You know what. I wear this. I wear this all summer.
You know what else? I’m not running for leadership of 33M people and an economy that is leading the world.
Oh, Shiny Pony!

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC
john g, in the comments;
2009: CBC Refuses to run CPC anti-Ignatieff attack ads. “We’ll only accept political advertising like that when there is an election campaign on,” he told Canwest. “We have generally pretty strict guidelines.”
2013: Justin Trudeau’s “teacher” ad aired on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada during the Ottawa/Philadelphia broadcast tonight, at least once. I must have missed Stephen Harper’s visit to Rideau Hall earlier today.

Oh, Shiny Pony! Or, Raed Jaser Not “Completely Excluded”
As Justin the Just put it:
…”There is no question that this happened because there is someone who feels completely excluded…”
Well, not that excluded (with video):
CBC News has confirmed that Canada tried nine years ago [under a Liberal government] to deport Raed Jaser, one of the two men accused in the Via Rail terror plot, but authorities didn’t proceed and later granted him permanent residency [and he was later pardoned under the Conservatives]…
Time now not to “commit sociology“, rather to ensure we can commit law enforcement.
Oh, Shiny Pony!
Look! A poll!
Latest on the Canadian Terrorism Plot
There are some interesting developments in the judicial proceedings against the two alleged terrorists:
A man accused of plotting with al-Qaida members in Iran to derail a train in Canada gave a rambling statement in a Toronto court Wednesday and appeared to be saying he does not recognize its jurisdiction.
“My comment is the following because all of those conclusions were taken out based on criminal code and all of us know that this criminal code is not a holy book,” Esseghaier said at the hearing Wednesday. “We cannot rely on the conclusions taken out from these judgments.”
In related news, Justin Trudeau has released a new advertisement in which he states, “I’m going to work hard to earn your trust.” That’s an interesting statement considering that a review of his Twitter account still has only this to say about the recent terrorism plot. That’s a rather peculiar way for the Shiny Pony to gain the trust of Canadians who are legitimately concerned about harm coming to themselves and their families. Perhaps if he become PM, our nation’s security services will be handed over to the unemployed folks of “Occupy” and all threats to Canada will be warded off by this nightly ritual.
Update: Why was Raed Jaser still here? (podcast discussion on the same)

Heh. “Now it may be objected that discussing ideas with Justin Trudeau is like discussing music with someone who can’t hear: pointless and a bit cruel.”

More: Despite a frantic, last-minute push by the Liberal party to sign up voters for its leadership race, the party appears set to have fewer voters for its race than the NDP did last year.
Oh, Shiny Pony!
The federal Liberal leadership race was supposed to help the third-place party connect with a new, younger generation of voters and expand its shrunken base.
But an analysis of those who’ve registered to vote thus far suggests it’s done neither.
Almost 60 per cent are 50 years of age or older.
