When Rona Ambrose became the interim leader of the defeated and humiliated Cons, she promised that they would adopt a "new tone."
I predicted that wouldn't last long, and sure enough it didn't.
Because now Candice Bergen has made it only too clear those were indeed hollow words.
And she for one REALLY hates Justin Trudeau.
And that only about ten days after she herself promised to engage her opponents in a more respectful manner.

Which can only make some wonder if she has any idea how most Canadians felt about her and her depraved leader...
But then who can blame Bergen and the other Cons?
But then who can blame Bergen and the other Cons?
When Justin Trudeau is systematically dismantling the foul legacy of the Harper regime.
He has ordered the return of the long-form census, he has unmuzzled scientists and civil servants, he has given directions that all Charter challenges be scrapped.
And yesterday at long last his government buried the Great War on the Niqab.
The federal government has formally withdrawn a controversial court challenge involving the niqab, says Jody Wilson-Raybould in her first act as Canada's attorney general and justice minister.
Whose passing deserves to be marked, because it was without a doubt one of the worst things Stephen Harper ever did.
Using bigotry as a political weapon, and stirring up hatred that along with the events in Paris, is still poisoning our country.
Teenage Muslim girls at a north Toronto mosque have a new rule this week: Don’t walk alone to Islamic night school. And whatever you do, don’t jaywalk – you don’t want to give drivers any excuses, cautioned Aleemuddin Syed, director of Darul Khair Islamic Centre.
The warnings came after the Islamic State’s co-ordinated killings in Paris and an ensuing spate of anti-Muslim hate crimes in Canada. The incidents this week include the burning of a mosque in Peterborough, Ont., and racist graffiti and many reported verbal encounters across the country, leading Muslim and police groups to offer safety advice.
Which couldn't be more disgusting.
But of course the real reason Candice Bergen and the other Cons are so bitter is that it is finally sinking in that after ten years their time is really over.
And that Justin Trudeau is dismantling the Harper regime like Keir Dullea dismantled the evil computer HAL in the movie 2001 Space Odyssey...
And although Trudeau still has a lot more work ahead.
On Harper’s watch Canadian law grew ever more heedless of civil rights, contemptuous of the judiciary, unreasonably punitive, and unfriendly to minorities and refugees. Canadians voted for something better on Oct. 19. The Liberals have work to do, restoring the public’s trust. The niqab was a start. It must not end there.
That is the good news.
It was a horrible nightmare. He was a real monster.
But Stephen Harper's ghastly regime is being taken apart.
And he's never coming back...
