What other comment could I or anyone offer to explain the childish, feeble, outlandish, boorish and tyrannical behaviour of the robber-barons who claim to represent us?:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Liberal lawmakers are shifting into full-on attack mode, trying to use former President Trump’s MAGA brand to bludgeon his popular rival, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, as a hard-right populist out of sync with Canadian values.
Not yet the official Republican nominee, Trump still casts a polarizing shadow on the global political landscape. In Canada, his name is like a swear word for the center-left, but also a useful tool.
A Trump reelection bid could influence the timing of Canada’s next election or deal a wild card to the race, with the odds currently stacked heavily against Trudeau.
Wrong.
Justin is relying on reactionary and irrational hatred of Americans and the gross mischaracterisation of Donald Trump to scare the willfully gullible Canadian electorate to reject the opportunist Pierre Poilievre.
The question is not why Justin would do this but why it works so well on Canadians. They simply haven't any reason to personally hate either Poilievre or Trump and no reason to tout the tatters of what used to be a functioning economy.
It has been suggested that should a snap election be called, Justin might lose his position.
I think we are beyond the point where we can believe that we and we alone are in control of the rigged game laughably known as the democratic process.
Not in this country.
The extended unedited version is actually far more disturbing. This speech occurred a month ago - and it was for the Ottawa Press gallery. The govt subsidized press gallery reporters laugh most unconvincingly with each "joke." It's all so reminiscent of other socialist dictators pic.twitter.com/Vf15h7ks8S

Why did you apologise, Rachael? Blanchet is the one who insulted you. His entire greedy province is a blight on the nation. Stop being weak:
Conservative MP Rachael Thomas has apologized after drawing criticism from other members of Parliament for asking Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge to answer questions in English at a committee meeting.
In a written letter to the chair of the Canadian Heritage Committee, Thomas on Thursday apologized for her comments earlier in the day. She asked that the apology be sent to the minister and other members of the committee.
"As you know, Conservatives support official bilingualism, the preservation of the French language in Canada and the right of Canadians to communicate in the language of their choice," she wrote.
The apology came not long after strongly worded comments from the leader of the Bloc Québécois, Yves-François Blanchet.
"Good old 'Speak White,'" he said, referring to a 1968 French-language poem that condemned the oppression of French-speaking Canadians.
Blanchet characterized Thomas's attitude as: "I am an English Canadian, therefore I am somewhat superior to you. You should speak English to me," adding that if she wants to hear English, simultaneous translation services are available.
"It's a lack of respect, which does not surprise anybody in Quebec," he said.
Thomas had made the comments during a committee meeting on Thursday morning as she began asking St-Onge a second round of questions.
"Minister, I noticed that you answer my questions in French, but other English questions you answer in English, if they're from your Liberal colleagues," Thomas said.
"I realize it's completely your choice, we're a bilingual country, but if at all possible, I would love to have it in English."
The House of Commons hall monitor has fled the country:
The Speaker of the House of Commons Greg Fergus will conveniently be out of the country for a previously scheduled engagement while facing calls for his resignation following a video appearance at the Ontario Liberal convention.
“Following weeks of planning, Speaker Fergus will spend two days in Washington, D.C. carrying out the diplomatic portion of the Speaker’s role. He will be meeting with members of the diplomatic community and elected officials from both sides of the aisle,” Mathieu Gravel, a spokesperson at the Speaker’s office, confirmed on Monday evening.Fergus apologized Monday for recording a video tribute message honouring the outgoing interim Ontario Liberal Party leader and personal friend John Fraser at the party’s leadership convention this past weekend. He hinted there was miscommunication about how the video would be used, and said the message was not intended to be broadcast at the event.Fergus delivered his message at a partisan event while in the Speaker’s office and wearing his Speaker’s robe, adding to the controversy.On Monday, Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois called on Fergus to step down arguing that this misstep demonstrated a lack of judgment. The NDP asked a parliamentary committee to look into the matter and decide on next steps to ensure it never happens again, while the Liberals have been siding with Fergus and trying to suck the air out of this controversy.“Mr. Fergus apologized. He said it was an unfortunate mistake, and I think that we should focus on what is essential for Canadians now,” said Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez on his way to a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning.
