Itʼs on the record, and itʼs been so for over two decades in an archived Creston news editorial: pre-Princely Minister Justin Trudeau felt up a local reporter and apologized to her only after she protested, and the now-crowned King Trudy the Second apparently told her that he would not have behaved the way he did had he known that she worked for a national newspaper — as if that somehow made it okay in 2000 or in 2021! 

A few years ago when forced to defend his buried Kootenay transgression, KT2 danced around the subject like a trained minstrel and philosophized about people perceiving reality differently, as if he was in the Philosophy 101 class he slept through at McGill. 

From then on, everyoneʼs let the Kokanee Groper slide, other than a horde of conservative columnists and those feminist fans who broke up with him right around his blackface sandal. Us Canucks rightfully freaked out about ex-President Drumpfʼs sexual abuses, but we might elect Junior Mint as our PM for a third time running when heʼs confessedly assaulted a reporter at a raunchy corporate rock-fest, disrespected our first Indigenous Justice Minister to the point where she told him to shove it up his socks, and kicked out the top medical professional in his floundering regime just to protect his fascistic PMO because Dr. Jane dared to follow the ethical wisdom of Puglaas to leave a sinking ship when the captain doesnʼt even know heʼs going down on an imminent nautical disaster. 

As if we canʼt all picture the twenty-something future Mr. Sophie Gregoire recently exiled from his prestigious Point Grey private school for scandalous reasons yet unknown all hopped up and soused on suds as he scans through his beer-goggles for single babes to manhandle, because way out here in the boonies who cares if you steal second on a poor country scribe when itʼs against the rules if the paid-off umpires are on your side? 

Imagine living in JPTʼs universe of unparalleled privilege where you can bemoan the loss of your key Ontario riding candidate only because youʼve lost a game-piece on your chessboard, not because the resigned incumbent mayʼve groped as many as you have. 

How can any federal leader with an ounce of power not beat this imperious buffoon, let alone turf him? Is that not the biggest condemnation of our current pandemic election? Charlie Brown, Beamer Jagmeet, the Quebec TV guy & Elizabeth Mayʼs suppression of her black, female jewish successor Annamie Paul canʼt beat or combine to overthrow a pathetic minority-government grandstander whoʼs our first naked Emperor to violate the nationʼs ethics laws twice, and near thrice? One could list the WE charity snafu, the Aga Khan vacation getaway, the Griswold family tour of India, or his broken promises to our late musical poet and Man Who Walks Among The Stars to truly protect and care for our indigenous peoples; but all this could have been avoided if the nation had just listened to an innocent reporter who told her truth on the job as she experienced it, literally firsthand, and rendered Pierreʼs son unfit for office (which he is!) right off the hops. 

Primarily, lest we forget: Justyʼs Papa took over the residential schools from the Church.
