While there's undeniably a straight line between any two points swirling in Brownian Motion, it's the three-in-a-row that's convincing (see "trifecta" above). Still, any dynasty has to start somewhere, and I suppose father-to-son does, minimally, qualify. I wouldn't credit Peter authorship in his betrayal of the federal PCs; picking through the political dumpster (where both Mulroney's PCs and Day's Reform-a-CRAP Alliance awaited recycling) would not have seemed particularly appealing to one so dynastically deluded. No, it had to be Elmer at the fudge controls, baiting the demoralized Tory rump with his own affable, kinda dumb but wholesomely loyal and obedient son--- then came the switch to the sullen neo-right ideologue Harper whose "Honour's-For-Chumps" ethos those Tories would have found repellant.<br /><br />The H-boy's prob'ly too busy fixing his fuck-ups and fucking-up his fixes to reflect on the ConKarm that flows from that seminal coup. It's no coincidence the two ministries awarded Elmer II were the seedbeds of the most noxious vines to have entangled Steve yet: the growing boondoggle in all things military, and the un-eradicated injustice of murdered and missing First Nations women. He seems to have been genuinely surprised at the spread of these weeds and their invasive cross-pollinations like veterans' affairs and Idle-No-More. Now he'll arrive tattered at the campaign proper looking like the hounds just chased him through the prickle patch--- whilst the baying gets louder and louder.<br /><br />Don't happen much, but I'll bet this is one instance where Steve and I share sentiments: if indeed there is a MacKay dynasty, may it be circumstantial and short.scotty on denmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-46355775013589800532015-03-05T18:35:55.089-08:002015-03-05T18:35:55.089-08:00There's something querulous and mean-spirited ...There's something querulous and mean-spirited about Pete, that's captured in the recording of his temper tantrum in the House of Commons when he throws down 40 reports about Missing and Murdered Indigenous women on the floor.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuBHQAmfMfg <br /><br />And then that wedding photo, evidence of his delusions, a grandiose Kennedy-dynasty-wannabe politician gesture, a trophy bride pursued by him and his pack of perps-to-be.<br /><br />Urgh.deBeauxOshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331662556005876488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-79593103275003531222015-03-05T10:37:37.117-08:002015-03-05T10:37:37.117-08:00I always wondered what kind of deal Peter and Stev...I always wondered what kind of deal Peter and Steve cemented (when Peter betrayed his own party to Steve's) that would so durably grant his incompetence such immunity. It would be ironic if it was a signed agreement, but, on the other hand, without such a cheat-sheet, you'd have to wonder who's job it is to constantly have to spell things out for him.<br /><br />Is there some kind of formula here? Nepotism times duplicity times complacency times incompetence equals "dogs are more loyal"...?<br /><br />If ever there was warranted a 'Most Unwarranted Bio-Pic Category' it would have to be awarded to something like "Oh That Peter!", or "Peter Just Being Peter".<br /><br />I find it hard to believe Peter could manage all these appointments himself---he seems so care-free.scotty on denmannoreply@blogger.com
