YOU SAID IT: Go Sens Go

Article contentGO SENS GO

Well, let’s hope the Sens can take us on as wild a ride as the Blue Jays did last year.

Regardless of the outcome, they have made watching them this season an absolute blast as they clawed their way back into contention.

The best thing of all is that it is a perfect distraction from the gong show on Parliament Hill.

Who knows, maybe by the end of June we could be having a parade down Bank Street while watching a ground-breaking ceremony for a new pipeline.

OK, OK, I will settle for the parade, but only because I don’t have any pigs that can fly.

LONGING FOR THE HARPER DAYS

So Mark Carney secures his majority by using five turncoats. It’s all Elbows Up smoke and mirrors, all the while giving the finger to our Canadian democratic election process, just laughing out loud as he makes his backroom deals.

After a lost Liberal decade of unaccountability, with $200 billion in tax bucks blown on zero results in climate change alone, sadly Canucks have just accepted that waste as just the way it is.

Whatever happened to the common sense and fiscal responsibility we had under Stephen Harper?

FROM BAD TO WORSE

Liberal voters are now giddy with excitement over the Mark Carney majority.

Here’s my prediction: Things will go from bad to worse for Canadians over the next three or four years. Liberal voters will get so angry at the Liberal party that Carney will only serve one term as prime minister. The Liberals will then install a new face, and Liberal supporters will flock back and vote them back in, and somehow, some way, it will all be Stephen Harper’s fault.

DEMOCRACY IS DEAD

Let’s get one thing straight right: The Liberals did not win a majority. There is nothing democratic about the way Mark Carney got his majority. Had those turncoats been forced to run as Liberals in byelections, they would have lost.

Democracy is officially dead in Canada.

Liberal voters have no idea what’s in store for Canadians.
