Election Follies and Funnies #24: Chretien is back!

Chrétien talks about importance of vaccines. Says he’s been vaccinated with various shots for 86 years. On Erin O’Toole- “He is doing something I cannot do - he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth.” pic.twitter.com/9i2drNzG5J

Chrétien said it’s not the time to be far left or far right. It’s time to be in the middle. He said it’s the time to be Liberal.

Q: How do you think this race will end? Chrétien: "It will end on the 20th."

Chrétien kept us out of the Iraq War when Harper, half the business community and most of the media wanted us in. Thank God. https://t.co/QMNmKwzHXL

The Liberals have released Shelia Copps AND Jean Chretien. If Paul Martin makes an appearance, they're going to have to start a 90s cover band.

Rosemary Barton at the CBC has been doing lengthy interviews with the leaders - O'Toole on Monday night, Trudeau on Tuesday night, and now Singh tonight - worth listening to, I think. But here's one of the funniest takes:

#CBC’s @RosieBarton looked exasperated trying to get @theJagmeetSingh to answer, so here he is with a perfect response… https://t.co/tvh0IA2uuJ

This is why the former Green leader is endorsing the Liberals climate plan now:

Today I met with @JustinTrudeau in Richmond to discuss the @liberal_party climate plan. As I told him, “This is a plan that I’ve been dreaming of for most of my life.” It is economy wide, its all encompassing and it's costed and well thought through! #cdnpoli #Elxn44 pic.twitter.com/qx39VOCYTn

Remembering O'Toole's greatest hits:

So vile. A blatant lie to deliberately stoke anger and fear in Canadians. It was unforgivable at such an uncertain time. So many people were so stressed thinking we’d never get vaccines.

We should not forget these guys obstructed and cheered against the Covid effort. #elx44

And here's one we need to get trending:

I got fully vaccinated and wasn’t prepared for the side effects but apparently “absolutely enormous cock” is quite common
