The resurrection of Ralph

He’s back!!! Long time Regina, Saskatchewan MP Ralph Goodale lost his seat in the 2019 federal election to newcomer Michael Kram of the Conservatives by well over 10 000 votes. This massive loss sent a wave of devastation through the Liberal party, as Ralph was always beyond loyal to the party over the country. Goodale described himself as a “loyal Liberal” in a post-election interview. “I’ve been a loyal Liberal in Saskatchewan for a very long time, much longer than a lot of people would have predicted”.

Considering Saskatchewan is overwhelmingly a Conservative-voting province, I think we could safely predict your days were numbered.

After 45 years in politics, Canadians thought they had seen the last of this hyper-partisan, line-toeing career politician.

They were wrong.

In the middle of the Corona Virus global pandemic, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invented a position and appointed Ralph Goodale to head up the failed investigation into the shooting of a Ukrainian plane by Iran last year. Iranian officials immediately denied the shooting down of the plane, and have since been accused of tampering with the crash site evidence, failing to provide families with personal belongings recovered and most recently failed to meet the deadline to hand over the plane’s black boxes. Goodale is tasked with advising the already massive bureaucracy on how to handle the many missteps in dealing with this tragedy – a task we can assume would be impossible for any of the Ministers, ministries or experts already deployed by this government.

Yesterday, in a Global News piece, Goodale was interviewed about the government’s handling of the Covid_19 crisis. “In an emergency situation, Canadians must be able to have absolute trust in their officials and, unless the government is forthright, that won’t happen” said Goodale.

The irony of this type of statement coming from Ralph doesn’t escape those of us who have felt the sting of his dishonesty. Ralph Goodale served as the Minister of Public Safety for the Liberals during their first term, introducing C-71, a bill solely targeting legal, licensed gun owners, as violent criminals and gangs went largely unchecked under his rule. His consistent twisting of the truth and manipulating of data made him a main target of disgruntled firearms owners and Canadians who value integrity.

So why the sudden resurrection of Ralph? This writer would wager it is an orchestrated, deliberate attempt to bring Goodale back to the front lines in preparation for the next step … the grooming of Goodale for a seat in the Senate. Trudeau has taken full advantage of the vacancies left by his predecessor, filling them with his hand-picked, leftist appointments and slapping the “Independent Senator” label on them.

Regardless of the massive defeat Ralph experienced during the last federal election, a resounding “you’re fired!” by the people who previously trusted him, … he’s back.

The grooming of Goodale is underway.
