Here is where I play Devil’s Advocate yet again.
It seems that despite the fact we’re likely going to an election this spring, be it because of the budget, in this case, likely an early May election, or if rumours are true that the Liberals may raise a motion of non-confidence before then, and given the non-binding vote in the House of Commons yesterday, there appears to be more substance to this rumour.
Everybody knows Harper is itching for an election, yesterday, and so is his base. The stars are aligned for him. Truth is, scandal after scandal can come up and it seems the more Harpercon transgressions, the more loved he is. Stevie can throw a quadriplegic in front of oncoming traffic, sell his grandmother around the corner for a quarter and murder his neighbour and he will still remain within majority territory in the polls. If the quadriplegic, grandmother and neighbour happened to be Liberals, well, that would probably mean a 60%+ polling number.
Now Stevie Spiteful has officially announced he will be attending the Royal nuptuals come April 29–just days before a projected election, assuming this election was due to the budget falling. Anyone else find it a tad strange that Stevie Spiteful is only announcing this today; just days after the rumours of the Liberals seeking a non-confidence motion? One has to wonder if the Liberals and the other opposition parties are playing right into Stevie Spiteful’s hands on the issues of ethics and corruption. I wonder if all those recent scandals (perhaps not ‘in and out’ verdict, but the non expeditious way of handling it ; but Oda, Jason Kenney) were deliberately manufactured by Stevie Spiteful? I mean, a master tactician doesn’t make sloppy mistakes like getting caught. Someone as controlling and as secretive as Master Stevie is just doesn’t make such a chain of errors.
Let’s face it, if there was only a question of that upcoming Harpercon budget, an election would’ve been held some time in early May. I don’t care how much Stevie loves to suck up to the Queen and social climb the rest of the royal leaches, there is just no way Stevie would’ve gone to this hootenanny across the Atlantic with an election; perhaps the election of his life just days away, no matter how certain the predictions would be of that coveted majority.
The fact that Steve has announced only now that he is attending the royal hootenanny after initially not being certain to attend does leave his motives and timing does leave room for suspicion.
