Stayed up all night waiting for these...

Soooooo disappointed that there isn’t a single photo of Steve on the phone with an important person talking about important shit.

But here he is, the Big Guy, at a pre-budget consultation with the right wing think tank, C.D. Howe Institute, and consulting more on budget matters with members of the GTA Ontario caucus.

Sort of like being in an echo chamber, isn’t it?

Steve seems unusually relaxed, even a little excited to be among his own kind.

Probably needed to feel the love (or facsimile of) considering this news:

After that, Steve figured we needed more photos of him doing real important shit, so instead of letting MacKay hold up a giant fake check and announce infrastructure funding in his own riding of Central Nova, the Big Guy spent our tax money and flew his ass over to Nova Scotia to do that very important thing himself. 

Oh, look!  There’s Steve again, making sure to let us know who's really in charge by staying dead centre in the photo, the others fanned out each side of him, and him pretending he gives a damn about what MacKay has to say.  Notice the patronizing smile that says, “isn’t that cute?  MacKay has something to say!” 

What a man!  What a leader, stealing the show from his own Ministers!  What a hard worker, flying around on our tax dollar to stage photo ops and announce how he is spending our money in yet another Conservative riding!

Really, with such VERY IMPORTANT stuff to do, it’s understandable that he can’t manage a functioning Parliament at the same time.  Good to see he has his priorities straight.

Stay the course, Steve.  Now is not the time to do anything different.  Musn’t panic.  The economy is good, except when it isn’t, and the future looks promising except when it doesn’t. Steady hand at the helm, and all that.  And don’t forget that the US is our greatest partner and you really need to wait and see what it does before you make any decisions.
