An open letter to Mr. Scheer and Mr. Singh:
I am writing both of you in regards to an opportunity that comes only once every century - the chance to fundamentally rebalance a country's political lines and make-up. The short version is that thanks to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabineteers' endless political retreats and arrogance, he has put not just his second term at risk, but the coalition that keeps the Liberal Party of Canada existent. The time has come to sack and divide decadent Rome.
To both of you and some of your less well-informed, overpriced political advisers, my choice of diction could sound extreme and optimistic. But it must be understood that stranger things have happened in our country, like when Brian Mulroney's PC's captured 211 out of 282 seats because of public outrage at the other Trudeau's arrogance and errors. That is the model that needs to be analyzed and exploited to put the Grits permanently in the ground.
I almost tear up just thinking about this future Canada, a bilingual democracy with citizens that must choose between radical unhinged Dippers and boring sluggish Tories, the lukewarm Grits having been cast out into the darkness. Principled, adversarial points of view will finally be shouted across the aisle, as the muddled views of the Laurentian consensus are finally sidelined. There might be less peace and order, but at least it will be meaningful government.
But back to our present age. The missteps of the Liberals cannot be underestimated; they have failed to deliver on a single policy that might benefit this country economically and the more progressive policy tokens have been stymied by committees or the Senate. In fact, the Grits have wonderfully set up talking points and wedges to properly separate the sheep from the goats into your respective camps; at this point, the attack ads are almost writing themselves.
However, we must contend with the oldest problem for both of your respective parties - that is the fact each of your have relied on the other for the vote split that the enemy of your enemy provides. Of course, the solution to this is simple, as each of you will only need the other's vote split one last time; simply agree where the paper candidates will be put in order to conserve resources, and then carry on while Mr. Sunny-Ways eats your collective dust.
The Grits will never be this vulnerable again. The coalition that has long kept them afloat is ready to be broken; if you do not attack now, you may never have a second chance. None of your members want another 80 of 100 years under Liberal occupation. With the Tory version of Stephane Dion and the Dipper version of Hedy Fry, there will only be this one chance to cut off Mr. Phony at the knees. Take my advice and strike while the iron's hot. Good luck to you both.
