SOME NON-PREDICTIONS FOR 2020

Sorry for my tardiness in supplying my (non) predictions for the year we are now well into.

As you will see, I thought I would approach this topic a little differently this year...rather make predictions, as in other years, I thought I would approach the coming new year / new decade with non-predictions such as:

But before I begin....this past year saw my son save my life with his aggressive cpr so he can no longer complain about anything I say,do, or write about...It Is All His Fault.  So please bear that in mind if you find things you may disagree with below...it is not my fault ...rather Scott's. 😌

1. There will not be a federal election this coming year despite the fact that the Liberal Government finds itself in minority territory the main reason being none of the opposition parties want one and will not want an election for some time yet.  The other reason is that the Libs will find themselves in the popularity doldrums and thus in no position to call a snap election;

2.  Trump will not lose America's General Election this coming November thanks mostly to the Democrats antics surrounding Impeachment and the plethora of moderate dem leadership candidates;

3.  New Oil and Gas Pipelines in Canada will not get built this coming year despite Prime Minister Trudeau's promise to lend a more sympathetic ear to the economic needs of Western Canada;

4.  Brexit will no longer be an issue for the Brits;

5.  China will not release the two Canadian hostages taken in revenge for the house arrest of Huawei's Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver but she will no longer find herself in Canada - rather the USA;

6.  The economy of the United States will falter.  It has simply gone up for too long;

7.  The World will not become a safer place: violence, resurrection will not end save for in Hong Kong where the Chinese Leadership's patience will not continue;

8.  Venezuela's Dictator - Nicholas Maduro, one way or the other, will not remain;

9.  Peter MacKay - slated to be coronated Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada - will not be so;

10.  The world economy will not be robust no thanks to President Trump's Tariff Antics;

11.  Alberta will not separate from Canada although over the year separatist sentiment will not improve...it will worsen;

12.  Ottawa's Light Rail will finally not breakdown continually;

13.  The Coronavirus will not get lessen, it will get worse despite efforts by Health Experts to down-play the danger;

14.  If John Baird enters the Leadership Race for the Conservative Party of Canada ...he will not lose;

15.  In this same Leadership Race, the Social Conservative Vote will not embarrass itself.
