The only thing worse than a cad . . .

. . . is the one who engages in gossip about him.

The CPC is walking a dangerous path -- before Monday's English debate, they said there were still lingering questions about why Trudeau left his teaching job and suggested he would have the opportunity to answer those questions at the debate. Nothing came of it. People kind of murmured and let it go.... but now today they've put out a press release that a Conservative Party member will have a statement about Trudeau's 'past behavour' at 3:30 p.m.

You want to govern the country and you're trading in salacious gossip? You're putting out teaser press releases.... ffs -- if it's that important, just say it. NO GAMES.

If this has anything to do with what the Buffalo Chronicles posted this morning and True North went to press with at noon - some 'scandal'. A seventeen year old girl was a flirt and had a big crush on Justin Trudeau and his then roommate (who has since been convicted of child porn -- which again, has nothing to do with Trudeau). Her yearbook comment was about him (using initials -- they even went so far as to check that no student was also JT). And so? Lots of students have lots of crushes on lots of high school teachers. He can't help being the object of some teenager's crush. A yearbook comment - by a teenage girl? This is news???

Justin Trudeau is a lot of things -- and has done a lot of things -- stupid, bad, immoral, but there is no scandal in being hero worshipped. To imply (without evidence) that what happened at Westpoint was any more than a one-sided infatuation on the part of a student, is just wrong ... and it's foolish on the part of a political party that wants to govern.

Trudeau is tripping himself up. He can barely get out a coherent sentence, he and his crew have exploited young children to show contrition for his blackface episodes, they're pulling out more video of Andrew Scheer talking about gay marriage -- they are running scared -- and the CPC wants to mire themselves in the muck of innuendo?

This election has been disgusting on so many levels. Usually I can content myself that it's Trudeau and his band of malicious minions throwing the most dirt --- but when the side I'm counting on for some propriety dives this low -- it taints them and as someone who was supporting them, it affects me. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but even the Enquireresque press release … it's bad form. It's off-putting. It doesn't pique people, it pisses them off. What is wrong with the people who run these campaigns? HAVE THEY EVER TALKED TO A REAL LIVING HUMAN??

Scheer seems like a nice guy. I think he'd be an unspectacular prime minister but at least he wouldn't be ruinous -- and right now with the road the country is on, that's okay by me -- but if he supports his campaign team dealing in this kind of filth, I will be staying home on October 21.

You can blame me and people like me for Trudeau being re-elected, but I'm starting to feel I have no option anymore. I had no respect for Trudeau, and what respect I had for the Conservative Party is quickly burning up.

Can't wait until October 22. Don't really care what I wake up to. We deserve better than anything we're being offered.
