Liberals, after losing the west and central Canada, are now retreating in their Fort Alamos, the urban ridings of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. But Stephane Dion is no general Houston to lead them back to the victory.
Watching question period these days it's clear they still believe political stunts will bring them back to power. They played the environment card but failed for lack of ideas and a polluted record, then they resorted to mudslinging, playing the corruption card (can you imagine?!), then on to child poverty and the Native issue. No chance.
Now they're back to their original love: The Bloc wants more talk about separation, while the Liberals are back to multiculturalism and immigrants.
Like the desperate battle of Fort Alamo, they are throwing everything at the enemy: They resorted to attacks on Brian Mulroney, then to the Reform Party and even Diefenbaker to keep the votes of the former immigrants of Italian origin.
The article closes by identifying the culture of "entitlement" as the real problem with the Liberal Party of Canada. The Liberals are afflicted with the delusion that they're, for sure, here to stay, that their party is immortal, eternal, can't be killed, that naturally they'll soon be back in power to do whatever they please and take away more of our liberties and money in the name of their own self-enrichment and convenience.
If the Liberals continue to delude themselves into believing that they're God Himself or at least His Greatest Gift To Canada and the World, then they will find it quite hard to find their way out of their dark, dreary wilderness of sheer uselessness as a party, utter irrelevance to Canada and Canadians and oblivion.
The dinosaurs couldn't adapt to changing conditions that were killing them off, hence their extinction. And we see that the Liberal Party hasn't adapted either, falsely secure in their delusion that they're guaranteed an easy ride to victory on the magic carpet of their great brand name, which is already showing signs of weakening.
