My predictions for things that will *not* happen in 2021:

1. Sometime, in the middle of February, Doug Ford will tell the truth for an entire week.
2. Stephen Lecce will tweet a tweet which doesn't include the words "gratitude" and "consultative", and - actually includes a fact.

3. Jason Kenney will announce funding for a university scholarship for liberal arts students whose parents don't actually contribute to the UCP.
4. Erin O'Toole will admit he and Andrew Scheer were never really scrappy middle-class kids growing up.

5. Doug Ford will preserve a green space.
6. Jason Kenney will announce that Albertans will now have to pay their fair share by paying a provincial sales tax.
7. Conservative governments across Canada will recruit and hire communications staff with some recognizable skillset.

8. Pierre Poilievre will offer a solution to a problem.
9. Michelle Rempel will unblock 66% of the Canadian voting population.
10. Stephen Lecce will say, after doing such a good job "keeping schools safe", teachers will receive a cost-of-living raise.

11. Doug Ford will go an entire year without appointing a new Finance Minister
12. Christine Elliott will say out loud that people have died and that her government may have dropped the ball a titch.
13. Lecce will go an entire year without deleting an erroneous or bungled tweet.

14. Doug Ford will introduce a Bill containing proposed legislation that benefits the majority of Ontarians.
15. Jason Kenney will admit he screwed something up and thank Rachel Notley for helping him come up with a timely solution.
16. Matt Wolf will tweet something sensical.

17. Denise Batters will do something impartial at work, which actually proves to be in the best interest of the general population.
18. Sam Oosterhoff will not call the police.
19. Doug Ford's heart will go unbroken for an entire fiscal quarter.

20. Brian Lilley will write an article that doesn't contain the phrase, "It may only be a rumour, but..."
21. Tyler Shandro will demonstrate non-partisan competence.
22. Conservative politicians and their staff begin taking non-secret vacations somewhere in their home provinces.

23. Erin O'Toole's Comms team begins tweeting ideas with substance and stops the practice of begging people to be with Erin.
24. Justin Trudeau speaks for 15 minutes straight without pausing for dramatic effect.

25. Canada's Progressive Conservative parties commit to, and demonstrate, a recognizable shift in approach and ideology, begin offering positive - and even moderately progressive - policies and ideas, and I renew my party membership.
