Good old Jughead. The Liberals were so gung-ho about an election that they didn't even bother to throw him a bone this time around yet he still backed down once the prospect of an election appeared.
He knows as well as the Liberals that he won't survive another shitty election performance and without a doubt, he is heading for an even worse performance than last year.
He could have had it all had he voted down the Throne Speech.
Now he's in an unenviable position of having prevented the anti-corruption committee from fully investigating the disgrace that was Trudeau's pandemic spending and can be blamed for that come the next election.
The mood of Canadians is going to turn at some point over the amount of money that was spent and the amount that was wasted. The CERB tax bill will be particularly annoying, but seeing how the deficit has more than doubled will be downright onerous.
Particularly when it becomes clear that we'll need new flat taxes to pay it along with austerity measures.
I'd say that becomes evident in the Spring.
If Jughead didn't want an election he could have always formed a coalition with the CPC and Bloc but 'he doesn't like conservatives' so that option wasn't attractive.
Instead he'll be sharing the blame for Justin's scandals while also being an NDP candidate at a time when Canadians are regretting recent government overspending.
He is completely inept.
