Nothing at all fishy about the timing. Besides, Popes quit all the time, right?

Terry Glavin Blows Up Trudeau the Younger

My favorite lefty (see blogroll) on the prize specimen above:

...someone it would not be entirely wrong to call a largely talentless and insufferably foppish celebrity drama queen. 

... merely a strangely pretty 41-year-old former snowboarding instructor who would be wholly unknown to all of us if he weren’t the son of a famously glamorous Canadian prime minister.

... a guy who was boasting, as recently as 2001: “I don’t read newspapers. I don’t watch the news. I figure, if something happens, someone will tell me.” ...

And Terry's just getting warmed up there. See, this is what you get when someone who's really smart takes a scalpel to someone who isn't.

Do read it all.

UPDATE! Step by step, inexorably, Trudeau 2.0 is advancing towards his destiny as PM du Canerduh.  

Just like Daddy.

Pass the sick bag, Ethel. And remember, you read it here first.

 Now, I wouldn't for a moment dream of exposing the Trudeaupian fascists wise, exalted Supreme Court Justices who have vomited forth bestowed upon us all this wise ruling to anything like "extreme detestation" (I'm no Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, fts) but I believe I can (currently) get away with "belittling and ridiculing". For now. We'll see how the universe unfolds from here.

Won't we.

Sheesh, Some People Sure Aren't Patriotic

BC labor unions clearly don't know or don't care that importing low cost, low maintenance coolies is a time-honored canerdian tradition.

Nota bene: No fascist, self-righteous, feel-good-accomplish-dick-all dogooders and their thralls all wearing compulsory pink shirts were involved. Just some well-applied violence.

Five Feet of Fury nails the meaning of this oh-so-glorious day (*snort*) in one pithy tweet:

Joe Biden is a World Class Dumbass

Exhibit ... hmmmm ... I've lost count.

Canada Sucks: Episode MMDCCLXII

So, let's see, imperial hq figure to save $700k a year by closing the Kits Coast Guard Base. This is the same bunch of prudent, wise managers of extorted taxpayers dough who have no problem blowing a billion dollars a year (you read that correctly-billion) on Heritage Canerduh.
So, as your boat is sinking into English Bay beneath you, take comfort in the knowledge that no-one went without a free maple leaf flag or Canada Council grant just to save your west-of-the-Lakehead backside.

UPDATE! What's all this then, Mr Harper?
UPDATE to the UPDATE! Once again, Alex G Tsakumis sorts the 411 out from the bovine excrement. 

So to summarize, Canada sucks (still), Christy continues to be a ditz and (shocker!) Kerry Jang has been economical with the truth, to say the least.

And hey, its not like anyone else can figure what to do what that mess.
