Love for Justin Trudeau

…Angus Reid says our love for the Liberal Prime Minister has diminished, here:


And I guess my response would be: we may love him a bit less, Angus, but we still love him, you know?

What’s really happening, of course, is that the perilous state of the Ontario Liberals – cf., Hydro bills – is hurting the federal Liberal brand. For Kathleen Wynne, that’s unlikely to change until she figures out a way to lower everyone’s hydro bills substantially.  And I simply don’t know how she is going to do that.

Solution? For the federal Grits, (a) create a little bit of light between yourself and your provincial relatives and (b) start focusing on the pocketbook stuff. The ones who are doing well – Wall, Clark, Pallister – are the ones who are doing that.

 

 


Punk rock makes for strange political bedfellows

Okay, my pal Brian Topp is coming home.  That’s good for him and his family, not so good for Rachel Notley.

Her new top aide is a guy named John Heaney.  Who is John Heaney, you ask?  Well, he’s the young guy in the picture, to the far left (typical).  In the centre (typical), wearing a dog collar, sleeveless homemade Sex Pistols shirt and snarling? That’s Your Humble Narrator.  The young thugs pictured? The prairies’ first punk rock band, the Social Blemishes.

John Heaney (who went to both of my high schools, Bishop Carroll in Calgary and Loyola in Montreal), I apologize for embarrassing you in front of everyone important in Alberta, but you should’ve stuck with punk rock.

Trump Virus: now in Newmarket

Here.

A young woman is left troubled and worried for her safety after finding three ‘alt-right’ propaganda flyers posted around the parking lot of the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket Monday.

The woman, who is bi-racial and in her early 20s, has asked not to be identified by name. She works two jobs at the mall. She uses public transit to get to work and after walking off the bus at the mall stop near Davis Drive Monday morning, she noticed a white flyer with black lettering taped to a tree. The flyer started with the phrase “Hey White People”, before posing a series of questions to the reader about political correctness, diversity meaning “less white” people, stopping immigration and being accused of racism for celebrating a person’s heritage.

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, festive Kwanzaa, and jolly holidays from Daisy Group! (Daisy Dogs Sloane and Roxy say hi, too.)

Hilarious scene staged by Daisy’s Emily Lawrence.


Dear Trump voters 

Over the next four years – as you lose your health care, as your country’s environment is destroyed, as joblessness soars and the cost of everything rises, as your sons and daughters are being sent off to fight in wars declared by your president – know this: you deserve every bit of the misery and despair that you experience.

You did it to yourselves. 

Oh, and this:


Nasty wall 

Walked into Sonic Boom last night and saw this up on the wall. That was kind of cool.

You can get yours here, by the way. Excellent Christmas/Hanukkah present!
