The Fake WE Scandal and the DipperCon Monster

It's been that kind of holiday. I should have been in Scotland running wild in the highlands, but instead I'm practically a prisoner in Toronto.

Yesterday I was planning to go and do a little kiteboarding on the other side of the island, but fell asleep in my hammock, and missed the boat.

Then just as I was about to board another boat, this monster came along.

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 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.

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.

How Andrew Scheer Is Burying The Cons

I'm sure for a lot of Canadians it was a recurring nightmare. A question that kept them up at night.

What would have happened if the Cons had won the election and Andrew Scheer not Justin Trudeau was in charge of the war against COVID-19?

Well now they know, and sure enough, it couldn't be more horrifying.

Are Justin Trudeau's Liberals Heading For Victory Again?

I spent much of the long weekend out on the lake, watching some small but really fast sailing boats take advantage of a very strong wind to skim across the lake.

While also watching the RAF's aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, roar across the sky above.

On their way to the CNE Air Show.

Andrew Scheer and the Fake Scandal Flop

Ever since the Ethics Commissioner released his report, Andrew Scheer has been in a feverish frenzy. Trying once again to portray the tacky little SNC affair as Canada's biggest scandal EVER.

And demanding that the RCMP investigate and if necessary jail Justin Trudeau.

But while that deranged approach worked for him at the beginning of the year, and helped propel him and his Cons to the top of the polls. 

Now it's all going horribly wrong.

Andrew Scheer and the Mad Max Bernier Effect

I think it's safe to say that Andrew Scheer is not the man he used to be. His creepy smile has been replaced by a werewolf snarl.

He's angry, he's desperate, his polls are tanking, some in his party are already talking about quickly replacing him if he loses to Justin Trudeau.

And that old sinking feeling that time is running out, is driving him to new depths of degradation.

A New Poll Suggests the Cons Are In Third Place

It's never easy for me to leave Scotland, the idyllic little country where a progressive government has driven the Cons to extinction.

And it wasn't easy for me to blog as I biked from one small fishing village to another with my lap top in my haversack. But I did my best, for this time I couldn't wait to get back.

And this couldn't have been a better homecoming present. 

Stephen Harper and the Great Dumb Majority

In my last post I wrote about how Stephen Harper had managed to dumb down Canada by killing the mandatory long-form census.

So we're stumbling around in the dark, cities can't make any plans, and we don't even know what diseases are on the rise.

But now it appears that the problem is even worse than I thought eh?

There are apparently so many dumb people in Canada that Harper might even be able to win another bloody majority.
