The picture below conveys all one needs to know about Kellie Leitch. In the right-hand corner is an ad placed by that very strange lady in
Breitbart.
Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch is running advertisements on alt-right website Breitbart news.
The advertisements include calls to dismantle the CBC, oppose the carbon tax and to screen immigrants for “anti-Canadian values.”
“We’re running ads about screening for Canadian values and dismantling the CBC because Kellie’s been very clear that those are her policies, that when she’s prime minister she will implement,” said Michael Diamond, a spokesperson for Leitch’s campaign.
Thanks for providing such clarity, Kellie.
It seems that some people -- with years of formal education -- can still be profoundly stupid, Lorne.
ReplyDeleteKellie Leitch exemplifies your observation in spades, Owen. Also, i sincerely believe that there is something wrong with her mental makeup.
DeleteWe call it "educated beyond their intelligence".
DeleteWe are at the point in our political culture Lorne where politicians like Kellie Leitch, not only, as she should, feel embarrassed about the tripe she is spouting, but instead she advertises it!
ReplyDeleteI think these absurd beliefs, they are not political policies, are directed at the Reform/Alliances base. She is reflecting the beliefs of her base. If she becomes their leader however, she will then have to face mainstream Canadians, who for the most part think she is a bigot and a bottom dweller.
Apart from her base, who in their right mind would vote for this woman?
The fact that she is so out of touch with who she really is and that she thinks she can really win the highest office in the land, I find truly jaw dropping. . It would be like having someone from "Deliverance" as our PM.
A very apt simile, Pamela; your reference to Deliverance conjures up all sorts of ugly imagery, well-placed and apt when talking about the bestial appeal Kelly Leitch is making to her base.
DeleteHer ad in Breitbart speaks to her departure from Canadian mainstream political thought. It's as much an admission of where she expects to find her base - that alt.right/white supremacist crowd that frequents Breitbart. She's self-identifying as extremist.
