He might have a point if Justin was a serious person.  But he’s not.  He’s a clown.

A clown who has won three straight national elections.

A clown that’s lost the popular vote twice in a row.

Yes, he wins by losing.  It’s a great system we have.

It's a bad system, but oddly the Tories don't seem interested in changing it, probably because they know they would never win a majority government again.

so your retort to Andrew Coyne's analysis calling for a serious Conservative leader is to... whatabout PM #3peatTrudeau?

A clown that’s lost the popular vote twice in a row.

again, yours is a loses lament! Popular vote is for loses! It's a consolation "prize"... like a participation ribbon! Again, the CPC vote numbers were minimally greater than the Liberals: in 2019 ~220K votes greater; in 2021 ~186K votes greater. Those numbers are hardly HUUUUUGE and in relation to other parties and respective provincial outcomes are principally "skewed" by one province - Alberta!

consensus seems to be that Poilievre (if he wins) will similarly carry these, uhhh... disgruntled votes from Alberta. But as Andrew Coyne writes, it will take a serious Conservative leader to convince a 'nervous' electorate that he/she has the character & judgment to win. You know, from the linked image/article that you completely ignored!

Shoot, I forgot, you people only care about the popular vote when a Republican is involved. 😂 Is Justin 1 for 3 in popular vote?

again, WINNERS WIN, LOSERS LAMENT!

again, popular vote means diddlySquat. That being said, as I showed with that 2021 election result graphic, you're pining over a measly ~186,000 votes! What you referred to as a significant amount! LOL!

again: #Trudeau3Peat ... apparently... it's a part of the Brand!

I think Harper is 1 win 1 lose to Trudeau.  At least Harper won the popular vote each election he won.  Regardless, that doesn’t take away from Trudeau being a complete clown.  He is.  He’s not a serious person.  So Coynes point is moot.

Trudeau being a clown has literally nothing to do with Coyne's point.

She misrepresented the facts and said she was just under 18 and it turned out, apparently, she was just over 18. You can't expect the media to conspiratorially keep it hush-hush and not report on what she said. That's not how it works

Patrick Brown was thrown out as Ontario PC leader because the accusation that he'd sexually preyed on a high-school girl was so inflammatory that he was deemed completely radioactive to the party.

And then when the truth comes out, we find that the real story is that an unmarried 28 year old man met a 19 year old woman at a bar and they went back to his place. Deprived of the sensationalist "highschool girl" aspect, the story is such a non-story that one has to wonder why CTV was in such a rush to publish a story that they hadn't finished fact-checking. 

Here's Gerald Butts, of all people, talking about the situation last week:



One of the strangest things about Brown's execution at the hands of his own caucus is that it was far-right kook and Nazi-adjacent scumbag Randy Hillier acting as the axe-man:
https://www.macleans.ca/politics/the-phone-call-that-ended-patrick-browns-leadership/

Gerald Butts hit a key point in his tweets: this "clusterfuzzle" ultimately just undermines the credibility of real victims of sexual harrassment.  Ultimately, #MeToo was derailed and disgraced by people like this.  They took something that was supposed to help women, and maliciously exploited it for cynical purposes, and played a part in tearing it down. It was disgusting and it still is. The people involved in this should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.


This is CNN journalist Ashleigh Banfield, talking about salacious but insubstantial accusations made against Aziz Ansari.  Just change the name "Aziz Ansari" to "Patrick Brown" and she could easily be talking about this accuser as well.

Patrick Brown would have been a great Premiere. I hope he becomes PM.

DoFo has to play from his playbook when the pandemic hit.

On a somewhat unrelated note, a friend of mine in high school briefly dated Ashleigh Banfield in Grade 11 and I met her many times. I have no interesting stories about her though. She seemed pretty normal, even though she hung with punk rockers.
