so Poilievre (aka skippy) announces his intent to run for... PM - yes, that's right, for Prime Minister; apparently, he's skipping that pesky CPC leadership thingee!

oh my! Of late, is there anything more cringeworthy than this announcement - that oddly is released in the 'dead of a Friday night'!
but really, c'mon which skippy will be running:
- the guy needing to secure {enough} caucus endorsements to ease the CPC leadership convention path; and/or
- the guy needing to play to the far-right CPC members just to win the CPC leadership, or
- the guy needing to balance the membership want against an eventual CPC national candidate... you know, one that can actually get elected while faking a shift to the moderate centre; a move that neither Scheer or O'Toole could manage!
Is there anything more cringeworthy? Have you ever watched a Justin Trudeau press conference? Or question period? Or debate? Or speech?
