#TBT, late: Bishop Carroll High School student council exec, c. 1978
Can you spot the irritating punk-politico?
Joey Pro Tip, gratis.
The strangers came today
My God, what a genius he was. Miss him.
Peter MacKay: he’s in
Does this mean Jean Charest is in or out? Does this mean Team Mulroney is going elsewhere? Does this mean Stephen Harper will not support anyone in the race, because none of them are him?
Who knows. But he’s in, he says. Here’s a quickie take on MacKay, pro and con.
PRO
- Was a senior Minister, seen as competent
- Helped unify the warring factions of the Right
- Nice-looking family, nice guy
- Crown prosecutor, smart lawyer
- Knows how to raise dough
- Knows the Atlantic region probably the best
CON
- Seen as too Red Tory by New Conservatives
- Seen possibly as yesterday’s man
- Seen as sometimes enjoying the high life a bit too much
- Not seen as having a stand-out big achievement as Minister
- Can be remarkably unremarkable sometimes
- Why is he running?

WE GET LETTERS: wherein I am exposed doing “globalist” work for Mr. Soros
I am proud of the Prime Minister
Crises change leaders. Some for the good, some not. @JustinTrudeau has been changed by the Iran crisis. He’s shown exceptional restraint, judgment & empathy. He’s looked more Prime Ministerial than at any time in his tenure. I am proud that he is the PM at this time. #cdnpoli

Me on Adler: on Iran (who are liars), on Trudeau (who has done well)
…and on Daisy’s (and our total elections exoneration), and Rush, too.
I’m on at the 17 minute mark or so.
