The Trudeau Liberals, their popularity ebbing fast, are doing their best to paint Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and his party as a pack of racists, effectively abandoning their promise of taking the high road and instead taking the lowest road possible.

The next thing will likely be Scheer having a clandestine affair with neo-Nazi Faith Goldy, who is not exactly hard on the eyes, which benefits conspiracy-theory conjurers, all-the-while providing under-the-table funding for the Yellow Vest Movement that appears to have more personalities than Sybil.

Both Liberals and Conservatives will swear up-and-down on their various stacks of holy books that they are not playing politics with racism. But they would have difficulty convincing the average voter that an ugly turn has not already been made. This election is shaping up to be the dirtiest we’ve ever witnessed.
