It just hit at just the right time. Violating Covid restrictions was practically a sport here in America for our political class, and none of our politicians were kicked out of office for it. Justin Trudeau has had his share of sexual assault and harassment issues in his political orbit, and he's still chugging along.

It seems like they figured out the answer to, "Well, can't be any worse than Johnson, can it?"

Whoopsie.

Either way, Labour's basically measuring drapes at this point.
