Andrew Scheer vows to deliver
what recent prime ministers could not:
Build the Trans-Mountain pipeline,
fix Canada-United States relationship,
take politics out of military procurement,
balance the budget
and go very, very tough on China.
These may be unattainable
but
I crave empty promises.
They give me something to cheer for
once every four years.
