Today Justin Trudeau tossed the Liberal Senators out of the party<\/strike> caucus.<\/p>\n
Ask yourself why? \u00a0Do you think a party that had control of the Senate for 65 of the last 70 years \u00a0would be concerned? \u00a0Well there are two reasons.<\/p>\n
1) \u00a0The Conservatives have been in power long enough to put a lot of Senators in the house and it may be decades before the Liberals have a majority in the Upper House again. \u00a0So in other words, it was fine when they ran the show, but now that they don’t Trudeau wants to change things. \u00a0Sort of like taking your ball and going home.<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
2) \u00a0After Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin had their names dragged around the mud pit for the last year, the audit on all the Senators will be coming out soon. \u00a0And it’s not going to look good for Mr. Trudeau’s Liberal Senators. \u00a0I am predicting that the Liberal Senators are the worst culprits of abuse in the upper house and that some may make Duffy and Wallin look like angels.<\/p>\n
So what does Justin do? \u00a0He fires his Liberal Senate Caucus BEFORE we find out that they were naughty in an effort to distance them from the party brand. \u00a0But what Justin doesn’t realize is no one is going to consider them anything but Liberal and now he has gone and blown his load early. \u00a0If he had waited for the audit and then tossed this lot out on their ear after it is revealed that they were terrible spenders he would have looked like a true leader.<\/p>\n
Ah well. \u00a0He still has his hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
