The Monkey Court and the Day the NDP Died

I knew the Finance Committee hearing into the so-called WEgate scandal was going to be a kangaroo court, or something even worse.

For the very simple reason, there is no scandal.

WE Charity co-founders Marc and Craig Kielburger emerged from a four-hour grilling by opposition MPs tonight saying they did not stand to gain financially from agreeing to run the Liberal government's $900 million student grant program — and insisting they did not exploit their ties with the Trudeau family to secure the deal. 

Just two decent young Canadians trying to save their well loved children's charity, from dirty old men like these.

Old pols like Charlie Angus and  Pierre Poilievre, who would destroy a kid's charity just to get at Justin Trudeau.

Or worse go after poor old Margaret Trudeau for the same reason.

Which made me really angry...

No decent person can deny that Angus and Poilievre behaved like fascist pigs. They treated the Kielberger brothers like criminals.They berated and insulted them, they interrupted their answers again and again.

Even the Chair couldn't control them.    

 

And although I was happy to see that the brothers were able to handle themselves with class and dignity throughout their four hour ordeal.

What shocked me was how many Cons were cheering on the NDP, like they were now their farm team, or little orange brothers.

So much so that even the well known Con Stephen Taylor, once the master of the Blogging Tories, suggested that Charlie and Pierre should celebrate their appalling behaviour.

Or suggested that the boring Peter Julian is us ALL...

Instead of just another Con stooge who even after grilling the Kielburger brothers for more than four hours, declared that he STILL wasn't satisfied.

And yeah, that's it for me as far as the NDP is concerned. 

I used to vote for them back in the days when they were idealists, and could legitimately claim to be progressive. And I'm still proud that Jack Layton was my friend.

But then came angry Tom Mulcair who took the party so far to the right, I didn't recognize it...

And was singularly obsessed with destroying Justin Trudeau. Just like the old and bitter DipperCons are today.

So now I'm done forever, or at least until the NDP becomes a nobler and more decent party again. 

As for Justin Trudeau, tomorrow he will have to face the Angus-Poilievre committee, or the Canadian version of an ugly star chamber.

And like so many other Canadians I am hoping that Trudeau will prevail. For our country is in great danger.

The Cons and the NDP have sabotaged our ability to defeat the pandemic.

And as far as I can see only decency can save us now...

The Real Reason the Con Regime Killed the HarperPAC

Three days ago I wrote about how a group of well known young conservative activists had created a monstrous HarperPAC.

A political action committee that would collect money from Big Business, especially Big Oil, to attack the progressive parties and the unions.

But before the rapidly swelling beast was able to crawl out of its crib, it was brutally squished by Stephen Harper himself. 

The Cons and the Big Black Squirrel

If I was a Stephen Harper Conservative I'd be very very afraid. The Big Black Squirrel is giving them the evil hungry eye.

As they become ever more desperate. And even more NUTTY.

This week, Conservatives fought back.

Against whom I wonder? Surely not the GritGirl? Who hasn't posted a video in more than a MONTH.

And what are we to make of this?

Good week for Conservatives, don’t you think?

No Stephen. I don't. And neither do SOOOOOO many others.

In fact the only way the week could have been WORSE, is if the entire Con caucus had been busted in a hotel room.....handing out envelopes of cash to underage hookers..... as part of their stimulus plan.

Which of course brings me to Taylor's next line:

I hear that Brian Mulroney did pretty well too!

OMG. When does a critical disconnect from reality become fullblown insanity? Somebody please tell Stephen that in the real world...as opposed to the fantasy one he lives in... it's three strikes and you're OUT.

Still yearning for affection like an annoying suitor who cannot accept rejection, he will not let Canadians forget what it was about him that they so disliked when he left politics 16 years ago...

But it gets worse. After a cheap joke carefully designed to hurt both Dhalla and Ignatieff...one no doubt carefully crafted by the crass political thugs in the PMO...we get this:

*rimshot*

That's a rimshot? Or did he mean a rim JOB? And if so whose doing the rimming? Not Jason Kenney I hope. We wouldn't want another senior Con caught with his tongue in the cookie jar. Would we?

When the media pack got there, they found out that two officials, let's call them Kory Teneycke and Dimitri Soudas (as CanWest did), had taken a leave from their jobs. Just a one-day leave, so they could be Conservative partisans and talk to reporters about the ads they were releasing.

Oh boy. Are these Cons sleazy and DESPERATE? And how could Stephen Taylor get EVERYTHING wrong in one post? By suggesting that keyboard cat is a Con.

When everyone knows he's on OUR side. The Conservatives are the ones played out.

And the only animal act these pathetic Con pitbulls can expect at THEIR farewell... is John Baird in heat ... fighting off the rest of the caucus for one last chance to hump Great Loser Leader's leg.

And of course....bien sur.

Straight from Medellin....with envelopes full of cash.

My friend the Colombian chihuaha...



Bye Bye Cons.

They can yap and snap all they like. Or bite themselves in the ass.

But the party is almost over.....
