If you haven't read it yet, check out Owen's post today about the uproar over Conservative MPs feting Christine Anderson, the far-right politician from Germany. Now embroiled in damage control. Con leader PP insists there is no place for such extreme views in Canada, claiming that his MPs knew nothing about her racism.
The entire incident reminds one of the axiom that we are judged by the company we keep. Which brings us to the following TikTok video, reposted on Twitter, in which lisab0923 brings up some unpleasant truths that PP would rather we not ponder:
Sad that the reformatoties thinks so little of us that their strategy is to be as stupid and racist as possible.
ReplyDeleteTheir contempt for Canadians is stunning, rumleyfips, at least to those of us who are reasonably normal and can think.
DeleteLike Trump walked away from the Proud Boys , Poilievre's Cons walk away from Anderson; but do they really?
ReplyDeleteTakes me back to this old clip!

An outstanding selection, TB! It should be required viewing as a reminder of what the Conservatives stand for.
DeleteMad Max is loving it. He's going to get back some of his imbeciles since Pierre showed that he might not have the staying power for the long game. Footsie can be a complex game in politics.
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun to see the internecine wars begin, John.
DeleteThere is lots of time left , before an election, for Pierre to self destruct.
ReplyDeleteIf he does not then we, in Canada, are in for a Trump moment!!
Only if we sleepwalk to the next election, Anon, which is not an unlikely scenario, eh?
DeleteThanks for the first link, TB, which sounds like a parody but isn't. As for the second link, this excerpt, I think, neatly summarizes its nonsense: "this rhetoric comes right out of George Orwell’s playbook."
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we live in an age where people can get away with all kinds of false claims, since both ideologically and cognitively, many lack the capacity to assess nonsense.
