Prime Minister Blackie Returns

As expected the Canadian people have returned a Liberal Minority government. You've elected Prime Minister Blackie Dress-up Game three times now, Cannucks. You don't ever get to make fun of the United States again, for anything. Stay on your side of the border.*

The Conservatives made a strong showing, with wet Erin O'Toole winning more of the popular vote than Justin. [A real big girl's blouse Erin is. -Ed] Maxime Bernier's PPC got over 800,000 votes, more than twice the Green's vote total. Overall Justin's 3rd ministry will look much like his second. As the great Rex Murphy has asked, what was the point of all this?

On a side note, it's remarkable that a Western Democracy can have an election, count all the votes and know the outcome within hours of the polls closing. America has a 3rd World electoral system run by imitation equatorial kleptocrats.  

We spent a good part of yesterday running our dance taxi service, and used the occasion to listen to bits of Use Your Illusion that we hadn't heard in 15 years. The albums are weird in this respect, the producers seem to have just ordered the songs any old way. It's as if Axl was tossing spaghetti against the wall and randomly putting it on the plate. The song order has no rhyme or flow. Or maybe it's just Axl's rhyme and flow and that's why one doesn't understand it.

Here's a GnR deep track just bristling with anger and fear of the music industry, Hollywood, and fame. Lost in the Garden of Eden sounds like a paranoid punk song. We love Duff and Slash singing over the refrain, and of course, 'The fire is burning and it's out of control, it's not a problem you can't stop it: rock n roll.'

An interesting and fun video, no? Intense and manic, just like Axl.

*That's Fidel Castro's kid. Pierre Trudeau was great in his own way, and he knew what to do with intransigent Qs (that is deliberate and calculated disrespect on this blog's part). 'Just watch me.'

Decision North

It's election day in Canada.

Polls indicate the conservatives will win a majority of seats. But will they win enough? 

In the last few days Justin has been running Operation Fear, warning about scary conservatives like Ontario premier Doug Ford and....Donald Trump. Remember Canadian Lib-Progs resent and envies the United States.

We had expressed fears that this was a repeat of Barry's 2012 election strategy of turning out every last Lena Dunham loving vomit breathed skank to vote for him. That strategy worked. But after consulting with our man on the ground in Canada, we now believe that this is a last ditch, flailing attempt by Justin to save his job.

We think that the election will return a narrow majority for the conservatives or a minority government, which will open a whole can of warms. Remember, a leftist will never accept defeat and go quietly and Justin's fellatio experts in the CBC are already laying the groundwork for him to stay if the cons win a minority.

We shall see if Stroock's Law about conservatives being underestimated in polls still holds up north. If it does, then Justin will have time to visit his biological father's grave in Cuba.
