    Well, pp slumped in the polls, and he has problems in Quebec and vote rich Ontario. He isn’t likeable, he takes things like this issue with election interference to an extreme that might work with his base, but turns off moderates. His style, his delivery, and his extreme content looks like the stuff from his leadership campaign, when he attacked Charest, but not the stuff of a prime minister. Too partisan, and too much fiction in his attacks. He’s mean, seems cruel, and he’s extreme – also, he hasn’t done enough to distance himself from fascists in his party – they’re all still in his caucus.

      Curious V,

      Well, I’ll say this for you. When you went into communications, you chose the right thing. You have it down pat. It’s just that your script is a little… how should I put it? Ah yes, overblown, hyperbolic, stereotypical and simplistic. Reminds me of the desperation of the Martin campaign in ’06. But alas, you have to work with what you’ve got and when it isn’t strong enough to make a rock-solid case, you have no other choice but to go off the deep end. Nice try, though.

        I don’t do communications – I’m just a regular smuck

        Really, just a smuck. I had cancer a few years back and through the treatment, recovery and then covid – my world fell apart. I survived, with flying colors, going from 6 months of chemo (stage 4 cancer) to recovery. From barely being able to walk to running 5 k 5 days a week, but I couldn’t recover in my career after cancer. I do this for fun, nobody knows I do it – I always loved talking politics with people from every persuasion, so this is an outlet for me while I try to navigate a myself to steadier shores.

          Good for you. That’s an awesome recovery story.

          And I’ll share: I know from personal experience that running regularly can change your life / makes all the difference mentally and physically.

          Curious V,

          So sorry to hear about your health issues. You have great courage and a tenacity to advance in life despite all obstacles. I must say I admire that very much. All the best with your recovery.

      Poll, this past week, with 4,481 participants, had the Conservatives well ahead of the Liberals.

      Doesn’t seem like much of a slump to me.

        DW – exactly… the most recent polls have the whiff of a chest pounding, historically significant CPC Majority. PP is actually much better positioned to take it home than Harper was in 2006, Mulroney in 1984. Indeed the likelihood of PP not becoming the next PM is diminishing by the day.

        The only thing that isn’t over in Justinland is the delusional denialism of his staff.

      If Charest were the leader now, he would be embroiled in all of this Chinese nonsense too. There were serious people in the party that didn’t like him FOR THAT REASON. Absolutely guaranteed you would be hauling that out now so spare me. It does not matter who the leader is, you would not vote for them and the MSM would find some way to malign that person. The Toronto Daily Star just ran a stalking horse article about a small uptick in support in the death penalty no doubt to set themselves up to haul out the infamous Tory secret agenda the dumbass media has been scaring the public with for years. As far as the fascists in the caucus, name them.

      hah! Get real. Every… single… poll… has PP winning if an election were to be held tomorrow.

    Warren,

    If you’re truly lucky in life, there comes a rare time where you can put aside your personal reputation and mystique and focus exclusively on the good of your country. The general consensus in the Canadian intelligence establishment is that under this Prime Minister, this country has quite literally become a provincial satellite of China. This government has crossed the national security red line and someone has to set the matter straight. The fates and destiny have selected David Johnston to do that job. And do that job he will with resolve, integrity and impartiality.

    Warren,

    I would come at the perceived conflict of interest this way: yes, absolutely it IS a perceived conflict of interest but look at the bench: so many lawyers named to courts of first instance were rabid partisans when they were called to the bench. And how often do they recuse themselves in cases where they are charged with hearing a case involving both the government that named them and the party they supported that happens to form that government?

    Good show. Nice cover of Dylan’s All the Tired Horses. Thuggery, yes, that’s the word for Google and Facebook. They are not at all democratic or pro-democracy. I think they are pro-technocracy.
