No one's really paying attention, what with the second Elizabethan age ending and Ukraine staging a breathtaking blitzkrieg — but the Conservative Party of Canada held its leadership election today. And the ever-unappealing Pierre Poliviere, aka PP, won it.
It wasn't close: Pee Pee won with 69 percent of the vote. Which means that the Tory party in Canada has gone completely Trumpy now.
This would generally not alarm us, since a big majority of Canadians say they reject Pee Pee's brand of politics. But we Americans know from bruising experience what it's like to see the opposition party choose someone who appears totally unelectable, only to find out later that they were wrong.
As for the Liberals, Justin Trudeau has been Prime Minister for seven years. There won't be an election in Canada for another two. So we're thinking that in a year's time it would probably be good for him to step back and turn the reins over to Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland. That's a premiership we're definitely looking forward to. We cats PURR.
