OUT.
In my most recent Blog, I indicated that Trudeau had two options in front of him...either to stay the course or start afresh.
At his 8 a.m. Press Conference today he chose the latter.
Speculation had been rife in the lead-up to it that he would be contrite, he'd be apologizing all over the place. One long time and well respected Liberal Pundit went so far as to say he thought the Prime Minister would use this morning's format to call an early Election.
Rather, he continued with the blame game and today, in addition to continuing to blame Jody Wilson - Raybould, he now included his long time trusted friend and advisor Gerald Butts. It doesn't get much lower than that.
And just to be sure the Press was hearing him correctly, one Wag asked him straight up - are you sir apologizing today? Yes he replied, but not here, rather I was going to Iqaluit to give one of his standard and totally hollow apologies for something that no one alive today had spit to do with.
Trudeau has the apology business down to a science, just never expect him to apologize personally for any action or actions on his part. As Andy always said to Barney ...'You Just Beat Everything'.
And the words he consistently bandies about: 'Reflect', 'Lessons Learned' and 'Moving Forward'. What do any of these words mean? ...does YT even know ?- Reflect On What, Lessons Learned about What and Move Forward to Where. Who gives him this dribble speak - or does he pen this nonsense himself?
And of course his vacuous talks are full of his needing to protect jobs in Quebec - a.k.a. Votes.
So dear reader, we now know what Trudeau's strategy 'going forward' is. It will not save him from the coming election defeat and it may not even save his Leadership in the interim.
As I See It...
