I'm pretty sure it would require Trudeau personally committing a sex crime, such that his image as "dreamy progressive feminist" is irrevocably tarnished.

I am optimistic that Scheer will never be prime minister but given that Harper was for nearly a decade I'm not completely confident in demographic trends just yet.

I could see the appeal of Harper.

Scheer seems like a box of frozen chicken strips left out on the chicken counter and now its just a soggy pool of botulism.

Scheer really feels like he was focus-grouped by a group of people who thought having no personality was why Harper kept winning.

Harper, lacking even the faintest charisma or anything else, had ambition. Sheer looks for all the world like a box of hair just going through the motions.

I assume most people haven't read that article since I've seen no discussion about it anywhere but I'm a little disappointed to see Rosie Dimanno more or less ranting about SJWs the way you'd expect Blatchford or Wente to do. I don't know why, though, as I can't say that I expected much better.

Yeah uhhh maybe one column per year? I definitely recognize the aggravating writing style with every other paragraph being a lone incomplete sentence, but I do vaguely recall her trying harder to actually make a coherent point once in a while.

To be fair, most Canadians don't know what they want. If you really look at a number of prime ministers that we've had, Canadians want a strong man that will lead them and indulge us in our id, as long as we don't go too far and stay within the realm of not being "as bad as the US." Also ideally charismatic, but they don't have to be (cf.Harper, Stephen).

There's a reason why our governing philosophy isn't "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," but "Peace, order, and good government."

"She's lying" was my first reaction but I just didn't like how the story was coming out; hell if I could tell you why. I did the advanced interviewing course but I spent most of it actually thinking about a girl I'd just met back home.

Eh, it's just lovely rehashes of what PT6A has said four years earlier, like way back when said it would be fine if the police murdered me for participating in the same set of demonstrations.

I will say that while it's fine that guy some money for getting blinded by the police, the fact that this guy hasn't gotten the support he needs is a far more serious indictment of this country:

I was thinking that the kid was late for school or something and lied to cover for herself then it kinda of snowballed into what it did, all kids do it and I feel sorry that all the racists are going to come out of the woodwork to harass her for this.
