As the Brexit rollercoaster keeps heading for what could be the catastrophe of a no-deal, you can feel the panic building in Britain
People are hoarding food and medicine.
There are plans to invoke martial law if riots break out.
And now it seems even the Queen is threatened.
It's hard to understand how much damage Brexit has done to Britain. You really have to see it for yourself, as I did last week.
Jobs are being lost or moving to the EU, people are stockpiling food and medicines in case the hapless Theresa May has to settle for no deal in March.
Fear and loathing are everywhere, and even the army is being made ready in case anarchy erupts.
But somehow the spirit of Christmas still clings to life.
It's a horrible image, and a scary one. Andrew Scheer wandering around in the ruins of post-Brexit Britain.
Wearing his Brexit hat, and celebrating what he calls its "newfound independence."
While posing as our next Prime Minister.
And claiming he's there to lay the groundwork for a free trade deal.
Andrew Scheer is off to London to start laying the groundwork for his pledge to negotiate a free trade agreement with the United Kingdom should he become prime minister.
Even though the Trudeau government is already doing that, as the Minister of International Trade gleefully reminded him.
About four years ago I made three political wishes. The first one was that Stephen Harper and foul regime be totally destroyed.
And that one was granted.
My second wish was that the Republican Party suffer the same fate. And whoever wins the U.S. election that also seems likely to be granted.
Which leaves me with my third wish, the independence of Scotland.
