Springtime bits and pieces

It's busy.

Conservatives mocking Carney skating with Edmonton Oilers: "So awkward! Ha ha!"

Oilers captain Connor McDavid said: "It’s nice to have him here. He’s a lifelong Oilers fan and Oilers fans are welcome here for sure. It’s definitely a unique thing.”

The Toronto Star’s Linda McQuaig went after Postmedia. She said it was “unbelievable” that Americans who supported Trump owned part of a Canadian newspaper chain.

My response: I write for that chain. In a single hour, I kick the shit out of Trump more than Linda does in an entire year.

I have volunteered for Clinton, Biden and Harris to oppose Trump, and written about it for that chain. They print every word.

The only thing "unbelievable" is Linda McQuaig.

Deep thoughts:

**

I found some Doc Marten sandals I liked. Consulted with E.

Her: "So, so horrendous. I will never be seen with you again."

Naturally, I bought them.

**

Who says countries can't die? Countries die all the time.

The United States, as we knew it, is dead.

Sad, but true.

**

Two men who aren't here changing the fates of two men who are: Trudeau leaving, and Trump returning, have fundamentally changed everything for Carney and Poilievre. It's like Dickens' Christmas Carol, except it's about politics.

**

Washed my Jeep so it would rain. You're welcome, farmers.

**

If I were advising Poilievre, I would write - and release publicly - the most insulting, aggressive letter to Trump to get him to lose his mind and attack Poilievre. The Tories need to position themselves as the anti-Trump party.

They won't, of course.

**

Someone told me that my post that was critical the way Carney spoke to journalists was "ratioed" by his supporters.

My response: "Good. The social platforms pay me lots of money when I generate lots of traffic. So, ratio away."

**

Tories are telling everyone that Trump attacked their leader this week.

It's a strategy, I guess. Doubt it'll work, at this point, but it's better than what they'd been doing, which was fondle their old Axe The Tax merch and reminisce whimsically about 2024.

**

I predicted this on the radio last week: the “western separatists" were going to start kvetching and threatening to leave Canada because the Poilievre Conservatives blew a 30 point lead in six weeks.

Sucky babies.

**

If Carney wins a majority, he wins. If he wins a minority, he wins. And if all Poilievre can win is a minority, Carney wins. Because the Opposition will defeat the Tories the first chance they get.

Carney has many opportunities to win, now.

**

Readers ask me if I think Trump will invade Canada. I tell them I don't think so. Likelier, I think, is Russia crossing into our North - as they did many times just last year - and Trump letting them do it.
