I know it's been a while, a long hiatus even more an active guy like me. But the truth is, and it hurts my humble ego to write these words, I told you so. The world is being fedexed to hell, probably COD.
Prime Minister Couillard who suffers from delusion and folie des grandeurs like all politicians can now add "Predictor of Things to Come" in his LinkedIn profile. Phil traveled to Paris apparently without his medication but with Quebec's check book, and generously gave 25 million dollars to other French-speaking nations so they can lower their emissions. Like, Nigeria? Or maybe another corrupted dictatorship in Africa? They have gas-powered scooters and Land Rovers, right? Therefore they release toxic emission. So let's send them a fat check and that will fix the problem by 2050. Yes, monsieur Couillard, send us the money, says the environment minister of Nigeria who usually prefers Western Union for all things official.
Spending the taxpayer dollar to get a hug from Al Gore is one thing, but this week-end our beloved Phil claimed that natural gas will be a thing of the past by 2050. Why? Because they are bad, that's it. A friend of mine who is over there told me that his futuristic statement raised a few eyebrows in the crowd. During the 7-course meal afterward, I've been told that Couillard the First said even more bold statements, like Quebec will outlaw the use of regular light bulbs in 2018, the use of wood-fire stoves will be a criminal offense soon and so much more. "A garbage truck is so 20th century" he told an AFP journalist. "Quebec will be the first nation to force its citizen to compost everything, the world will be green with envy" he said laughing at his own joke. "What about canned food, how do you turn metal into compost?" asked a twenty-something French journalist. "People need to re-think how they purchase food, you have a point. Quebec will prohibit canned food by 2019. Yeah, that's right. This is a great idea, this is my idea. And I will ask Carlos to come up with a tax on canned food next year, this is even better."
Then Phil pursued an intense conversation with himself, even ignoring a tap on his shoulder from Al Gore.
Friends, I told you we were on the brink of disaster when Curly was in charge of the province. Now we are merging with disaster. Strap your seat belts.
