That Horse, It's Dead. Leave It Alone.

The SNC-Lavalin business has jumped the shark. That's not to say it's over or that there may not be new revelations but, until something seismic comes out - if ever, it's a dead horse. We've had our fill. Enough.

I think most of us have some opinion of who, if not both, is blameworthy. Some are backing Justin, others stand with Jody and Jane. Me, a pox on all their houses. There are vastly more important issues we need to address and we simply can't let this keep consuming all the air in the room. Ask Jeremy Corbyn or Theresa May what awaits once you start down this road.

There is no shortage of issues confronting the world, our nation, our provinces and our communities. We have elections looming, our once in every four years chance to almost be heard. On some issues the parties are virtually indistinct. On others they're miles apart. We can intuit where they're going on some issues while others are wild cards.

One thing that will help no one is to allow this to become Andrew Scheer's election cudgel. That certainly won't help the country and yet Chuckles would never let that stand in his way.

I think Jody and Jane should get themselves squared away with their riding associations and consider running as independents if they want to remain in federal politics. What could be better validation of their "principled stands" than to run and win their ridings?

So let the electioneering proceed and let's put this Justin/Jody/Jane business on the shelf, see how it ages. If, without constant stoking, it fades to black then we'll know that it was always less than once claimed.
