Heck of physical make over in the last two years too…like he’s hit puberty of something? Kent Clark to his alter-identity to make him less Poindexter to certain demographics…right down to the Arthur Fonzerelli white T-Shirts to go with the white cowboy hat, etc…almost “Pretty Woman” like in the transformation.😳
That was a thing when I was in service. I always notice that an RAF officer, even if he was from London's East End or the wilds of the border, by the time he made colonel (or their equivalent), he spoke with and Oxbridge accent. In the USAF, an officer born and raised in Boston, by the time he made colonel, would speak with a Texas twang.

It's even better than TrueDope shaving his covid beard for an election.

Yep. Hell, after just three days in Scotland I sounded like I was born there. Probably didn't hurt that my mom was Scottish and I grew up reading Scottish comics with the accent written into the dialogue though.

…& our best pick of the current litter too. Crazy but true. Maybe someone somewhere, hidden under a rock or behind a bush might be better, but the current crop are what we get to choose from, Kent Fonzerelli is our guy.
There are lots better. Unfortunately, they are not prepared to stand in the spotlight for the meager pay.

House of Commons made it through the first day of the Fall sitting so far now today. Liberal House leader Karina Gould kicked off the fall sitting of Parliament Monday by calling Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre a "fraudster" and a "bully" and accusing him of holding a secret agenda that Canadians won't like.

Is it “Abortion” or “Gun Control” or maybe even “Aborting Gun Control” even? "What I heard yesterday from Mr. Poilievre was so over the top, so irresponsible, so immature and something only a fraudster would do," Gould said Monday in Ottawa.

She said the Conservative leader's attacks on carbon pricing are an effort to "distract Canadians from his real agenda … because he knows that they won't like it if they find out."

Gould was referring to a speech Poilievre delivered to his caucus Sunday morning in which he said the government's plan to increase the carbon price would cause a "nuclear winter" for the economy.

"There would be mass hunger and malnutrition with a tax this high … Our seniors would have to turn the heat down to 14 or 13 C just to make it through the winter," Poilievre said.

"Inflation would run rampant and people would not be able to leave their homes or drive anywhere." Here’s the CBC Link:
She accused the Conservative leader of bullying reporters and promising to defund the CBC in a time of "incredible disinformation." She said that when Poilievre is challenged by journalists, he responds "as a bully, as someone who will not stand to scrutiny."

As the House of Commons resumed, Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives demanded a carbon tax election, while Justin Trudeau claimed the Opposition leader doesn’t care about Canada or Canadians.

“After nine years of NDP-Liberals, taxes, up, costs, up, crime’s up, time’s up, and now he wants a 300% carbon tax hike all the way up to 61 cents a litre,” Poilievre said, as Question Period began again.

“Why not let Canadians choose a common-sense Conservative government that will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime now?”

We all knew that question was coming. What wasn’t known was how the Liberals would try to frame the Conservatives going forward. Now we know, as uncaring and lying partisans just out for themselves and their rich friends.

In other words, the standard Liberal attacks on Conservatives. It doesn’t matter that it’s all lies; it’s worked in the past, and Trudeau’s Liberals desperately hope it will work again.

I feel victimized.
