MODERATORS
An election hasn't even been called yet but I've already seen a Conservative attack ad. In it, they refer to "Carbon Tax Carney" as being a sneaky character with conflicts of interest.
I mean wth. Carney ended the carbon tax as one of his first acts in office. (Not that I had anything against it, but whatever.)
And let's talk about conflicts of interest for a moment. Poilievre refuses to get a security clearance to get briefed on foreign meddling in Canadian political campaigns which was deemed urgent by CSIS. They decided to make an exception for him and offered the briefing regardless but he basically screamed LA-LA-LA I don't have to listen to this!
The only conclusion I've been able to draw from all this is that he and/or his party are the beneficiaries of said foreign interference and he wants plausible deniability in case it surfaces. It would also explain his reluctance to have embedded press following him around digging into things.
Those ads work. My 60yo mother told me, "I don't know much about him but he just seems sneaky to me for some reason."
And then I later saw the intentionally sinister red-washed ads and it all made sense.
Man that is depressing. I know people like this too, alas.
We're about one year into a constant deluge of off-season CPC-sponsored attack ads everywhere.
Well, apparently.
I need to go give the team behind uBlock Origin a hug, or a beer.
Yeah I have not seen an CPC-sponsored ad anywhere either, I wish I could give the pi-hole team a hug as well. Not happy with there new update and how it has made it not work with homebridge but I still would be happy to hug them!
It's a TV ad.
Antagonizing the journalists, what a strategy β it worked so well for Maxime Bernier.
If you aren't willing to get grilled by This hour has 22 minutes you don't deserve to be PM.
Rick Mercer literally went to Stephen Harper's house lol
PP could hardly put a sentence together when ambushed at a rally by Dan from 22 minutes.
Lol damn right... π
Worked very well for Stephen Harper. He told them he wouldn't take questions from them, and then they covered his press releases with vigour.
Does he finally have security clearance?
To quote a famous political ad, βheβs just not readyβ.
PP doesn't even trust PP to have security clearance, apparently
This is what maple MAGA looks like.
Do Canadians want Trump lite, because this is how you get a Trump lite.
I prefer Maple MAGA over trump lite, just my two cents.
Either way I do not want a CPC majority or minority.
If there isn't a majority, will any of the other parties work with CPC
Unless there are multiple PPC people sitting I do not see a coalition.
They're scared he will say something they don't want him to say. The puppet masters pull the strings.
Heβs so slimy that everything he says will hurt him.
Not even allowing wire services is peak cowardice. Literally the least biased reporting you can get.
0 transparency 0 accountability
Iβm hoping Carney keeps up the momentum here. As much as I didnβt want the liberals to rule Canada again, the recent nonsense of the US and PPs week in the knees bend over for Trump, religion and privatization status, we need to nip the Canadian cons in the butt.
Itβs all gonna hinge on the next couple of weeks/months with Trump, IMHO. His (probably perceived) handling of the situation, and how much he can limit the damage for your average voter will probably dictate the results.
If you nip it in the bud, no one has to do any butt stuff. π
My understanding is conservatives love butt stuff, even though publically they deny it.
Maybe, but we can't be sure until they call their rivals sodomists.
Thatβs fair.
I bet they won't show up for all-candidates meetings either.
Drop the transparency PP and the people drop the support.
It's because pp is a pussy! CANADA DOESN'T NEED A SMALL pp
