COLLINS: Who’s Your Choice?

Mar 23, 2025 | 6:00 AM

MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL, who is the fairest one of all?

Is it the quick-to-place-blame Pierre, or the man who walks out of the Liberal fire to make the party rise from the ashes? These questions will be answered in a month, when Pierre of Polievre, Esq., who until recently seemed the heir-apparent to the throne previously occupied by the despised Justin.

Justin, son of a different Pierre, whose star was bright until his people no longer saw the light, and cast him aside as they would a spear broken and dull from warding off the enemy on the fields of battle.

His tribe, poised to abandon the throne, were suddenly given new life with the arrival of the great Carnac the Magnificent (apologies, Johnny), devoid of skills in the halls of Parliament, but wise in the ways of spending the almighty dollar.

And as the two warring camps take up their positions at either end of the massive battlefield, the peasants caught in the middle hope that someone will still be standing to take on the ugly, massive behemoths in the southern lands.

A formidable task, but maybe winnable simply by letting the behemoths self-destruct on their own greed, trying to become the King of the World.

In just over a month, the first act will be complete, as we find out who Canadians believe will lead them to the Promised Land – Mark Carney or Pierre Polievre. The choice is yours.

I’m Doug Collins and that’s One Man’s Opinion.
