Horror in Ottawa

I've never voted Conservative and over the years I've become cynical about

the motives of ALL politicians

so when I tell you that I believe that the PM is lying about his involvement

in the Senate scandal, it is the sad truth.  

 

Mike Duffy is a slightly different kettle of east coast herring.

I have never agreed with his politics but he was an amusing

TV political analyst .

I would not have wanted to have dinner with the chilly PM, but Mike Duffy? 

I would have jumped at the chance.

But because he was political and I have learned not to trust politicians

it isn't difficult to believe he was on the take. 

Which pisses me off no end.

 

Pamela Wallin's fall from grace, however, is difficult for me to process.  

Quite simply, I trusted her. 

Or I trusted her on air persona.   (Lesson there for me).

 

Do I hope that Duffy, Wallin and the others have their buttons sheered

off with a sword today, their epaulets ripped from their Senatorial

shoulders, their pension dollars turned into chump change and distributed

among the poor?

 

Naaa.

 

Unfortunately, I think the right thing to do is let them make their cases.

Secnarf Sends News

 

I haven't seen hide nor hair of Secnarf

since Justin Trudeau was elected leader of the Liberal Party. 

 

Yesterday she sent a short e-mail saying she's working on a

Rhinoceros - Liberal Coalition. 

 

(She says it's the only way to defeat the Conservatives

and considering that Secnarf runs on the "two votes for every

woman"  platform - she may be right.)

 

Anyway she sent this photo of the Parliament buildings just

before the Victoria Day fireworks.

 

 

 

 

In case you have never been to Ottawa that is the Senate on the

right and the House of Commons on the left.

 

And speaking of politics what a few weeks it has been in

the national collective we call Canada!

 



 

First we watched the pollsters out west  explode when the B.C.

Liberals obliterated the provincial NDP. 

Surprise!

Then Toronto's mayor Rob Ford was (allegedly) caught doing

cocaine! 

 

Really lit up the sky here in south Ontari-ari-ari-oh! 

 

(And lit up TV stations around the world, too.!)

And in Quebec the PQ launched its own firestorm with

a full page ad in the Montreal Gazette explaining why the rights

of Anglophones in the province aren't important.

 

Sacré bleu!

 

And saving the best for last, we ordinary Canadians

watched the implosion of the  former journalistic super nova

called   Senator Mike Duffy. 


The scoundrel!

 

 

Yes, indeedy, my friends, we had an explosive Victoria Day

long week-end this year and Secnarf, as usual was on the job.

I'd e-mail her for more info but she was on her way

to a Rhino party meeting in Gander, Newfoundland.


Hope she took her shovel, they just got 51 cm of snow!
