Scheer is losing his marbles, and that his party would be able to calm him down even if they had to use a tranquilizer dart, forget it.

For today the poor loser was back, sounding even crazier.

The Day Andrew Scheer Finally Lost His Marbles

I knew that Andrew Scheer was slowly but surely coming apart at the seams, and Iooking and acting weirder and weirder.

I knew it was just a matter of time before he totally lost it

He's now only a month away from being given the bum's rush as Con leader, and the thought that he hasn't been able to destroy Justin Trudeau must be absolutely KILLING him.

But who knew he would lose his marbles in such a spectacular manner?

Poll Wars: The Scheer Nightmare Is Almost Over

Golly, what a difference a day makes. Yesterday an Abacus poll made it look like Andrew Scheer and his Cons were heading for victory in the next election.

And I really had to wonder about the mental health of many some Canadians, who could stab a decent leader like Justin Trudeau in the back, after all he has done to save them from the horrors of a murderous pandemic.

For it wasn't a pretty sight. 

Why the WEgate Fake Scandal Will Not Take Down Trudeau

I must admit I didn't think that the fake WE scandal would have any effect on the Liberal party standings, or on the popularity of Justin Trudeau.

It's so obviouly a manufactured scandal, and the only reason it lasted more than a day was because the Con media made it sound like the biggest story in the world.

I thought that Canadians would understand that, and also recognize the excellent work Trudeau has been doing to lead us through a deadly pandemic.

But sadly I was wrong.

Why The Con Media's Fake Scandal Is Going Nowhere

It's a pandemic nightmare right out of Kafka, where the roar of a media mob turns reality on its head.

And a decent prime minister who has worked tirelessly for months to defeat a murderous pandemic, and get the country back on its feet, is suddenly called a "criminal."

For the "crime" of failing to recuse himself from a cabinet meeting in his rush to get help to more than 35,000 young Canadians.

It's so petty, I didn't think Justin Trudeau should even have bothered to apologize.

But decent will do what decent does.

Why The Fake WE Scandal Is Going To Hurt The Cons More Than The Liberals

Trust me, the last thing I wanted to do today is write about the absurd WE fake scandal.

I had a hammock, a good book, and a big bowl of juicy Washington State cherries ready to go, and I was looking forward to a really lazy Saturday. 

But then I saw a strangely orange Andrew Scheer in his home studio, calling on the police to investigate Justin Trudeau. 

So I thought I'd better explain why the Cons and their NDP and Bloc buddies are going to be the big losers of this fake scandal.

The Violent Cons Who Want To Kill Justin Trudeau

It's a lovely photo. Justin Trudeau and his family spending part of their Canada day helping to harvest vegetables for an Ottawa food bank.

It's another reason I admire our prime minister, another reason I love this peaceful country so much.

But unfortunately because Trudeau is so decent, and so Canadian, a lot of Cons and other haters want to kill him. 

Justin Trudeau and the Long Road To A New Majority

Since early March Justin Trudeau has been stepping out of his residence every morning to brief Canadians on the Covid-19 crisis.

And what his government is doing to try to help Canadians.

So I'm glad to see that after leading us to a very good place....

Will The MacKay O'Toole War Damage The Con Brand?

The Con leadership race was always going to be a sleazy affair. With two old Harperite hacks, and two social conservatives vying to be leader what else could it be?

Especially since the two Harperites have been shamefully pandering to the two religious fanatics who will almost certainly determine the winner.

But even by the low standards of the Ugly American party, this couldn't be more disturbing.

Justin Trudeau Sends Donald Trump Another Silent Message

They have been marching all over the world to remember George Floyd, and denounce police brutality and anti-black racism.

They have been peacefully demonstrating in Canada too, from coast to coast to coast...



And in Ottawa yesterday, Justin Trudeau spoke powerfully again without saying a word.

How Justin Trudeau Is Uniting Our Country

In my last post I looked at how the Con media was still trying to find any reason to attack Justin Trudeau.

Even when he said nothing, and even though they risk undermining the war against Covid-19, with their idiot questions about Donald Trump.

But luckily most Canadians understand that, and they are making their feelings clear.

Justin Trudeau's Silence and the Shame of Jagmeet Singh

It was the 21 seconds of silence that was heard around the world. 

Part of Justin Trudeau's reply to a question about Donald Trump.

And it couldn't have been clearer or more Canadian.

Will Justin Trudeau Call An Early Election?

It seems like only yesterday that Peter MacKay was claiming that Canadians had lost faith in the Trudeau government, and was demanding an October election.

But he's not doing that any longer. 

Peter MacKay, one of four candidates left fighting to be the next leader of the Conservative Party, says he doesn’t believe that Canadians want a federal election this fall as the country continues to grapple with the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

MacKay is blaming Covid-19 for his change of heart, but I'm sure these latest poll numbers also helped cool his jets.

Andrew Scheer's Most Miserable Birthday Ever

It was Andrew Scheer's birthday the other day, but as you can imagine the celebrations were somewhat muted.

None of his Cons felt much like celebrating, not when so many of his Cons are afraid that thanks to Scheer they are going to lose their seats in the next election. 

And of course, this was a lousy birthday present. 

The Amazing Spring Of Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau was looking very spiffy at his regular briefing this morning.

Maybe it was just the sunny Spring day, or his new jacket.

Or maybe it was this shiny new poll.

Justin Trudeau's Amazing Spring Numbers

When I woke up this morning, it was such a beautiful day I thought it was Friday.

And it wasn't even close !!#@!!

But then neither was this poll.

And it made me feel so much better.

The Covid Children and the Toxic Trudeau Haters

A recent poll suggested that half of all Canadians are experiencing some form of depression, and half are saying they’re feeling hopeless.

So it's not hard to imagine how many Canadian children are feeling. Caught up in a crisis they don't really understand, as well as missing their friends.

So the other day Justin Trudeau decided to reach out to them and their parents.
