Justin Trudeau may be the next big thing – but Stephen Harper’s still Nickelback
Politics, like music, is about sound and vision. What will voters want to hear in 2015?

How did we guess that MacDougall was a former paid Harper hack – and using Nickleback as a metaphor for the Cons is about as perfect as it gets..they both truly suck..and what has Nickleback done lately? As for Trudeau, to act as if he is the one and only threat to the Harper Reich is pathetic – hopefully the NDP can come up the middle and once again surprise the pundits with a win, or more sensibly, a coalition…
All this right wing gibberish, that conveniently ignores the ‘other’ parties, does nothing for either the Glibs or the Cons (interchangeable, in my view, on most things) and acting as if they are the only two parties out there to contend with is a shallow and desperate choice for the CBC to support..it really is getting to the point where any Canadian media cannot be trusted…..I get that the Cons are squeezing the budget at the CBC, but this is beyond belief, and worthy of Conrad Black’s/Barbara Amiel’s sort of editorial content. Although, to be fair, they did use the metaphor of arguably the worst band in Canada, and, since the Harper regime is arguably the worst ever in Canada, perhaps it is more than appropriate…
