.FredDeLorey: There's a Hole in the Bucket, Dear Johnston, Dear Johnston
As this past holiday weekend unfolded, I found myself captivated by our youngest child, barely six years old, a budding artist with an uncanny knack for remembering and re-enacting the most obscure snippets of song and film. A new obsession captured his imagination - the old folk tune "There's a Hole in My Bucket."
Just as Henry finds himself stuck in a relentless loop, seeking Liza's help for a hole in his bucket only to face a series of new issues with each proposed solution, our political landscape seems to be trapped in a similar conundrum. This pattern of circular, unproductive problem-solving, mirrored in our political dynamics, especially regarding allegations of foreign interference in the 2021 election, presents a disturbingly apt parallel.
However, the scenario changed dramatically over the winter when the Globe and Mail and Global News broke several news stories on the topic. The whispers turned into a roar, and reports of foreign interference occupied headlines, forcing my Conservative colleagues to change their tune. The hole in our political bucket could no longer be ignored.While many advocated for a public inquiry as a panacea for our damaged bucket, my years on the campaign trail led me to believe otherwise.
