The Eve Adams conversion to Trudeau Liberalism gets stranger by the day. Now the Huffington Post says that the ambitious MP plans to run against Finance Minister Joe Oliver in Eglinton–Lawrence. It seems quite a challenge for Ms Adams, who would not normally be taken for the “sacrificial lamb” type of candidate. (Or was that the deal?) It’s true Oliver had to defeat long-time Liberal back bencher Joe Volpe. Still, Oliver has acquitted himself well. In this mixed Jewish riding, many will wonder if Ms. Adams would know how to place an order at United Bakers. Then there is her other baggage. Will Oliver sneaks arrange a bad car wash in the hope Adams will block the gas pumps? But elections are tricky. Mr. Oliver is 74, albeit very active and alert. Will he be vulnerable to this 41-year-old glamourous would-be giant killer? Stay tuned.
