Will Elizabeth May get the same?

First it was Jack Layton, the woebegone leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP).  Then it was John Horgan, the maladroit leader of B.C's freak NDP party and premier of that bizarre province for two years.

Will the Green Party's hapless Elizabeth May be next?  I mean, how far down the totem will we go?  Mayors?  Local councillors?  High school teachers?  

I'm talking about State Funerals.  These n'er do wells were all given them.  Why?  Who knows, but it must all be about politics and votes.  In Canada, a State Funeral is supposed to be given to prime ministers, members of cabinet and governors general who die while in office.  Last time I checked, neither Layton nor Horgan fit this description.  

And as for May, well forget about it.  She is the one and only member of the Greens in the House, but judging by how cavalierly such funerals are meted out, I would not be surprised if she gets one too.

Did I ever tell you about the time I was cornered at a cocktail party by May?  Gawd!  I thought I would die on the spot of boredom!  She blathered on and on and said nothing, while I fortified and steeled myself with a few glasses of wine.  It was torture!  

I mean seriously.  Canada has lost its pathetic way.  

And speaking of pathetic, Justin Trudeau has finally resigned.  But not really because he's going to hang around until the end of March while a new leader is chosen.  So, when Trump gets into office, we'll be trounced because we will have a lame-duck eunuch of a prime minister bumming around.

"Forgotten, but not gone", is how JFK once described  a hanger on still in his employ.  That'll be Trudeau.  As I have told you, my stepson played soccer in the same league as little Justin in the early eighters.  He was a spoiled brat then.  One morning, as Margaret was lounging stoned on the pitch sidelines, Justin picked up a rock and smashed it over my stepson's head.  What did Margaret do?  Why, she roared with laughter and did nothing to discipline her wretched, spoiled child.

Our still PM

That's why he turned out as he did.  A narcissistic, entitled man-child who has brought our country to the edge of ruin.  His hubris knows no bounds.  B thinks it will take eight years for us to recover, but Justin is determined to continue to wreak havoc to ensure Pollievre inherits an unholy mess.

The poor guy.

And as for Mark Carney, the best description I can come up with is "unelectable snob".  Everyone goes on about his brilliant career, but remember, he was appointed to a five-year term as governor of the Bank of England, but fired after just two.  Ever wonder why?  Yeah, exactly.
