Oxymoron

How can you have co-leaders?  There is only one leader of anything, but Elizabeth May can't accept that.  Her Green Party, if you can call it a party considering it only has one seat, elected Jonathan Pedneault as leader, but May refused to accept the results and go, so she anointed herself "co-leader".  

She did the same thing to previously-elected leader, Annamie Paul.  Remember her?  She quit in frustration with the ever-meddling May who just could not keep her yap shut and her mitts off policy.  

How stupid and petty.  However, I can attest to May's egomania because I was once trapped in conversation at a cocktail party by her.  It was unbearable!  She preached at me until I excused myself to go to the bathroom just to escape her maniacal tirade.

So, May will hang on and hang on until poor, beleaguered Pedneault will also throw in the towel.  What was the name of that Monty Python movie, in which the knight kept yelling even though his limbs were being hacked off one by one?  'Life of Brian'?  Can't remember, but that'll be May -- tilting at windmills and yelling into the abyss for the rest of time. 

How I hope she loses her seat!

Reminds me of how a psychiatrist described B's intrusive and noisy ex.  "This is a dog barking," she explained.  Well worth noting, as we are always surrounded by so many! 

By the way, The Green Party was rightly excluded from both debates, but the BLOC was allowed in.  Why was that?  The latter is not a national party, so it should also been excluded, but wasn't.  Both are irrelevant nationally, yet there was Blanchet, yapping away about subjects about which he has no business talking.  At least we were spared the odious May.   

Speaking of dictators, our premier, Danielle Smith, has kicked duly-elected MLA Peter Guthrie (our representative for Cochrane-Airdrie) out of caucus because he is calling for a public inquiry into the shenanigans surrounding inflated contract letting at the Alberta Hospital Service.  Smith won't hear of it, so she kicked him to the curb.  

That was a very dumb move because any whiff of scandal never goes away.  The smell just gets stronger.

We'll see how this plays out, but if Bev Oda can be fired for charging a $16 glass of orange juice to the public purse, big contracts handed to UCP friends will most certainly be Smith's downfall.  In vain, politicians always try to deny away scandal.  It never works.

Then there's the ludicrous Neil Young -- the ex-pat Canadian "balladeer" living in New York -- who has come out in favour of Mark Carney.  Huh?!  Sit down and be quiet, Neil.  Stay in New York with Daryl Hannah and don't bother people.  No one cares what you think. 

The irrelevant Young.
