Politics and Soap Operas,What’s the Difference? #bcpoli #onpoli #canpoli

Firstly my apologies for not blogging for a bit as I have had a pinched sciatica in my back and it has been difficult to sit and type much let alone blog.

The time off as given me cause for thought and it begs the question: Is there any difference between politics and a soap opera?

I recall listening to folks who have said they followed such and such a soap opera for years and nothing much ever changes, that they could walk away for a few months and while a few characters are different the plot is still what and where it was when they left.

While I have been off, Justin is still saying dumb things, pretending he is a leader in a party that is supposedly inconclusive but not including those folks who are pro-life unless of course Justin says its okay.

That sounds a bit like he’s a chip off the ole block head and a lot like his dad was back in the 60’s and 70’s. ( not the pro-life or choice part,just the penchant for saying dumb things)

Meanwhile in the Ontario election, poll after poll is released and says the PC’s are ahead, the Liberals are ahead, the NDP is picking up steam, the NDP is losing steam etc.

Geesh so what are you to believe?

Let’s ask Dimitri Pantazopoulos the pollster who has a penchant for getting it right as he did in the 2013 BC Election;

“Some insight into numbers being thrown around in Ontario:
1. I am dubious of the numbers given the disparity between pollsters (this underlies the comments that follow).
2. The “best Premier” question is meaningless. Only one of the candidates has ever actually BEEN Premier. So, of course she is chosen more often as the “best Premier.” That is a wasted question.
3. Time for a change number and wrong track number would seem to indicate that the ON Lib ceiling is in the range of 30%-34%. This would suggest a PC victory
4. The fact that the NDP are so high, indicate a strong likelihood of another Liberal minority.
Does it sound like I am hedging? Yes, I am. Mainly because of the amount of contradictory information in the public domain.”

So what else is happening?

The Nomination race for the CPC in Oakville North-Burlington is once again clouded with alleged shenanigans.

That’s it right?

Well Rob Ford’s car was spotted out for a drive while he is in re-hab…..

So I ask,is there any difference between politics and soap operas?

You tell me?

Justin Trudeau: A Chip Off The Old Block! #canpoli #bcpoli #trudeau

Two Peas in a Socialist Pod?

A chip off the old block, life father like son. Call it what you want.

Seems Justin Trudeau isn’t so much different than his communist sympathizing Father.

Look what that brought us.

The National Energy Program, a prime Minister waving the middle finger at the constituents in the train station and the biggest fuddle duddle of them all the near break up of Canada due to Trudeau’s constitutional mangling.

Son Justin has already shown his lack of respect for things Canadian when he called Minister of Environment Peter Kent a “piece of Shit” in the house of commons.

He has now gone on record with his admiration for China ( communist China where people are dying to leave and move here).

Kinda makes you wonder what else is going on in his head ( apart from entertaining women).

Perhaps the Second Coming of the National Energy Program?

After all like father like son.

Isn’t once enough?
