Canada Right and Wrong

Canadian Politics – go figure?

I remember thinking it was the Ray of Sunshine that led us to the Brave New World. He abandoned Labor when Layton was in diapers and showed up as the leader of the Federal Liberal party.

But Jack kept the balls rolling. He trashed the Labor Movement as he clawed his way to center stage. Next it was Biff Hardnose of the Auto Workers. He jumped out of the sputtering Labor frying pan into the Dion Liberal flame-out.

So the entire Canadian Labor Movement moved out of eastern Canada to the Conservative Tar Sands (Sorry Ezra … it’s tar). I guess they didn’t get far enough away, because Tommy (the fresh new face of the Left gone right) showed up in Alberta and dumped all over the Teamsters.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Ray bolted from the Liberal leadership race. So why the sudden Ray self-jettison? The answer was not long in coming. It’s hard to believe, and I’m sure it must be wrong, but yesterday there were media reports that two Nazis rose from the Liberal benches to declare their allegiance to Hitler with perverse gestures.

Not much wonder that the Ray of Sunshine has headed for the exits. Out of the NDP and now at odds with the Liberals? I knew he wasn’t deliberately trying to go right. Where will he go next?

I think I’m right when I say that there’s something wrong on the Opposition Benches. Soon there’ll be nobody left.
