Still, Liberals be Liberals, so even in rebellion everyone was desperately determined to keep their remarks secret (Ed: Pretty Little Birds), hide the dissenters’ identities and pretend for all they’re worth that the obvious signs of revolt were nothing more than a healthy debate among colleagues.

Voters cast a ballot for change as Trudeau faces caucus revolt

Canadians are clearly agitated, and are ready to make incumbents pay at the ballot box

Canadians are agitated. They’re upset. They’re perturbed by the state of what remains a largely polite and accommodating country.

On Monday, they arranged for Liberals to finally get some good news. Not the ones in Ottawa, who remain about as happy and organized as a load of cattle on the way to the slaughterhouse. What they got was a glorious victory in New Brunswick, ousting Blaine Higgs and his Conservatives, even plucking away the suddenly ex-premier’s own seat in what the CBC described as a “red tide.”

Obviously, no one told the CBC that oceanographers describe a red tide as a harmful occurrence in which “colonies of algae — plant-like organisms that live in the sea and freshwater — grow out of control while producing toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals and birds.”

No matter. Liberals were ecstatic. The tide (sorry) had turned. Happy days are here again. Sunny ways are working. Look out Tories, Liberals are on the march!

Except, uh, maybe not. Way over at the other end of the country, progressivism and all its accoutrements were being issued a very firm shellacking. It’s no longer possible to spurn the B.C. Liberal party, which dissolved itself after it became obvious that hardly anyone wanted to vote for it.

What happened instead is that after seven years of leftish government, first via an NDP-Green alliance, then an all-New Democrat majority, British Columbia voters had had enough progress for now, thank you very much, and indicated they’d greatly appreciate something better. The NDP majority evaporated as they came within one seat of defeat to the Conservatives, smoked by a party that attracted less then two per cent of the vote the last time an election was held.

Interesting Read…
