Wow, jumping from a sinking ship to a sunken ship. Either genius or idiocy.

Half a year is an eternity in politics. Neither Liberal party is done.

Especially in Quebec, I would not be surprised at all if the Liberals are back in power here within a decade. Wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t either. I mean who the hell heard of the CAQ 10 years ago? And wasn’t the PQ destroyed forever after their last loss?

Pablo has been in the House and Commons from 2004 to 2011, and again from 2015 until now; and, he was in the cabinet since 2015 until now. My own opinion is somewhat negative. I first met him when he was organizing for the Paul Martin leadership bid (Chretien was still PM).
I’ve been trying to think of any policy where his participation was important to bringing it to fruition at the federal level (I’m using Marc Miller or Sean Fraser as two examples in the present cabinet where I can easily think of what they accomplished). Pablo’s time at Heritage which saw the introduction of the Canadian policy for Facebook and Google news does not bode well.
I’m looking forward to seeing him interviewed this Sunday on Tout le monde en parle.
