I have a friend, subversive in his own way, who joined the Conservative Party for $15. He is entitled to thus vote in the September leadership election. I'm think he bought the membership in support of Pierre Poilievre, a man we both agree is not fit for such a position; it is sobering to be reminded, according to his rhetoric, that he is running to become "your next prime minister."
While Pierre no longer extols Bitcoin as a bulwark against inflation and government control, he is currently casting himself as a real 'man of the people,' something the following video amply illustrates. Note how easily and pseudo-empathetically his moves amongst them.
BTW, it is four-minute long; for the constitutionally delicate, one-minute of his propaganda should suffice to get his 'message.'
This is unbelievable.
People are lining up for a passport at 3AM. They wait 7 hours, or longer. Some are just turned away and told to come back tomorrow.
What’s taking so long?
This is the waiting nation.
We are asked to wait for everything, as sleepy bureaucrats and government gatekeepers stand in the way of you getting the basic services to which you are entitled.
Sound familiar?
Watch and share my new video:
BTW, his propaganda is clearly reaching some. If you want to read the adoring comments he has elicited from true believers, click here.
Isn't it strange how "men of the people" turn out to be something -- or someone -- else?
ReplyDeleteAnd yet the true believers never realize how they are being manipulated, Owen.
ReplyDelete.. As an accomplished producer, director, editor, cameraman, writer.. I can dissect a video clip, consider the structure & ‘bones’ of the clip, the audio requirements, stock music usage, location access & permissions. My son can do this as well..
ReplyDeleteI’ll go on record here & inquire how Poilievre et al got permission to use a Federal Passport office & property as shooting LOCATION.. and Canadian Applicants as PROPS for his personal aggrandizement, venomous teleprompter ‘speech’
When I shot or ran a crew in Banks or the TSE, in Airports, Hospitals, Mines, Refineries, Prisons, even Shopping Malls.. someone with ‘clout’ jumped through hoops just to get me there with a camera
Just sayin, Lorne.. something pretty ‘hinky’ goin on with someone & somewhere that he got away with this promotional shoot. I thought he was just an MP from Carleton Riding.. had no idea he could get such access.
What next ? He can shoot partisan promotional propaganda, with camera, producer, soundman, make-up, hair, teleprompter etc inside Election Voting Locations ?
Someone got the Gold Letter Permission from someone to get away with this.. Security was forewarned.. Just try it .. I dare anyone.. go ahead & try
You make some outstanding points here, Anon, and I'll be honest: I did not think of a single one of them. Thanks for your contribution. It seems to me that this is the stuff of scandal (Canadian style).
DeleteDo we believe Michael Harris?
ReplyDelete"if Poilievre sneers his way into the Conservative Party leadership. That will be the end of his voyage"
It does sound a lot like the media hype about tRump in 2015.
Given the increasingly fractured and fractious nature of Canadian society, POV, your point is well-taken.
