Liberal minority. My riding went Con. I had a feeling that would happen.
Times like these, the satire sites don’t even have to try.
Love the look on Stock Photo Model’s face though. Perfect. (May not be stock.)
Next time anyone asks if I miss working as a teacher in mentioning this:
Quel surpreez!
Surely if she’d lived long enough in Quebec to apply to be a resident she knew what she was in for.
She may not have expected the out-and-out bigotry of a majority CAQ government.
Please don’t let him get another platform please don’t let him get another platform please don’t let him get another platform…
I won’t be surprised if he shows up on Rebel Media.
He seems made to measure for G/O Media. That’d be a good place for him, he can ride it all the way to the bottom.
Owners of The Guardian? I go to linked articles there from time to time, but they never struck me as particularly right wing. I haven’t followed their editorial comments.
No, sorry, brain fart. I meant G/O Media; Spanfeller and the rest of his crew of morons. They have had so many names on their slow trip to irrelevancy I became confused.
Been there.
Energy policies have consequences.
I can imagine a certain phone call which may or may not have happened:
J: Stefan? Thanks for calling me back.
S: Hallo Justin. What’s the big secret? Is Trump going to–
J: No no, nothing like that. Sorry if I caused any alarm.
S: Well, no-one’s saying anything, because a secret’s a secret, you understand, but my honoured colleagues throughout the Scandinavian bloc mentioned I might hear from you, under the guise of a post-election communique.
J: Yeah it… have you been advised on how it went?
S: Minority government?
J: Yes, and we lost all our seats in the oil-producing Western provinces. And as you know, your fellow citizen Greta Thurnberg was just here, and the provinces who did vote for me are looking for climate action.
S: So take climate action!
J: Stefan, it’s not that easy. The western provinces are making serious noise about seceding. Probably they won’t be able to do it, but they’re like Trump supporters. They have guns. It could get bad.
S: What do you want from me, Justin?
J: Did you know Sweden’s banks still have investment in Canadian oil sands?
S: [pause] I did not. I think I see what you’re calling about. Of course, I do not control our banks… but I am meeting with their CEOs next Sunday for lunch.
J: No doubt you are also facing pressure to do more about climate change.
S: Always, always… All right, perhaps I will ask the bankers about their Canadian energy investments. Sweden must take opportunities to show leadership in this area. It affects us all.
J: It certainly does. And of course this phone call never happened.
S: Of course. You have a good afternoon, Justin.
J: Good night, Stefan.
Sweet FSM, the stupidity of some of those comments.
Firing the election commissioner when he’s investigating you – nope, not suspicious at all. And this is the party which claims it’s going to clean up corruption?
Warning: Autoplay.
