The Tories have a coming-to-Jesus moment

...or at least, they'd like you to think so. Here's the full text of what the media is hilariously calling the Pamphlet from the Throne.

But here are a few interesting phrases from it (emphasis mine):

we strive for greater solidarity

Our Government approached the dialogue in a spirit of open and non-partisan cooperation. There is no monopoly on good ideas because we face this crisis together. There can be no pride of authorship –only the satisfaction of identifying solutions that will work for all Canadians.

unity, determination and constancy of purpose.

As you unite in common effort and in common cause,

"There can be no pride of authorship" - translation: We have no qualms about continuing to steal other parties' ideas, reached through their research, at their expense, and presenting them as our own. Here we have the most truthful statement in the whole speech.

As for the rest... bovine excrement about the Cons holding hands and singing kumbaya with the other parties. I imagine the GG had to pop a Gravol before reading this one.

And is it just my imagination, or was the GG seething mad when she read it? She looked like she was extraordinarily pissed off and trying hard to hide it... a pleasant smile with flared nostrils and eyes that could cut through steel. And who could blame her if she was? She's already been put on the spot in one untenable situation by this PM, with possibly more to follow, by his idiotic games. And it's anybody's guess what they talked about for 2 hours before she granted him prorogation. I'm still convinced she attached some conditions we don't know about.
