Liberal Party Takes Lead in Polls

[PIK]

Seems the woman voters is going to keep them in power again. Hopefully not.

Interesting interview with conservative columnist Andrew Coyne on the conservative platform The Hub. I don’t agree with all of  Coyne’s opinions but I often find his analyses informative and thoughtful and most importantly fair

 

Andrew Coyne on Poillievre vs. Carney, Trump, and the future of the conservative movement 

“Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne joins Hub Dialogues to talk about why the Conservatives seem to be struggling to find their footing in an election that doesn’t include Justin Trudeau, but does include Donald Trump. He also talks to us about Trump, the future of journalism, and his upcoming book,“The Crisis of Canadian Democracy”, which explains why our democratic institutions are not as strong as we believe them to be.”

The Liberal leader wants to give a $150,000,000 bribe to CBC-Radio-Canada during the election so the police must immediately arrest him and go to the British Isles beyond 12 miles from the coast to confiscate Marc Carney's money to pay his taxes.

Coyne's excellent.  He's one of the main reasons I ever got a Globeandmail subscription.  This is a conservative that didn't join the circus.  Where are they now in politics?

I've always had respect for Coyne's thought on things. Way back in the day when the old now defunct National Post forum from which our forum is rooted he once mused on At Issue while covering a corruption scandal that he could understand why someone might suggest using cameras and microphones to keep politicians honest. I had recently written a letter to the Nat Post editor that made letter of the day on the topic.

They're still there, apparently in a state of disarray but trying to find a voice that articulates a rational counter to the dingbats. Another similarly rational conservative I respect is David Frum.

Rex Murphy was great back in the day too but lost it near the end.

I think we all understand why someone might suggest that. It's because they're stupid

No, Coyne was acknowledging leaving things to trust alone was a mugs game.

Kid, that was his way of telling you that you  were stupid without telling you  

Nobody disputes but trusting politicians would be foolish. But suggesting they would wear body cameras sings to a level of stupidity and foolishness that previously had not been discovered by modern science.
