I liked Lorrie Goldstein’s Sunday column in the Toronto Sun. (Hat tip Ross M.)
As I’ve obviously found out, sometimes you just have to resort to being sarcastic when you’ve already asked, over and over, a thousand times, why it is that the mainstream media seems completely bereft of the ability to question what they’re told when it’s liberals who are doing the telling.
They have no end of analysis and probing questions and regurgitated nonsense and anti-conservative editorializing when a Conservative says anything, yet when liberal Scott Brison explains that he was simply predicting, innocently, that a banker would be “happy” with “some news” about income trusts that “may or may not occur this week”, just “serendipitously” and as if by “magical fairy”, they go ahead and print that with nary a question mark to be found. Suddenly, politicians are as honest as all get out, to their way of thinking.
The former Liberal minister displays an uncanny knack for seeing the future
Wonderful news, fellow Canadians!
We now know that former Liberal cabinet minister and potential Liberal leadership contender Scott Brison can PREDICT THE FUTURE!
We know this because Brison correctly predicted in an e-mail to the Canadian Imperal Bank of Commerce’s income trust specialist a day before it happened, that he (the banker) would soon be hearing good news that would make him a much happier person.
And, do you know what? The very next day, on Nov. 23, the Liberal government—in which Brison was the minister of public works as well as the receiver-general of Canada—announced it would not be taxing income trusts.
And sure enough, just as Brison had predicted on Nov. 22, that made the banker happy indeed.
But amazingly, Brison did not know what his own government was planning to do when he made his bold prediction!
Indeed, Brison said last week, he had absolutely no advance knowledge about what the government’s announcement on income trusts would be. He just made a lucky guess, based on public and media speculation at the time.
Well, for my money, that settles it. Clearly, the Liberals would be nuts not to choose Brison as their next leader, while voters would be fools not to elect Brison as Canada’s 23rd prime minister at the first available opportunity.
Just think of how great it will be to have a prime minister who can PREDICT THE FUTURE!
I say we shouldn’t wait until Brison is PM to take advantage of his remarkable psychic powers.
I think we should all send e-mails to Brison right now either at his Ottawa office, [email protected] or at his constituency office in Nova Scotia, [email protected], asking him to predict the future for us, too.
Ready? I’ll start.

Dear Mr. Brison: I am deeply disappointed that so few Liberals—actually, as far as I can tell, none—have gone to jail for stealing our money in AdScam. Could you please predict how many Liberals will be going to jail and precisely when that will be? Thank you.
