I know we sometimes think, here in Canada, that the Canadian Conservative Party is, more and more, modelling itself in the US Republican Party. But, in terms of chutzpah, it still has a long way to go to keep up with a Republican Party that is teetering on the brink of jumping the shark.
The latest is a resolution passed by the Republican National Committee which censures two Republican Representatives - Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger - for having the temerity to take part in the House of Representatives' investigation of the January 6th Capitol attack.
But the wording of the resolution, which passed easily on a voice vote, was even more jaw-dropping, as it accused the Representatives of "participating in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse". "Persecution"? "Legitimate political discourse"? Wow!
Come on you Canadian Conservatives, keep up! Those GOP guys are really showing you up for lily-livered pushovers.
