Bobby Menard's Bad Year
After a rough year Robert is manic in his attempt to recover from the shock of seeing his true self.
Bobby's latest losing streak started when he showed up drunk and drinking for a YouTube interview with Beth Martens. Then, in an attempt to change the subject, he created the fanciful Artist Valley tale complete with an accompanying reality show. Then his star legal advice client, Lisa Chamberlain, was brought before the courts on an animal abuse charge which Rob pretended to have beaten. The loses piled up when Rob’s false claim to have successfully defended another client, “JV”, in a building code case was revealed as the bold-faced lie.
With the unmasking of the real Robert, Menard was faced the discrepancy between his unrealistic, fantastical view of himself and the drastically contrasting realization that he’s really a life-long loser. This sudden sense of defeat and loss of control produced disorientation and terror in Robert. His personality has been so overwhelmed that he is reflexively engaging in the psychological defense mechanisms of denial and magical thinking.
The latter in particular.
As Bobby’s Bad Year progressed he promised, but never delivered on a series of fanciful schemes. . .a book, law lectures and films.
Despite years ago having to flee Ontario to avoid prosecution for impersonating a peace officer Robby pretends he’s going to restart the Canadian Common Corps of Peace Officers. Comically, he says he is policing Ottawa during the upcoming Canada Unity rally saying "we are resurrecting it [the 3CPO] and we have funding in place. It's going to be huge."
Despite having been busted for stealing the name of a German video game company (Real 3Games) in an attempt to scam “investors”, Rob with a stroke of his magic keyboard proclaims that he’s going to magically revive the company.
Lastly, we are treated to the fantasy of Bobby returning to the role of freedom guru.

Dope Clock II: It's been 221 days since Bobby Menard announced plans to create "Artists Valley". So far all he has done is lie through his teeth.
