Election Update #2 The Manchurian Candidate

The Canadian Election, What We Know So Far:

Trudeau plans to boost pony industry, claims Senator

In tried and trusted clichés, unelected Conservative Senator Denise Batters, tweeted Trudeau would give all Canadians a pony next.

Must admit I got excited about this one, because a free pony is certainly an upgrade on the three centimetres of pipeline Trudeau has given us, and I’d have to say to Denise and her fellow Conservatives, is better than a tax credit on a pony.

Yes, we’ve had some Conservative policy and I’m already lost at all the tax credits Andrew Scheer will give us, so god knows what I’ll actually do when it comes to tax season. There is of course only one reason for tax credits and that’s to get you to hate paying taxes. You spend hours and hours on this stuff only to realize you’re not going to benefit unless you earn three times as much as you do.

Andy also wants to make buying a home more affordable by creating a housing bubble that will burst and lower real estate prices by 50%. I would say it’s novel but...

And how will Andy’s Conservative’s pay for his boondoggle? He has a plan. What is that plan? He can’t tell us. Can anyone scream, Boris. It’s amazing what you learn at the dentist with the sound down.

Andy’s on screen first for the most time, Justin on second with something about businesses with a zero carbon footprint not paying taxes (which makes me think we shouldn’t go zero emissions), Jagmeet Singh got about three seconds standing behind a lectern that said climate change or something like that, and Elizabeth May (leader of the Greens) who might have something to say on climate policy didn’t appear at all. 

She was replaced by Kevin O’Leary’s wife, alleged to have killed two people in a boating accident. These four news items cycled before my eyes for an hour, so the next time I see Elizabeth May I’ll think she’s an alleged killer. 

Then I quibbled the dental bill as $75 is not 20% of $319. Turns out I can do basic arithmetic. Turned out the insurance company can do politics. 

Welcome to Canada (except you, Lacey Evans).
