Watching Donald Trump these days is like watching a mad man riding a roller coaster, and about to fly off the rails.
Because while sometimes he sounds supremely confident, brandishing one small poll after the other to make it sound like it just a matter of time before he turns the White House into the Gold House or the Trump Palace.
At other times he sounds desperate.
Really desperate.
Although not as desperate as Ted Cruz...
As you know I hate bullies with a passion. Especially those who bully children and seniors, and those who are cruel to animals.
So it troubles me that although Canada likes to think of itself as an enlightened country, our laws on animal cruelty are barbarous, and haven't been updated since 1892.
And a horrible accident in Ontario the other day, only reinforced my belief that it's time those laws were changed.
It could only happen in Alberta, or in the battered petro-state that Stephen Harper bequeathed this country formerly known as Harperland.
For on the day that our parliament endorsed the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
The House of Commons voted 207 to 81 to endorse the Paris agreement on climate change tonight, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined a national carbon price plan Monday that will begin in 2018.
And the Cons to their eternal shame voted against it.
All I could hear was the buzzing sound of Michelle Rempel making an absolute fool of herself. Again.
In my continuing coverage of the Con leadership race, I haven't written much about Maxime Bernier's candidacy, for obvious reasons.
I didn't think the Bobo from the Beauce, as we call him in Quebec, had a snowflake's chance in hell of winning.
Unless he recruited his former girlfriend's biker friends, rode through the convention hall, and scared the delegates into voting for him. Or else.
But believe it or not that may be his strategy, because Bernier has just kicked up the Fear Factor a notch.
Well now that we know that Donald Trump enjoys the good things in life, but doesn't like to pay for them.
Or pay taxes.
Now that we've seen how he intends to fix that problem.
You might think that Rona Ambrose's main concern would be the way her allegedly new/nouveau party is turning into a collection of bigots and right-wing religious extremists.
What with Kellie Leitch trying to scapegoat refugees and immigrants for their "anti-Canadian values."
While Brad Trost stands up for those anti-Canadian values by taking aim at women and gay Canadians.
And the religious fanatic Andrew Scheer threatens to take the Harper Party even further to the right.
But no, the ghastly Ambrose has only one thing on her mind.
I didn't think Donald Trump could sink any lower after his monstrous meltdown on Twitter the other night.
But then he's been in a furious frenzy since he lost the debate. He still believes he won.
So there he was yesterday taking out his frustration on Hillary Clinton.
By mocking her recent bout with pneumonia.
There is only one thing worse than watching Donald Trump in a full orange frenzy, and that's watching his shameless so-called surrogates in action.
The hapless stooges Trump sends out to try to defend him, and promote the deranged idea that he's fit to be president.
So I'm glad to see Bill Maher take them on, and ask the terrifying question:
What if Trump did become President, and those Trumplings roamed the corridors of power?
I knew the Con leadership race was a total bust. With the desperate search for a good leader continuing, but getting nowhere.
But at least it's been peaceful, and incredibly dull...
For obvious reasons.
But now that the SoCon Andrew Scheer has joined the race, that's changing.
Now it's getting ugly.
We already knew that Donald Trump was a bloated demagogue who acts like a spoiled and cruel child, and likes to hurt and humiliate others.
We knew he's a bully, a bigot, a crass misogynist, a serial liar, a rabid climate change denier, a friend of dictators, and the last person we need anywhere near the nuclear button.
But now he's finally shown us beyond a shadow of a doubt, why he is unfit to be the President of the most powerful nation on earth.
