the Walnut Diary

To:  Hon. Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada

O.K., Steve, here’s the deal. You don’t want May, Trudeau and Mulcair to spend a couple of hours shooting at an empty chair in the main debate on CBC. This can do you no end of hurt.

So send Paul Calandra to fill the chair. He’s been willing to play whipping boy for the last year, and if his recent performance on Power and Politics is any indicator, viewers will find watching him so painful that they’ll turn off in droves and forget about the debates.

BTW: if this modest little tactic helps you get re-elected, I’m eligible for a senate seat representing Ontario, and because I live in the Ottawa area, there wouldn’t be any need for a housing allowance.
