1. I think this will do it. I think you've finally convinced the Liberals and the Media Party to like you. I hear @rosiebarton and the CBC will now drop her lawsuit against you.

This is the seventh day in a row you have danced to their tune. Do you not have one of your own?

2. This doesn't really say anything, though. It's all boilerplate. It's defensive. Does it move a single vote? Why have you been silent on the key issues of our era -- censorship, lockdowns, cancel culture, carbon taxes, UN/WHO misconduct? Because the CBC disapproves?
3. You will always be in a controversy, because you are a politician in an adversarial system. You cannot wish that away. What you can do is choose better battles -- ones where you're on the offensive and the Liberals are on the defensive. Why not try that?
4. I don't even know what you mean! When you're against Trump -- who do you mean? He's not in Canada. When you're against the "right" -- who do you mean? Whoever the Liberals the CBC tell you are off limits? Aren't you a party of the right? You are in a fetal position, begging.
5. Why not take a stand against lockdowns? Surely that would appeal to more Canadians than you connect with now. Why not talk against tech censorshi, and show Trudeau's connections to Silicon Valley's bullies? Why not stand up against cancel culture for real, not just in memes?
6. You can be for gay rights but still take a thoughtful stand against transgender extremism -- men in women's prisons; men playing in girls sports teams. You'd see a 5% pop in the polls for that alone.
7. How about taking a serious stand against his plans for mass, online censorship, and his oafish minister in charge, the convicted criminal @s_guilbeault? You'd actually get some real, earned support from media companies for that.
8. If you're intent on being anti-American, which I think it beneath you and any Conservative Party, why limit it to Trump who is gone in three days? Why not focus on Trudeau's deep connections to U.S. Democrat dirty tricksters?
9. Why not insist your critics come back from vacation, and actually work for a living by, you know, criticizing? You are silence on the largest issue of our era -- the lockdowns. Have you nothing to say about those?
10. But mainly: why don't you ignore the Media Party taunts. As in, shut off Twitter and get out of the bubble? Don't you see how you are being played like a fiddle by the Liberal war room?
11. Let me close with my quiz for Canadian political watchers. WITHOUT GOOGLING IT, can you name the Conservative critics for health, energy, environment, defence or foreign affairs? I literally have not met a single person who can -- I bet many Conservative MPs couldn't. Why?
12. Does the party not have any policy differences with Trudeau? Are critics not allowed to say anything controversial? Are they not allowed to talk at all? Are they in staycation mode? I'm guessing it's partly each of those -- and a completely partisan media culture in Ottawa.
13. If O'Toole is seeking the Media Party's permission to win, he won't get it. They won't stop calling him names either -- in fact, he's just proven he'll spend a week off-message at the slightest breeze. Expect them to do a lot more of it, now that they know how to provoke him.
14. The greatest conservative success in recent Canadian politics was Jordan Peterson. He was demonized by the Media Party (especially the CBC, including by the racist Wendy "N-word" Mesley). But he knew what he believed, so he couldn't be blown off course by some lame heckler.
15. And though he did do mainstream interviews, I know from observation that he literally did hundreds of alternative interviews. He would spend half an hour on an independent YouTube channel that would get more views that Wendy N-word Mesley, and would ask better questions too.
16. How about just turn off CBC News -- like 96.1% of Canadians have -- and be a normal human, instead of their most loyal servant?

More from Government

This article by Jim Spellar for @LabourList misses the point about why Labour needs to think seriously about constitutional reform - and have a programme for it ready for government.


The state of our constitution is a bit like the state of the neglected electric wiring in an old house. If you are moving into the house, sorting it out is a bit tedious. Couldn’t you spend the time and money on a new sound system?

But if you ignore the wiring, you’ll find that you can’t safely install the new sound system. And your house may well catch fire.

Any programme for social democratic government requires a state with capacity, and a state that has clear mechanisms of accountability, for all the big and all the small decisions that in takes, in which people have confidence.

That is not a description of the modern UK state.
Caveat: This article is sourced from @Daily_Express !!!

"End of Sturgeon?"

Frankly, an appropriate response from @NicolaSturgeon might be to quote the infamous Mark Twain response to an erroneous 'obituary' known to all...

"The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated."

https://t.co/Ce1xVVISR2

More accurately, the media have quoted:

"Ms Sturgeon said she had a “real job to do” and was focused on guiding Scotland through the Covid-19 pandemic."

It's very reassuring to hear that @scotgov and @ScotGovFM have prioritised safeguarding lives and Scotland, above all else.

"I’ll leave others to play games or politics. I have got a real job to do and people can decide themselves whether I am doing it well or not, but I am absolutely 100 per cent focused on leading this country through a pandemic."

💯% 😀👍

Making her priorities crystal clear!

“That’s what I’ve done since this time last year and it’s what I’m going to continue to do for absolutely as long as necessary.”

And again, making it absolutely crystal clear!

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
