Lessons?WeDon'tNeedNoStinkingLessons!
In retrospect, it looks like, perhaps, Marky Mark had a premonition (and/or an mp3 file) that set him to thinking that something was coming down the tracks Thursday:
Because, low and behold, on Friday the CBC published a wee-bit of a fact checking piece base on Ms. Clark's soon to be released national radio interview on 'The House' in which the subject of her consorting with the Conservative Party of Canada came up:
Former B.C. premier Christy Clark — who is considering running for the federal Liberal leadership — is denying that she was previously a member of the Conservative Party, despite past comments where she said otherwise...
{snip}
"I never got a membership and I never got a ballot," Clark told host Catherine Cullen in an interview airing Saturday.
"I came out and I supported Jean Charest and the reason I did this is simple: I thought it was vitally important that we stopped Pierre Poilievre."...
{snip}
..."I never got a membership and I never got a ballot," Clark told host Catherine Cullen in an interview airing Saturday.
A spokesperson for the Conservative Party refuted Clark's claims, saying they have records of Clark's membership from the 2022 leadership race.
"Christy Clark purchased a Conservative Party membership through Jean Charest's leadership campaign. That membership is no longer active," Sarah Fischer, the party's director of communications, said in an email.
When asked about Fischer's statement, Clark pushed back and insisted she had never been a member.
"Why don't they come out and show my membership or my ballot? They never sent me any of those — although I wouldn't put it past them to manufacture one of them," Clark told Cullen.
Following Clark's interview on The House, the Conservative Party provided a screenshot of a membership database that suggests Clark had membership from June 2022 to June 2023.
Clark's comments to CBC News also contradict what she had said during the time of the Conservative leadership contest...
Well.
Just as those of us who have been paying attention for the last twenty years, plus, might have predicted...
Shite, happens, indeed.
The real question, now is, what lesson did the good Ms. Clark learn, exactly?
(and please note that Ms. Clark, in the vTweet above, did not admit either that she had been a Conservative Party of Canada member or that she lied about it, multiple times, during and after a national radio interview about if and why she 'might' run for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada)

Tip 'O The Toque to reader Graham for the heads-up on all this yesterday afternoon....
Post to follow?...Where, exactly, was Ms. Clark, and what was she doing, when she jumped on the Charest train back in oh so long ago 2022?

If PP and CC ever have a lying contest, i will not be taking bets!
Gar--
Personally, I'm waiting to see how the pivot is going to be performed by CC wherein she spins her Con adjacency into a big tent 'asset' for those Fed Libs that still, despite all evidence to the contrary, think that the charma chameleon approach of the good Mr. Charest can still 'work'.
.
The problem with that is it just might work... just ignore all that noise from the Left coast!
Once a narcissistic liar, always a narcissistic liar, just like the Mango Mussolini down south.
I can just imagine clark launching one of those withering looks, stares, at the cbc report who was asking her all those annoying questions about things she said before bit denies now but it’s on the record and look, the cons provided proof. She doesn’t like being cornered especially when she chased herself into it. smith is also the owner of this type of stare/look when something that makes her look bad becomes apparent or is asked about.
Speaking of lessons learned....or soon to be lessons...
My latest...
Trump's Campaign Promises Come Face to Face With Reality........MAGA Voters Get Sold Snake Oil And Lies

Clark was more than screwy enough back in 2012 to have me renew my activism in the NDP. If she were to ask me for political advice I would tell her to keep her powder dry for a run at the BC Conservative Party leadership when Rusty inevitably needs replacing.
Doesn't Sturko have that pretty much sewn up? Sadly, we have to contend with the slimness of Con/Lieberal losses and the sense that there a lot of Soccer Party Moms looking to carry on the tradition.
cristy err – umm misspeaking, the look says it all,

As Mom used to say a leopard doesn't change its spots. Why would any one think CC was going to change.
Back in the day, she was giving a speech to a "gathering" of party faithful out in the Valley at some other B.C. Lieberal type's farm. A blogger, Alex Tasukamus, had the tape up on his blog (at least I think it was his blog) Having seen some of it earlier, turned off the sound and watched it twice. That is how you know what CC is really saying, turn off the sound and simply watch her body language and face. That tells you all you need to know.
Why change your act when its successful or semi successful? If CC is running for the leadership of the federal Liberals, the party brass may want to hold the funeral now, for the party. PP might want to find another job because she will out "perform" him every time. PP is a nasty piece of business and he looks it. CC, ditto, but she smiles and does her happy face routine.
Its difficult to say whether she thinks she can get away with lying or she has herself convinced she is telling the truth. But truly what does it matter. CC is not known for telling the truth. One can hardly forget her line about deducting child support from a custodial parent nickel for nickel if they were on disability. Her rational was the province needed the money, yes all $14M of it. While the parent and one child was living on $1,200 per month the MLAs were receiving $1,200 a month just in housing allowance whether the leg was sitting or not. If people want that type of mind set and untruthfulness to potentially become the P.M. of Canada or the leader of the federal Liberal Party, we are in deed in trouble.
Currently the federal Liberal Party is running ads against PP. If you substitute CC;s name in there, her opposition for leader of the federal Liberals could use the same ad against her.
One does wonder what Marky is getting out of all of this and what his plans are if CC is elected leader of the Liberals and were to become P.M. She and Donald and Musk will get on well.
