For what seemed like forever, they were the ads we couldn't get away from. The Con's porky Economic Action Plan ads coming at us from every direction twenty-four seven.
Trying to brainwash us into believing that the Cons knew what they were doing. And that Stephen Harper was a Great Economist Leader.
They were irritating, they were maddening, it was like North Korea, or Big Brother. Or like some giant hog screaming at us "Vote for us and we'll pay you!!!"
So I'm glad to see that ghastly hog has finally expired.
It seems only fitting that on his last day as Con leader Stephen Harper should leave through a door darkly, while being humiliated over and over again.
In the same manner he ruled and humiliated this country, its people and their values, for nine nightmarish years.
First he had to humble himself before his shrunken caucus, by accepting the blame for the Conapocalypse that booted them all from office.
Then he was caught by some reporters making a quick getaway only a few minutes after ending his short speech.
Well I knew the Cons were desperate, and that it was not going to be easy to find or lasso an interim leader to replace Boss or Bull Harper.
Because most of the ones that needed to be fed rather than watered, had jumped over the fence before the election, or went down with the cattle call.
But who knew those Reform rednecks were so desperate that they would choose the Con clown Rona Ambrose?
It couldn't have been more of a fairy tale beginning.
Prince Justin, his princess Sophie, and the Liberal cabinet marching up the driveway to Rideau Hall to be sworn in, after having toppled the tyrant.
And yes what a difference a day makes...
One moment we were living in his grim Harperland, the next moment we were living in our beautiful Canada again.
And so magical was the atmosphere I found myself wondering how did Justin manage to get even the weather to cooperate with his sunny days slogan?
Until I remembered he was born on Christmas Day...
I missed the ferry back to the city so I could get this shot. The one I have been dreaming about for more than nine years.
The shot of the sun going down, at last, on Stephen Harper's long and monstrous reign of terror.
To make it even better it was a glorious, warm, Indian Summer evening, as if Mother Canada herself was celebrating, or rewarding us for having given that ghastly tyrant the boot.
And as a bonus there was Harper himself, reminding us why he was more than good to go.
Well as I'm sure you know, they say you can't trust a Con as far as you can see, or spit.
For they lie and cheat to win elections, and nothing they do is quite what it appears to be.
Now take a good look at that photo of the David Cameron, the British Prime Minister who is inflicting untold misery on the poor people of that country.
And then take a look at this one.
For years Stephen Harper and his brutish Con regime politicized every government department to a degree never seen before.
They turned every department into cogs and wheels of their massive propaganda machine.
They muzzled those who disagreed with them, and turned others into their willing collaborators.
And now we find out that some of the top bureaucrats waited until a few months ago to discuss what to do about the problem.
Well we all knew Michelle Rempel was desperate, and I mean desperate to become the interim leader of the shattered and shell shocked Cons.
Her late night boozy woozy Twitter monologues have made that only too clear.
But who knew she was so desperate that she'd enter into a bizarre political marriage of convenience with of all people Denis Lebel?
OMG don't look now, but the Con race to replace Stephen Harper and become interim leader is turning into a hog stampede.
With Jesus Harper looking on and cheering because they're all his candidates. And Jason Kenney waiting to claim the big prize.
But if the Cons are hoping to renew their shattered and demoralized party they're definitely heading in the wrong direction.
Or heading for oblivion.
One of the many great things about having toppled Stephen Harper and his Con regime, is that we'll never again have to watch their ghastly propaganda channel 24/Seven.
Which spent millions of dollars of our money, glorifying our self styled Great Leader in a manner that would make the dictator of North Korea envious.
Or make the original Big Brother scream with frustration...
So I'm glad to report that 24/Seven's last show, after the crushing defeat of the Con regime, and the humiliation of its Great Leader, was considerably more hilarious.
