It was like a ghostly apparition. After pulling a vanishing act for weeks, and causing people to wonder whether he was holed up in his basement, or being treated in a mental hospital.
There was Stephen Harper back in the House of Commons.
But one moment he was there, and the next moment he wasn't.
Once upon a time Pierre Poilievre was one of the loudest and craziest members of the Con regime. A political thug if ever there was one.
But we haven't heard a peep out of him since he won his fifth term by less than 2,000 votes.
However today the Commons was choosing a new Speaker and he couldn't help himself.
Even though the joke was lame, and only reminded us that his humiliation couldn't be greater.
I always knew Rona Ambrose's claim that her Cons would be different and better than Stephen Harper's Cons was a hollow boast.
And that she would not be able to resist the tempting target of Justin Trudeau's children.
I knew that a woman who would allow heroin addicts to die, and would jail those who smoke marijuana, is capable of anything.
But who knew she would have the nerve to call herself a feminist, and declare that child care was a luxury?
It couldn't be more of a disgusting or more cowardly move.
The Con media which despite its best efforts has failed to damage Justin Trudeau's popularity, or destroy our hopes for a better future.
Is now trying to do both by going after his children.
Well one thing is for sure. In his lonely loser bunker, surrounded by the last of his loyal Cons, somewhere between Alberta and Paraguay, Stephen Harper is having another bad day.
Another Con bastion has fallen.
And a red tide has swept over Newfoundland and Labrador.
I must admit I was both surprised and shocked to see that James Moore has been named chancellor of the University of Northern British Columbia.
After the way he handled the oil spill in Vancouver's English Bay. Which defied reason.
And after his years of loyal service to his ghastly leader Stephen Harper, who waged war on knowledge and science, in a brutish manner never seen before.
So I'm glad to see that some in BC are letting Moore and UNBC know what they think of that appointment.
Ever since Justin Trudeau was sworn in, and our enchanted fall began, the Con media has been attacking him like they never attacked Stephen Harper.
They denounced his decision to stop the bombing after the Paris massacre. They said it was a BIG MISTAKE that would pop his balloon.
And after Justin had been in power for about ten days, most of the MSM solemnly declared that the honeymoon was OVER.
But sadly for them, they couldn't be more wrong.
As you know Stephen Harper hasn't been seen in public since he was crushed and humiliated by the Son of Trudeau.
And nobody knows where and in what closet he might be hiding in, until the Duffy trial is over.
But no doubt he must be wondering about his legacy, and hoping that Ezra Levant sells enough of these.
And that this portrait of him doesn't become the one that history will remember...
In a country full of Stephen Harper's victims, Omar Khadr is without a doubt the one who suffered the most.
The one he went after like a bully in heat, or a rabid animal. The one he allowed to be tortured in a place like Guantanamo, even though he was a child soldier.
The one he demonized to please his bloodthirsty bigot base, suck up their sucker dollars, and pleasure his inner demons. While muzzling that young Canadian for almost ten years, and never letting us hear his story.
So I'm glad to see that the Liberal government may finally be preparing to end this monstrous travesty of justice.
It's a strange feeling. I want to celebrate the end of Stephen Harper's ghastly Con regime. I want to think that the monster has disappeared into his own darkness.
But I still can't quite believe it.
And what with the state of the world, and the sound of the Cons grinding their teeth like cicadas, and violence and insanity everywhere.
I'm having a hard time getting into the spirit of the season...
But luckily a lot of good things really are happening in the New Canada, and this has got to be one of the best.
