I can’t help but reminisce that my Canadian Politics Prof Wally Fox-Decent would have referred to this (in cerebral poli sci terms) as a ‘doozy’. Thanks for jumping on it so fast.

I imagine that Trudeau pictured this playing out a bit differently on Friday.

Good for her! Taking back control of the narrative and not letting JT throw another cabinet member under the bus. I’d vote for her!!

Well, see, I'd say that naming Dominic LeBlanc and proceeding as if it's business as usual proves the First Law, once again!

This is a great event! Will the Liberal party exist after the next election?

As for Trudeau, some wag just posted a Downfall meme about Trudeau on another platform. Didn't have time to make the video but I think we're at that stage, and I say this as a card-carrying Liberal (or they sent me a card, anyway).

I was dying at the end. Ling briefly loses it at the ridiculous cliff comment and then recovers his serious journalist face for about a minute, until everyone loses their shit at the absurdity of Randy being next in line at finance.

But then you stop and realize that the hilarious absurdity is our actual government.

Loved the hysterical laughter. It prevents crying. What an unholy mess just as the country confronts a psychopathic idiot.

No issues with video or audio quality for me.
