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...

"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."...

..."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 That membership is no longer active," Sarah Fischer, the party's director of communications, said in an email.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'.
