Yesterday, Tim Hudak – the No Plan Man©– blew a $3 billion dollar hole in his platform. The media have stories about it here and here and here.  It was a flip-flop of epic proportions.

When the PCs saw the headlines they were getting, even with media that usually give them the benefit of the doubt – TORIES FLIP-FLOP ON HEALTH TAX (Sun), HUDAK FLIPS ON FUTURE OF ONTARIO HEALTH TAX (CTV) – his (oxymoron alert) brain trust freaked. They sent Timmy out again, this time to announce that he wants beer for a buck.

My sense was that Timmy’s Team had been knocking back one too many beers, as it was – thus their whiplash-inducing about-face on taxes and health care.  But the beer stunt was designed to divert our attention away from the gargantuan mistake they’d made earlier in the day.  It was a classic beer-and-switch.  Some people even fell for it.

Not us!  We won’t be fooled, will we?  Nope.

Herewith and heretofore, I am announcing a contest to Mock Timmy Hudak.  Here are the deets:

• Produce a vid, or an ad (PhotoShopped or otherwise), that mocks Hudak’s taxes flip-flop today
• Send it to me at wkinsella@hotmail.com, or in comments
• I’ll post as many as I can, as they come in, and we’ll all vote on the best ones in a poll
• Winner will get $100, and autographed copy of The War Room

That’s it.  You can submit as many entries as you like.

Now, go to it!  We have a mendacious, misleading Opposition leader to destroy!

It was easy to miss.

In the midst of last Friday’s ongoing Egypt-related news, and the editorializing about a big snowstorm that wasn’t in the Centre of the Universe, and all of the fun pre-Super Bowl hoopla – Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama got together for a little chit-chat at the White House.

It didn’t get as much coverage as these things usually do.

Harper, I suspect, wasn’t unhappy about that. After all, the subject-matter of his trip Stateside – a border deal that would see Homeland Security being handed private information about Canadians, ostensibly in exchange for easier border-crossings – is one that is fraught with danger for the Conservative leader.

Harper, being a wily politician, knows this.
