Just Not ready

Everything Trump says somehow causes panic, where as everything Biden or others say is to be taken with a grain of salt? He is bargaining for position. Not much to see here.

The dissenting voices within the Liberal Party are moving to the middle now that the dictator is gone.

He's going to have one anyway at the rate he's going. Getting all wound up over the ravings of a madman. Dude - get your ass to Italy.

Dude - get your ass to Italy.

It’s still on the table. Driving to Surrey to pick up a door the other day put that option back on the table front and centre.

Trudeau, cancelled his softball Christmas interviews in Canada. Refuses to talk to Canadian press.

Goes on CNN for softball interview with Jake Tapper.

Blames right wing bloggers and social media for the negative "feelings" (yes he said it is about feelings) of his great productive government.

The oil and gas sector will miss Justin Trudeau. No, really

The truth here, one the oil and gas industry’s advocates would never dare acknowledge, is that Justin Trudeau has been the best prime minister their industry has seen in decades. He has done more to advance their interests, often at the cost of his own political capital, than any of his living predecessors. In addition to TMX and LNG Canada it also fought successfully for Line 3, a major expansion project that faced significant political resistance from the Democratic governor and other politicians in Michigan. Oh, and it also threw more than a billion dollars at the oil and gas industry to help it clean up its old oil and gas wells.

Trudeau’s biggest impact on the oil and gas industry’s economic wellbeing may be yet to come. Its longer-term viability in a decarbonizing global economy, after all, will depend on it reaching its stated net zero targets. That’s an increasingly unlikely prospect given the industry’s lack of recent progress and the perverse political incentives that Trump and Poilievre will create around climate change. But if they do somehow get there, they’ll have Trudeau’s policies to thank for ushering them down that road.

Pollievre the MAGA fanboy

Speaking of cringe-worthy pandering, Canada’s prime minister in impatient waiting, Poilievre, was more muted in his criticism of his populist-stunt mentor, Trump.

An uncharacteristically subdued Poilievre droned on for more than 20 minutes in French and English about how the brewing trade dispute between Canada and the US was Trudeau’s irresponsible fault.

All Poilievre could summon from his brimming bag of school-yard epithets was that Trump’s potentially ruinous tariff hike was “unjustified”.

Boy, that’s telling him, tough guy.

Like the lifelong, calculating politician that he is, Poilievre pivoted instantly to condemn Trudeau for being caught unaware since “President Trump had been talking about it for years on the campaign trail”.

According to Poilievre, the villain in this trade drama is not Trump – a convicted villain – but Canada’s prime minister who visited Trump at his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday to mend, pardon me, fences.

Trump should have appointed Poilievre the next US ambassador to Canada given how eager a job he has been doing carrying the bully president-elect’s water.

Poilievre spent the next several minutes recycling his, by now, standard attack lines vilifying Trudeau.

He did not direct another word of condemnation towards Trump. Rather, incredibly, he defended the president-elect.

“Look, President Trump has the right to put his workers and his nation’s security first,” the MAGA fanboy said.

Pierre Poilievre is Donald Trump’s mini-me in Canada. What a disaster both countries confront in the not-too-distant offing.

Ho hum, another left wing rant from Chef.

[Cousin Strawberry]

I'm as right wing as is healthy and I think PP is a shamster too.

He's a groomed and trained globalist puppet ready to sell you and your country down the river just as fast as the outbound retard is but in a way less obvious fashion.

It's all theatre. An illusion of choice

[donlever]

They're all shamsters.

At least Pierre will use a little lube....for the first year or 2 at least.

So.

Net gain.

Ho hum, another left wing rant from Chef.

... except he stole this one (from Al Jazeera).

Pierre is a weasel pufter, Trump will abuse him cause Pierre looks up to him like the father he never had.
