The April Macleans cover. It's going to make that trip to the grocery store a bit of an ordeal for Liberal faithful, especially Justin's acolytes.
I read Paul Wells takedown piece, "Justin Trudeau, imposter." He does put the boots to the prime minister but I'm not sure Wells is entirely unfair. It's not the hatchet job I might have expected from Wells. Read it and judge for yourself.
Justin marketed himself as being sunny and progressive, after the horror of the Harper years. Watching him in action has led a lot of us to consider that he just happens to be a telegenic cipher for corporate Canada. He is a better option than Scheer, but a good portion of people picked at random from the phone book would be better than Scheer. He reminds me of Groucho Marx -"I have my principles, and if you don't like them, well, I have other ones...."

ReplyDeleteThat pretty much sums it up, Clarke. I really wish the Liberals would revisit progressivism and perhaps discover it means more than being a twitch to the left of what today passes as the Conservative Party.
I had a lot of hope when JT became the Prime Minister however, I no longer feel that way. JT is all for neo-liberlism. Let's make Canada a "private entity". We have no one else to vote for in this coming election. So, how about every voting Canadian demand Trudeau apologize to the Canadian people and demand we institute "Impeachment" into our Constitution? I'm sick of my taxes going to pull Corporate Canada out of its welfare status when ever there is a call to the Government due to mismanagement. I don't think Wells is off one little bit. Anyong

ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for, Anyong. Opening Canada's constitution is the political equivalent of stepping on a land mine.
Could be!
ReplyDeletePhony?
ReplyDeleteYes.
If that’s a good point for consideration, then what took the reporters so long? Have they been saving or bottling it up for this explosion? Did they have to wait until they were sure they were all on the same page? I watched a gaggle of them going at him on a Global show called Focus Ontario. The racket reminded me of the time I drove my niece and her friends to a Spice Girls concert. I guess they all realized in simultaneous spontaneity that they’d had their fill of his insincerity.
And then there’s Jagmeet: “It’s unprecedented!”
I’m not making a judgement on candour or ethics, but anybody that Harper hired would have got the “it” that Jody didn’t. More than one of them did. And should some smidgeon of story have emerged, the reporters would be content to limit their input to a few discussions of the efficacy of his evasion tactics with the parties’ TV shills.
Howbeit, I’m really a fan of nothing “Justin”, except that he isn’t in one of our CRAP parties. He might not even be a phony; maybe he just doesn’t get this one, like all the other “its” he doesn’t get.
ReplyDeleteWe all come down to that same baseline, John. Think what you will of Justin. He's still far better than Scheer. Which promises to send us into another 'hold your nose and vote' election. I can't do that anymore and that's one of the reasons after 40 years I took my leave from the Liberal Party.
Is it not odd that the media attacks Trudeau over a scandal of deceit that is the repeat of many before it, yet will not take him or his government to task over his deceit over promises to tackle global warming , first nations issues etc!!

And the alternatives are just the best ever! The MSM is leading us down a dark path.

ReplyDeleteTB, I lost faith in Canada's news media decades ago. They're a stacked deck and have been for a very long time. So, no, I don't find their behaviour odd. In fact it's predictable.
