I&#8217;d guess his career is at an end. Doesn&#8217;t Canada have a no confidence vote?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah well, the soap opera goes on, and nothing changes, except the price of goods and fuel. They keep going up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m as disinterested in the &#8220;News&#8221; and politics as I was during the Obama years. The nut jobs have full control of the asylum and the midterms can&#8217;t come soon enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe this time we can get some people in office that actually do their jobs. I&#8217;m not holding my breath or anything but I&#8217;d love to see a bunch of non-politicians swept into office. You know, folks that had businesses and employees and actually produced something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, of course, until they were forced out of business by mandates and lockdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems to me those are the people who have the time, the knowledge, logic, and will, to stand up to the establishment powers and say, &#8220;NO!&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe, they&#8217;d be able to set things back on course by applying their business acumen and common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing I&#8217;m certain of, is that all of the career politicians of any political stripe need to get THE BOOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m probably just whistling past the graveyard. There are a lot more people caught up in their individual divisiveness and specialized causes than there are people who look at the larger picture. I&#8217;m fairly sure that whoever is elected in the midterms will just be more of the same old crap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, back to ignoring  the news for a week or so unless something really interesting captures my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m over the soap opera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything I read was reminiscent of the Obama Years.
