For the sake of the non-Canadians in this newsgroup, Horny is referring 
to the time when Progressive-Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, 
seeing that he was VERY low in the polls - although not as low as Justin 
Trudeau is - resigned near the end of his second term. The party chose 
Kim Campbell as its new leader but that didn't really help the party, 
which was despised almost as much as Trudeau's Liberals are today, at 
the election a few months after Campbell was chosen: the 
Progressive-Conservatives got only 2 seats in the entire parliament, a 
new record low for a major party. Horny jokingly calls her 4 months in 
office Kim's Summer Job for 1993. (Campbell lost her own seat in the 
1993 election and left politics.)

I've seen pundits predict 9 seats for the Liberals in our next election 
and one even predicted just 6 seats. Personally, I hope it is zero: the 
Liberals really need to understand how badly they've shit the bed since 
Trudeau became PM in 2015. Time will tell....
