I have read the writing on the wall…

 

And it tells me the Left has it.

Not only for now – but for long in the future – at least here in Canada.

I am speaking of this week’s Liberal win in the Canadian Election and the recent Liberal election win in the Province of Ontario – (which followed 3 other electoral victories for the – ‘Dolton’ McGuinty and ‘Kate the Winner’ – Wynne – coalition).

Both at the National and Provincial level, they are solidly supported by an electorate that is 66 to 70 % centre left.

And it is not that they are intellectually socialistic; rather it goes beyond that – it is imbedded in their genes.

So until things crash around our ears – the Conservatives will be on the outside looking in.

In past Blogs, I have fully set-out the lunacy of the left’s policies but will not be doing so any longer.  For me to continue in this vain, is like spitting into the wind.

Suffice to say, we have the worst Government in Ontario’s history and the worst Government in US history.

Young Trudeau’s Government will never occupy that special place for Canada’s Federal Government – since his late Father, Pierre-Elliott, has a lock on it.

The Young-un though has a good chance of causing the most damage to the Canadian economy.

So that’s it – the Electorate has spoken and despite how misguided I believe it to be – I accept their decision and will move on.

The last bastion of common-sense remains the nation to our south where the right / left split is 45 / 55 and so still retains some hope that common sense prevails.  My focus will be here, as well as on important developments around the world.

I will though pay little or no attention to our own country which has taken itself out of play. 

Enjoy the ride My Fellow Lefty Canadians; you have paid dearly for it.

As I see it…

Deja Vu Yes!… But Why?

Well Not Entirely, But We Do Have A Trudeau Lodging At 24 Sussex Again.

And it begs the question – WHY?

But there is an important difference this time, the new occupant – Young Trudeau, thankfully lacks his father’s intellect so will not structurally damage Canada the way his dad did; YT will confine his activities to matters of wrecking the economy.

Speaking first about his father – Pierre – he was one of the prime reasons I came to Ottawa to work at Progressive Conservative Party Head Quarters in the hope of helping get the Elder out of Office.

The 1984 Election of Brian Mulroney saw that come pass with his massive win of 212 seats.

I was working at the time as a small time lawyer in rural Ontario and had clients losing their homes / their farms and jobs as interest rates topped 22%.  Trudeau Sr. made it clear though that his only interest was in bringing home the Constitution.

With it, he added the Charter of Rights which has only served to restrict our rights and freedoms which were once adequately protected by the virtue of a thousand years of Common Law.

But the real reason for my Blog today is to answer the question Why – as in Why did the Young Lad garner a majority in yesterday’s election.

I have heard the pundits – and read the letters to editors and they all have their considered opinions from ‘Harper was just too controlling to Trudeau is just so darn good looking’, but they miss the point.

The fact is 70% of Canadians identify themselves as centre left, leaving now a scant 30% in the ranks of the Conservatives.

In earlier Blogs, I have spoken of this as the one third //  two third split but over the course of this Election the numbers have worsened and will not return to balance until Canada literally finds itself flat out on the floor like a skid-row drunk.

The USA too is on the cusp of tilting left – and I used to say it was about a 50/50 split between Conservative and Liberal Progressive thought.  After nearly two terms of Obama – the number now is more like 45 / 55.  The Republicans still have a shot at winning next year’s Presidential Election but the split definitely favours a repeat for the Dems.

So who are these Progressives?

I am glad you asked.

They are the Trade Unions – the numerous organizations that applied to Elections Canada for intervener status to advertise against the ruling Tories;

They are the nearly 4 million workers who are employed by governments – add spouses, voting age kids and that number doubles;

They are your next door neighbour who has his / her hand out for more all the while not caring a whit who is going to have to pay the freight or what damage it will cause to Canada’s economy;

They are the Media who have yet to find a Conservative they like, nor a Progressive that they will not fawn over;

They are the Provinces / the Territories / and the Cities which think Federal Dollars are Free Dollars and demand ever more;

They are the Indian Bands who demand more and more money to cure their ails which you and I know, will not;

And They are the so-called Elites who think Politically Correct and buy into all things left.

So from where I am sitting, it will be a long time before sanity returns to our country and only then when we are all on our knees – economically speaking.

As I see it…
