With a steady lead in the polls and a healthy war chest of political donations, the Conservative Party is rolling out a trio of new advertisements that are being viewed as aiming to redefine and soften Pierre Poilievre's image and messaging.

Is this true? I have disconnected myself from a lot of political media for the summer while working in the bush, and this caught me by surprise. What the fuck?
Yup. People are pissed at Trudeau and the Liberals so automatically turn to the Cons instead of, you know, the NDP or Greens ... like we have a two-party system or something.
It seems to me people like PP because of their stance on inflation, which for most is the single biggest issue facing Canada today. Cons are proposing budget cuts, and the NDP are proposing a grocery store tax as solutions. People will probably be more favorable towards whichever solution they think will be the most effective.
If removing gas tax is any indication in Ontario, and gas prices stayed the same because the price was still what the market could bear, cutting taxes on grocery stores just means that the stores make more profit. The NDP idea of taxing profit "seems" more effective, but if anyone familiar with Hollywood accounting will say that profits will disappear before taxes are properly paid. They need to tax income.
Thanks. I guess I will have to try to mobilize more people to get off their ass and go vote. So many of the people I know just don't care enough to vote. But maybe the bitcoin and convoy-fellation facts about this pile of shit will help motivate more.
I have no hope that it will... But if I don't try, I will hate myself.
Remind them that there are exactly 0 safe CPC members now for abortion rights due to recent voting (yes, private member bills are still showing up to try and remove rights, but this time Squinty is in charge and all his members are allowed to vote 'with their conscience' now).
