Art Buchwald was a humorist who had columns in over 500 newspapers back in his heyday. He also wrote a number books. A short story in one of those books was about a kindergarten class in the Soviet Union in the 1960s. The kids were being taught that the premier of the USSR was a great person. He was good. He was fantastic. Then the teacher was called to the door by the principal, and was told that the premier had died and had been replaced by new premier

She went back to her class and asked whether the former premier wasgood or bad. The kids all replied that he was great he was fantastic. And the teacher sternly told them that the former premier was bad and evil to the state

There’s a bit of that happening now these days. Do you remember when MTG was, to liberals, one of the most hated women in the world. Then all of a sudden she’s one of the most loved. Now the same thing seems to be happening with Jason Kenney, the former premier of Alberta. Liberals could not stand him. And now he’s doing a Captain Canada routine. He is urging federalists to get involved in the separation push in Alberta.

“Federalists need to start kicking it into gear here. I think we’ve allowed the separatists to almost completely dominate the debate on the process for the past year.”

“A large number of Albertans have concluded this is an opportunity to send a message to get leverage — to replicate Quebec’s knife to the throat strategy, and I say to them be careful for what you ask for.”

Liberals are also feeling sympathetic towards Kenney, after he was victimized by the Centurion project with his confidential information being leaked out

What is going on here? MTG and now Jason Kinney seen as the good guys? Who next? Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre? I don’t know if my left leaning heart could handle that.

That’s all I have for today.
