  • Taking A Long Walk Off Of A Short Pierre

    Last night’s results of the Canadian federal election was eye-opening, to say the least. I say this as a disinterested observer, as if I’m watching the Super Bowl with my team not playing in it. I’m just putting on my amateur political punditry hat. This race was Pierre Poilievre’s to lose. Talk about snatching defeat…
