I am sick and tired of our political leaders trying to exploit the on-going pandemic as a justification to go to the polls to gain power in legislatures and now the House of Commons. It is of either shear ignorance or arrogance for PM Photo Op to call an election, an election that was called seeking a liberal majority based on the performance during the Covid crisis.
What pure fallacy to think that based on performance to date that somehow PM Photo Op and his band of merry eunuchs deserve a majority. We are not even done with this pandemic and yet our PM thinks his job to date earns him and the Liberals a majority for five years? What does he think we are all stupid? No seriously at times I think he and the Liberal elite think that. I also believe that of other party leaders, that they have an inherent belief that Canadians are stupid or at least naïve about the realities of today.
So let’s address the question of, has PM Photo Op and his band of merry eunuchs done a great job of managing the pandemic? I think when you look at it overall as I have it looks like they did deal with some aspects very well and the messaging about masks and vaccines has been pretty consistent. The roll out of money to business and individuals was not consistent or well performed. Billions was paid out in Covid benefits to people and companies that did not qualify. Some that got benefits had income from sources like RRIF’s pensions, etc, who were retired but the government still gave many benefits, costing billions more. The fiscal response was similar to dropping bags of money out of a helicopter. Some will fall on the intended target, but much more was scattered wildly about. To me this was a fiscal fail by PM Photo Op and his gang of eunuchs.
Now we are not even out of this pandemic and we have no idea as too when this will ever happen, cases are up and so are hospitalizations but Liberal arrogance thinks based on performance to date, let’s call an election.
This is a country with lots of issues not just Covid and the response to other issues has been anemic at best. Consider other issues that also need to be addressed: the Opioid crisis, homelessness, education, health care, military defense, indigenous issues, climate change, the economy and of course Afghanistan just to name a few of the issues we still face on a daily basis.
What about these issues and why is nothing concrete being done here on any of these? Really ask yourself, when is the last time any of these were properly addressed? PM Photo Op said that he can campaign and deal with the crisis in Afghanistan, while I maintain he does not have the ability to handle more than one thing at a time. Months ago, the U.S. said it was pulling out by May 1 and then this deadline was extended to August 31. So until the recent fall of Afghanistan in 11 days this month, we see the Canadian government caught almost off guard, like they never expected anything to happen. What were they thinking leaving this to the last minute and now it looks like a total cluster f@#$K in the way this was handled. So on this, I give PM Photo Op and his merry eunuchs a fail.
So rather than go through each point in exhaustive detail, I will just point them out and how I think the government has handled it.
- Opioid Crisis; Fail, they still have not figured out how to deal with it even though other countries like Portugal have a good road map as too how to fix it.
- Homelessness. Fail, all talk about new housing but little comes about except by provinces and cities, the Feds are very absent.
- Climate Change; Pass but barely as they have made no real plans as too how to cut CO2 other than the Carbon tax.
- Health Care; Pass, but the focus on Covid is still to the expense of everything else.
- Economy; Fail due to the handling of Covid benefits and gross overspending and no plan to get people off benefits and back to work.
- China and foreign policy. PM Photo Op is a wimp. Does not stand up to dictators as he should. The stereo typical Canadian always apologizing but when it comes to foreign policy our country lacks leadership to stand up and play hardball when needed, hence why two Canadians are being held in China and nothing has been done.
Again this is not an exhaustive list of all that our government has done successfully or failed, but it gives an idea as too the arrogance to call an election given how much has been and has not been accomplished since the last election (October 2019). An election that will cost it is estimated nearly $600 million dollars, again WTF PM Photo Op?
I don’t like elections being called during times like we are going through right now, given this is not being done as the result of a confidence motion or election deadline, this is motivated by politics and the need for recognition by PM Photo OP. While Covid has been a focus, this focus has been really at the expense of everything else that government is suppose to be managing.
Finally I think it in really poor taste to be having an election, with Fires ravaging BC. Towns have been destroyed (Lytton), many more families have lost their homes and then many more are living at evacuation shelters.
This political abuse and exploitation is a throwback to the days when PM Photo Ops Father ran the country with no concern or regard for the country and the situation, just contempt and fuddle duddle.
