I for one fear who the Prime Minister will saddle us with in order to continue in his legacy of power. Will he anoint Freeland as our "second" unelected woman prime minister? Having said that I have no problem with a woman Prime Minister chosen by the electorate. It is about time.Barring that, he is going to have to come up with a real whopper. Something bigger than scrapping the G.S.T. or electoral reform. The only real promise that Harper made was to knock off two percentage points on the G.S.T.. Something he followed up on but no real ground breaker and certainly nothing to compensate his horrible leadership and bilious nature. A real whopper indeed something along the lines of "electoral reform" to be certain. I can't recall in the past where our choice has been so conflicted. No amount of"nose holding" will see this voter see the lickspittle Skippy take the seat. Perhaps now is the time to hand the reins over to the N.D.P. for try.zoombatsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-39291200630889499602023-02-06T09:49:10.271-05:002023-02-06T09:49:10.271-05:00Successors to successful leaders often run into tr...Successors to successful leaders often run into trouble. Kim Campbell, Paul Martin and Kathleen Wynne all failed to capitalize on their predecessor's longevity. If Canadians are done with Trudeau, chances are they're done with the Libs. In my view, by choosing Poilievre, the Cons have probably given the Libs one more win.

Will they react react to a journalists' opinions? If they do, I doubt it will be a hasty "knee jerk" reaction. Having spent much of their time and energy trying to get and stay in power, I doubt they and their supporters will give up easily. I think Justine, who represents his supporters, will cling to power by his finger tips until until he is defeated by the electorate. He has proven several times that he isn't a "quitter". Sounds a bit like Nixon, eh?<br /><br />CDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
