After having a lot of reflection the last few days. Bob will not be running for the Liberal Leadership Race

Why Bob Isn’t Running for Liberal Party Leader

Can’t Beat Justin Trudeau’s Hair

Let’s be real—if I’m running for leader, I need iconic hair. And my toque collection just doesn’t cut it.

Debates Aren’t Photogenic

Have you seen how debates are lit? Terrible shadows, unflattering angles, and not a single golden hour moment. Pass.

National Crisis: My Printer Runs Out of Ink

Imagine the headlines: “Bob’s Campaign Stalls as Canon Selphy Runs Dry Mid-Poster Run.” I can’t take that kind of pressure.

The National Bob-mentum Movement Would Spiral Out of Control

Before you know it, there’d be Bob-themed hats, a Bob-themed holiday, and “Bobberals” as the official party name. Chaos!

I’d Miss All the Good Photo Walks

Campaign trails are hectic, and I’d probably have to trade exploring Kensington Market for shaking hands in Timmins. No thanks.

Blue Plaques Don’t Photograph Themselves

Who will document Toronto’s historic plaques if I’m busy explaining fiscal policy? The city deserves better.

My Platform Would Be Too Niche

“Mandatory street photography for all Canadians” and “National Poutine Day” sound great, but I’m not sure they’ll carry the vote in Parliament.

Parliament Needs More Flash

And not the kind from my Sony HVL-F20M. Apparently, strobe lights aren’t allowed during Question Period—so much for spicing things up.

“Photogate” Would Ruin Me

Imagine the scandal: “Bob Caught Using AI for Photo Captions—Nation Outraged!” I can’t handle that kind of heat.

I’d Turn Every Press Conference Into a Photo Shoot

Journalists would show up with notebooks, and I’d be there yelling, “Hold still, the lighting’s perfect!” It’s a bad look.

Diplomatic Risks Are High

Imagine me at a G7 summit handing out my business cards with links to my Flickr albums. Canada deserves better—or does it?

I Have a Better Chance of Being Canada’s Poet Laureate

My campaign slogan would probably be something like: “Keep Calm and Snap On.” Catchy? Yes. Electable? Maybe not.

Prime Minister Photo Ops Are Too Stressful

Imagine me trying to pose with a shovel at a tree-planting ceremony while also worrying about the bokeh in the background. Not happening.

Alien Lawn Decorations Deserve More Coverage

The world needs me to uncover the truth about UFO-themed Christmas displays, not debate supply chain economics.

I’d End Every Speech With “Smile!”

And that’s just not Prime Ministerial.
