Peter "Pinocchio" MacKay announced today that he's going to take another crack at the top job in the PC party. What would a Canada under PM MacKay look like?
Toadying to the US, something the Liberals prefer to downplay, would be openly celebrated. Under Trudeau we're a little embarrassed to be Uncle Sam's water boys. Under MacKay, we'll stand proud to be water boys to the Exceptional Nation.
Our anti-Iran and pro-Israel rhetoric will ramp up. There'll be more chest-thumping declarations about freedom and democracy and human rights and our commitment to stand with our allies as we stare down the scourge of Putinism.
Hundreds of billions in new defense spending will be announced. The only comfort a rational person will find in this is that both the Libs and the PCs are fond of making announcements but not too concerned with following through. Think Sea King, F-18 replacement, icebreakers...
Doing nothing saves a lot of money.
