  1. Maybe people don’t want a second Librano Dictator.
    Naw, can’t be. Grab some popcorn and beer and watch, monkeys will fly out of his butt any time now.

  2. Most Canadians, especially Le Quebecois, are willing to the hot air coming out of these people with a sort of bemused interest, but they’re sure as hell not going to cough up the price of an excellent Montreal meal to do so.

  3. Well, I guess the ticket price has to be high to cover Shiny Pony’s speaker’s fee! LOL!!

  4. “they’re sure as hell not going to cough up the price of an excellent Montreal meal to do so.”
    It’s at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, and typically the food is dreadful.

  5. If he’s the second coming of Pierre, shouldn’t he have a red rose in his lapel, at least to show some Liberal colours instead of just the conservative blue-on-white?
    Or is he just playing to the Quebecers with those colours? If so, wrong shade of blue.

  6. It doesn’t matter, the polls are clear. On the current course, PM Trudeau is inevitable.

  7. Yes, but Eye On A Crazy Planet has a report that there will be a Zombie Trudeau walk this coming Saturday:
    Half zombie walk, half political event. Pierre Trudeau has come back from the dead to challenge his own son for the leadership of the Liberal Party. Join us in true Zombie Walk fashion as we lurch through the streets of Toronto to descend on the Metro Convention Centre during the Liberal Party “National Leadership Showcase.” Recreate the 1968 Liberal Party Convention—with the undead. See Zombie Trudeau give the most rousing speech possible for someone a decade in the ground.

  8. It doesn’t matter, the polls are clear.
    That’s what I said, much to my chagrin, about Wild Rose last April here in Alberta.
    Who exactly are they polling except shut-ins with landlines anyway?
    Now donations, that’s a more tangible way to assess support.

  9. so the Liberal Shiny Pony is turning out to be their Trojan Horse.
    Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of crooks, scammers, schemers, dreamers and dodgers.

  10. Great photo Kate, that should become your official Trudeau photo you use for any stories about the one.

  11. What in hell is wrong with people! Can Canadians NOT recognize the greatest statesman since Disraeli?
    This guy,Trudeau, is Churchill, Roosevelt,Degaulle, Ben Gurion,Stalin, and Daddy,all wrapped in one shiny package with nice hair and teeth!
    And he couldn’t run a lemonade stand.

  12. That beard the goof has grown is exactly the same image as those masks that the OWS reprobates wore last summer. Is he trying to tell us something? If so, the message to me is loud and clear. Say clear of the idiot.

  13. I’m enjoying watching this clown show.. No to be complete, somebody needs to goad the muzzies and the feminazi’s to start a shouting fistfight on the floor of the conference.

  14. The venue will be filled, that’s a given. Even if the majority of attendees are street people and the homeless that were lured off the streets by a hot meal and a warm place to defecate.

  15. I hope he does well enough to stuff the NDP though. It wasn’t the Liberals who leaked the UAE talks we were in for troops in Afghanistan after all. Shiny Pony at least has hilarity upsides that could go up even more if he won.

  16. I noticed when you read the latest poll carefully most all of his support are the Twatterverse and Facecrook crowd. 99% click friend then dump and run onto the next Twatterverse. Generally they don’t show up on voting day.

  17. If all of Justin’s followers would donate a dollar….or maybe if all of Justin’s followers could talk their parents into donating a dollar,the convention would maybe break even.
    C’mon young Liberals, it is time to show your worth.

  18. Looking with one eye closed, Shiny resembles Vladimir Lenin the Russian commie, squinting with both eyes, he resembles Che Guevera, the other commie, but with eyes wide open, he looks a lot like Daddy, the “homegrown” commie, Pierre.
    And Canadian MSM still slobbering, just like they did for Pierre decades ago.

  19. A party that panders to the selfish socialist voters whose core belief is that someone else should do the heavy lifting is not going to be very successful at raising money.
    After the elimination of the $1.75 per vote subsidy any party that courts the entitlement crowd is going to have a very small war chest to fight an election.
    By eliminating the per vote subsidy Harper has used their fundamental philosophy of greed and selfishness against them.
    If they do finally wake up and realize that voluntarily contributing is part of the duties and responsibilities of a voter and citizen then they may contribute, but if they realize that then they will be more likely to contribute to a conservative party, not to a left wing party.

  20. The downside is, if the voters decide one day that they’re po’d at the Conservatives,they just might vote against Harper,and the noisiest magpie in the Opposition ranks is Trudeau.
    The do-nothing,know-nothing clown could actually become PM!

  21. as an ignorant Yank, who can’t even identify his own State representatives in a crowd of two:
    tell me please that this photo is a joke, and not of the mentioned CDN pol.
    please.
    OMFG, I would not let this pervert on my front porch. Beta male, dribbling his macchiato frappe down his hemp shirt, with the worst roach-patch I’ve ever seen on a Caucasian boy.

  22. There was NO photoshopping of that photo. It was his “look” for a time. He thought he looked pretty cool.
    P.S. Did you discover the little “surprise” I added when you hover over the photo with your mouse cursor?! 🙂

  23. Surely the ticket price isn’t the sticking point, but this
    strange new concept of paying one’s own way with funds that
    don’t trace back to some sort of offsetting taxpayer fueled
    fed or prov government Liberal patronage slush fund?

