As a child, I spent many a summer's day gazing at a dilapidated old barn in Tracadie where I grew up, its once vibrant red coat faded and flaking. One summer, the owners chose not to tear it down, but instead lovingly applied a new layer of bold red paint. Temporarily revitalized, the barn stood a little taller, a little prouder. But time and nature eventually reclaimed it. Now only a memory, the barn serves as a poignant reminder of the impermanence of cosmetic change.
I look forward to your next report where you focus on Mr Poilievre and his glittering house of cards with its non-existent foundation, outdated images and devoid of an internal structure.
I'm not sure where you get the idea that Canada is failing economically, except from PP's rants. All data indicates otherwise. As for your barn analogy - PP's solid structure would only be a bunkhouse, large enough to hold the rich Reform crowd.
It would be interesting to see if Polievre can keep the same moment focusing only on his image and slogans. Complaining is a thing but developing concrete alternative policies is another.
I read your articles with interest and sometimes confusion……confused by your backing of PP or for yourself. You I can support financial but with PP leading the party, no way. Fred, you should have backed Peter instead of Erin and we wouldn’t be in this mess now. What does Elmer say?
My sons used to say to me, ‘Mom, if a dog was running for the. Conservatives you would vote for him’ but not this dog.
It’s my belief this is currently the finest actual Canadian Journalism I’ve read recently ..
albeit in a different Manner than Evan Scrimshaw .. who ‘owns’ his territory.. does the heavy lifting..
Comparisons are Odious .. So may I include Paul Wells.. he’s also really turned my head around !
But ‘The Barn Thing’ .. Full Disclosure - We owned one. I painted barns. I bought cattle in Barns.
I filled barns with Hay & Straw. I found kittens in our barn. I wrote a damn Poem about a Barn Cat.
I saw a man slide off a barn roof & scamper back up the ladder straightaway.. Delivered calves in barns
A main beam under our Drive Floor got Dry Rot.. a dusty old farmer named Clayton Bacon
took me as a punk to find a Mennonite beam to replace it in ‘67..
(will tell Fred.. for a free Paid Subscriber status .. even up
How an old farmer & a boy.. got er done)
I love the analogy .. Fred has ‘farm cred’ - respect
Its an interesting analogy 🦎🏴☠️
I think more Canadians should be ‘reading him’ right now
..i scarce believe he’s a Conservative .. certainly not a Liberal
I find it rather disconcerting that you, Fred, rarely have anything supportive to say about Pierre Poilievre. Could you, perhaps, fix that?

At this point.. it’s my belief The CPC Party faces a Major Conundrum. The ‘Threat’ that Mr Poilievre is at Grave Risk
of Losing Carleton Federal Riding & certainly The Provincial Riding is also at Grave Risk of ‘flipping’
That ‘Chain Of Events’ could tear apart ‘conservatism’ .. & not ‘just the CPC’. Please Note as well
that between Now & ‘On Or Before October 20, 2023 there’s plenty of time for further scandal,
ludicrous communications, mistakes, grotesque & Crude SocialMedia ‘loyalty’ based simply on Hating Trudeau
As a truly Non Partisan & Senior Observer.. I’m astonished on so many ‘Fronts’
The ‘Perceptions’ of Eligible Carleton Voters fascinate me of course..
Here’s a few oddities already !
Mr Poilievre,is ‘invisible’ within the Riding & has been for quite sometime - self fail
His ‘absolute savagery’ in regard to Mr David Johnson - Defied Belief
anyone think Carleton didn’t ‘notice’ ?
How about the endless repetition of Laughable French to English Translation with Zero Context
about Trudeau ‘calling Canadians ‘misogynists etc.. Ms Candace Bergen is wearing that too
while it’s been endlessly been mutating via ‘his Base’ & Partisan MainStreamMedia
How about the Ottawa Occupation & preceding ‘Freedom Convoy’
as well as Marching in Ottawa with a former military person
with a cadre of Former Military, acting as Mercenaries For Hire to ‘Conservative Functions’ ?
Hey ! When do Carlton Voters get to see the ‘Great Makeover’ & the new ‘jacked’ guy
with all his different costumes.. ranging from Bespoke & on down to cheap blue trousers & blue working class shirt
During the intermittent but petulant Press Conferences, announcements
Ridiculous attempts to ridicule Trudeau at Airports.. multiple invitations for being spoofed
Dare I mention the neverending bible gathering reality of what ? 150 ‘Rallies’
with tailored White Polite but likely Evangel crowds & almost Zero People Of Colour
& the snazzy monogrammed jackets that certainly appear to say
Pierre Poilievre Prime Minister ! The tiny obscure ‘for’ is simply laughable
‘now’ he’s all heroic Aviator Sunglasses - The ‘Right Stuff look’
plus ‘leave it to beaver’ new coiffure ..
It’s endless.. the daily battering of Biased Media & Daily Polls anointing him
Ask can someone describe ‘The Jenni Byrne Strategy’ to some sneak in into the Riding
with his wonderfullness being Blindsided or Bushwacked.. he gonna ‘Have A Rally There .. someday ?
I can certainly see him suffering a mysterious ‘Health Health Issue’ or other excuse
when The Party ‘Axes His Ass’
How does he explain to ALL the Riding Voters.. he claims ‘Have Lost Control Of Their Lives’ ?
And only HE .. can’t give them back Control .. their ‘Freedoms’ & ‘Powerful Paychecks’
when does he ‘Bring It Home’ - whatever ‘it’ actually ‘is’
What vulnerability in Calgary ! The infamous photo - effortless gooning by Green T-Shirt Straight Lives Guy
who also gooned ‘premier’ Danielle Smith ! Neither of them could read that day of course..
& so popular it’s ‘just a blur shaking hands with anybody under the sun..
I’m just getting warmed up by th Bye .. but I’m a guest here only..
and the beat goes on .. or is he just ‘beating himself now.. again & again .. 🦎🏴☠️
I don’t find him supportive of Pierre at all. Spilled milk and all won’t get us a Conservative government.
