“‘I would like to thank my party for its belief in my inability to resist immediately attacking everything the Prime Minister says like an enraged chihuahua, my insistence on having our slogans written by three word AI Mad Libs, and my persistent refusal to acknowledge the fact that I am the problem,’ [Conservative leader Pierre] Poilievre stated in his victory speech last night.”

*The Beaverton* does it again.

“What you’ve just said was one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
— The Principal (James Downey), *Billy Madison* (Tamra Davis, 1995)

Couple of observations on this #Elxn45 story:

* #PiPiLeQ ran a couple of new ads last night during “Jeopardy!”, borrowing heavily from the #DoFo playbook — an attack ad on Mark Carney after the first round, and a pro-#Conservative ad before the final round. Both ads ended with Sonny-and-Cher stills.

* My work these days entails dealing with people who claim to get their news from frakkin’ Instagram, so the focus is still on an algorithmic alternate reality.

Somehow, and I couldn’t *possibly* imagine why, “#PiPiLeQ is the Sonny to Anaida’s Cher” isn’t the slam-dunk puff angle they seem to think it is.

“This didn’t just pop up this year in response to Trump and the tariffs. There is a fairly profound divide within the #Conservative movement.. …When things are going well, you don’t have people like [Jason] Kenney and [James] Moore coming out. So if this is about the fracturing starting to come, I feel bad for [#PiPiLeQ]; I don’t think there’s a way to stop it.”

“I dunno, Bob. What *is* the difference between #PiPiLeQ and a broken clock?”

“Doug, a broken clock is *correct* twice a day!”

“Seen near the entrance [to a #PiPiLeQ rally in Surrey, BC on 27 March] is a table of confiscated items that were being held for people to collect on their way out of the rally. There were a number of knives, e-cigarettes, Canadian MAGA hats, one red ‘Make America Great Again’ cap and two signs. One that said ‘Klaus Schwab W.E.F. Carney’.”

Nice to be known by the company you keep, innit?
