The Donut Decision

Coincidentally, when the scandal first hit I was sitting down to a nice donut.

Justin Trudeau, in his efforts to glue Canada back together, decided to buy some donuts. Local donuts. The kind of quality donuts that makes a nation great, and worth holding together. The kind of delicious donuts that spurs legends and literature. Didn't Margaret Atwood just come out with a new book about donuts?

What really irks me is that Mr. Trudeau didn't spell out his donut platform during the election. Why didn't he outline his penchant for elite donuts? Why didn't the CBC press him on his donut policy? Because they're the media arm of the Liberal party, that's why.

Clearly he should have stated his views on donut purchases. That way the media could have poked holes in his donut decisions.

What are Mr. Trudeau's views on other delicacies? Beats me. Does he prefer Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, which mimic the croissant, or will he take Canada down the path of the real McCoy French croissant, full of butter, fat and health care costs?

Stay tuned. The twats on Twitter will keep us informed.
