Would you pay to hear this guy speak?

Just for laughs. Or sobs.

We heard Justin Trudeau speak for nine years and paid a steep price. The costs will cripple us for decades.

His agency says he is a “renowned expert.” On what? Crashing economies? Escalating inflation? Importing criminals? Stiffing the taxpayer? Wearing costumes and dancing?

Remember, an “ex” is a has-been and a “spurt” is a drip under pressure.

Trudeau can, however, claim expertise in what not to do.

SPEED CAMERAS EASY MONEY

There’s no denying that speed cameras are easy money (who sang it?). If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be there, nor would the “coming soon” signs popping up all over Ottawa.

I don’t have a problem with speed cameras, and cameras have dinged me several times. The problem I have is with motorists who can’t read “between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday.”

Rather than Premier Doug Ford having a hissy fit about speed cameras, he should have had a fit over the 16 speed cameras that were damaged early Tuesday morning in Toronto.

To conclude, and speaking only about St. Joseph’s High School, the only time the students are out and about is around 11 a.m., when they make their pilgrimage up Greenbank Road. (You’d have to see it to believe it. Makes me smile every time.)

$55 BOTTLE? THAT’S NOTHING

Re: Doug Ford pours out bottle of Crown Royal over upcoming Ontario plant closure, online, Sept. 2

So our Red PC Uncle Doug wasted a $55 bottle of hooch? Big deal!

The bunch of bananas running our country into the ground for the last decade wasted $200 billion of our tax dollars on climate change alone with negligible results.

Yet somehow, like an old, stained loonie, they just keep finding their way back into our pockets.