  24. Liberal males won’t leave their basements to vote, why would they assume they’d pay a kings ransom to pat Justine’s hair?

  25. The Ceeb is reporting that the convention hall will be full, even if the LPC did have to give tickets away…In a related note, bums near the convention center are inexplicably all sporting red t-shirts…

  26. Conservative ad suggestion: “Would you buy a hooker from this man?”
    All he needs is a pink hat with a feather.

  27. I bet his biggest challenge every day is pulling himself away from his mirror in the am. I can tell you right now what his favourite song is, “To Know Me Is To Love Me, For I’m One H*ll Of A Guy”…

  28. Some people may have fond memories of Trudeau. Not here in Alberta. He never got one seat for the Liberal while in power. Just another horses ass from out East , pretending he cares about Canada when its really Ontario he only is concerned with. That with a dose of fear about Quebec.. Always a liberal obsession.
    Hios Father almost killed the whole economy with the NEP, just to spite the West.

  29. Hey RD, glad to see you back.
    The task for JT will be to cull votes from Dippers and the CPC. I’m not aware how this can be done in today’s political climate. IF PMSH fails to balance the budget, who will those like me turn to for fiscal responsibility? JT? Okay, I’ll accept that premise. So, based on the premise that JT and the Liberals are going to put forth a responsible deficit cutting austerity budget; and, for a little icing on the cake I don’t have to listen to Liberal Back Benchers bloviating about abortion; I might, just might consider voting for the Liberals.
    BUT… how is that going to sway voters from the Dippers (mostly in Quebec)? Dippers moving to the Liberals to vote for an austerity budget? Please! How can PT purchase votes in Quebec and Torontard, while at the same time draw-in those new CPC voters from Ontario and the rest in the West who are disappointed with PMSH’s failure to slay the deficit?
    There is only one way….Stardust.
    I’m not worried. IMO PT is the best thing that could have happened to PMSH and the CPC. The people who voted for the CPC majority do not want a “Shiny New Pony”. They own homes, and want to retire one day! If they did, they’d not have voted CPC just recently. The “Shiny New Pony” crowd are those that voted for Jack Layton over Iffy. Period! In the end, I believe most Canadians are grateful for Canada’s steadiness in recent years, and are grateful for the steady leadership of PMSH.JMO

  30. Indeed, welcome back, Revnant Dream! My parents have been the hospital somewhat in the past few years. But your situation sounded much more serious. So glad to know you survived that ordeal and once again are contributing to the conversation.
    Wishing you a truly wonderful 2013!!!
    Robert

  31. You bugger, yes I did.
    I’d also point to a couple of absolutely hilarious quotes from the article:
    “Jeff Jedras, Deborah Coyne’s campaign manager, said their team found the price “somewhat on the high side” but that they understand the party is trying not to lose money on major events.”
    Well, welcome to Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario! Could there possibly be a more revealing statement about how the Liberals would run the nation’s finances if (horrors) they were ever returned to office?
    And:
    “At Liberal headquarters, the party is officially standing by the ticket prices.
    “The Showcase is as close as it gets to the Leadership Convention experience: closing speeches, Liberals all together under one roof, the swag, hospitality suites. And Attendees are given an exclusive opportunity to vote on site before voting opens nationally,” Sarah Bain, the party’s press secretary, wrote in an email.
    “Officially” standing by the ticket prices? Sounds like a moving target to me (what Mackenzie King said). Why not just, er, have a leadership convention, if that’s your sales promotion? That would be a lot closer to, you know, “the Leadership Convention experience”, don’t you think?
    I hate to mention this story again, but, as I’m done peeing myself laughing, I have to: I bought four absolute cheap seat tickets ($200. each) to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in the same room (as Mr. Trudeau, Jr.’s coronation) in May, 2009. I took my wife, my sister and a political/golfing friend, only to find the room packed with 4,000 people. My wife, who’s the sociable one, spoke with everybody around us, (“Hi, my name’s Luella from Stratford. May I ask you who you are here to see?”). To a person — literally — they said, “George W. Bush”. The people next to us were from a great second generation family originally from a certain southern European country, who happened to own, at the time at least, a very prominent small business in Toronto.
    Suffice it to stay that Bill tried to play the role of all previous James’s, whereas George played, brilliantly, our Daniel Craig.
    All we have to do now is stick to policy, and we will get through.

  32. CAN YOU PLEASE JUXTAPOSITION THIS WITH THE RON PAUL SPEECH IN CALGARY SET TO HAPPEN PRETTY SOON THAT WOULD BE FABULOUS!!!
    Anyone from here going??

  33. I cringe at the thought of this twit ever becoming PM. A guy who is pursuing a legacy of his own with not care about every day people. It will be sad day in history if this ever happens.

  34. You know Paul, a sentence of all caps like that is shouting in the blogosphere.
    FYI YMMV

  35. If Twit Trudeau becomes Canada’s PM while Zero is POTUS, it’ll be the end of the world.

  36. Sorry oz. hope i didn’t do any damage to your ear hole! :p
    but would that not be an excellent juxstapostion?
