the Walnut Diary

Jennifer Ditchburn’s CP story this morning delineating the homophobic subtext in the posters set to be sent out by Conservative MPs to their constituents made it clear that it was time for me to get the charge card out again. So $50 went off to Justin. Interestingly, the once-creaky Liberal Party machinery worked very smoothly this time. Boom. Correct data on the splash screen already there. Pump in the amount and the card number. Thanks. Bye.

According to pundits Trudeau’s most daunting task over the next two years will be the update of the LPC’s archaic organization. This latest online encounter was the first time I have ever dealt with the Liberal Party of Canada that I was impressed by their efficiency.

I doubled the amount of the contribution out of resentment of the hypocrisy of the publicly-funded mail-out campaign to begin June 1: how can Harper meet with the parents of a girl who was harassed to death and take a public stand against cyber-bullying, yet praise the content of these deeply personal attacks upon an opponent? And if it isn’t bullying to get all of the other MPs to gang up on the intended victim in this attack, what is it?

I said a month ago in a post that Justin and Sophie will slay Stephen Harper on the campaign trail just because of their teamwork and sex appeal. Face it: manly men look up to someone who is getting more sex than they are. That’s just the way it is, Steve. Justin has a lock on this with Sophie and his kids. Sprinkling fairy dust around a picture is just going to make people mad at you and grease the Liberal fundraising machine.
