scents and silly seaons

I see the novelty Christmas gift being sold… Justin Trudeau scented candles.  It’s a joke — every Trump hater loves the Canadian prime minister, the man ousted the last Conservative government off a policy plank they only wish a Democratic President would pursue and adopt…

… reminding one that the joke at the election and inauguration of Obama with Canada’s Conservative Party in power had been that hey!  Republicans / Conservatives could move to Canada!…

The problem comes in — ignoring the fact that I have no idea what Trudeau smells like — (Gheorghe Muresan cologne, anyone?) — the shine on Justin Trudeau has faded, or so I’ve read… typical political reasons of having to make his political compromises in an imperfect world and imperfect political landscape and of ultimately not going to measure up to your ideals.  Honeymoon over.  He sides with polluting industry over the environment noting the harmful effects on a local economy — that type of thing.  He is beginning to be your Obama sometime after the politics became a little cumbersome for you to stand.

But.  Hey.  It’s a scent of maple and Canada-y things with his pretty face on the box.  So why not?
