JUXTAPOSE!

Conservatives who have relentlessly, for the last three years, branded everything unpleasant associated with any branch or level of government with the modifier "Trudeau" -- the Trudeau deficit, Trudeau's mask mandates, Trudeau's state broadcaster, Trudeau's immigrants, Trudeau's Supreme Court, Trudeau's pipeline, Trudeau's carbon tax, Trudeau's bureaucrats, Trudeau's gun regulations, Trudeau's RCMP...

And yet today, Erin O'Toole congratulated the "diplomats" who negotiated the return of the Michaels to Canada. Curiously, these were, apparently, not "Trudeau's" diplomats.

[Stolen shamelessly from early morning commenter. Totally fucking brilliant.]

Harper-era diplomats, no doubt, kept in cold storage in a secret Centre Block cryochamber for deployment in emergencies.

Minor correction--the right LIKE pipelines, so they do not, in fact, talk about Trudeau's pipeline but rather studiously ignore that he bought that puppy just for them. Ingratitude thy name is Conservative.
As a left winger I DO talk about Trudeau's pipeline because it was after all Trudeau's personal decision to buy the damn thing; it was not a random feature of government that Trudeau just happened to be vaguely associatable with because he's sitting at the top. But Conservatives don't.
