I've Been Away....So...

Time for a little update:

First, Alberta's Election today - when the ballots are counted this evening we will see Jason Kenney's Conservative Party cruise to majority status.  News-casters, Pundits and the like are trying their best to say it will be a toss up - but they are only seeking ratings.  The Dye is Cast.

Second, Donald Trump has made two more critical faux pas:  He came out saying he was going to resurrect his attack on Obama Care using the Courts. Not only that, but he plans to await until after the election to introduce his own plan.  So he is not only helping the Dems to make health care a bigger election issue than it already is but at the same time is offering zip for Americans to consider in its stead.  Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.  He also continues to disrupt trade patterns via his totally illogical tariff implementations.  How better to destroy the world's commerce ... eventually this will engulf the U.S. along with everyone else.  The guy has a death wish.

Third, Young Trudeau continues to shoot himself in the foot.  I need not repeat all of his recent blunders but only remind you that His Party is dead in the Water and the only question remaining is whether it will allow him even to run for the Prime Ministership come October.   My guess right now is that the odds stand at even but Trudeau is doing his utmost to turn those odds against him.  I encourage him to keep up the good work.

Fourth and last - the Tory Opposition Leader until just a few weeks ago had little chance of beating Trudeau - he was bland and really nothing more than a smile in a nice suit.  All that changed with YT's recent shenanigans...overnight the electorate is actively looking for bland and Sheer of course has all the relevant qualifications.

As I See It...
