The Conservative Party’s own fans are doing a great job making them look bad all by themselves 😂

They were also poking fun at the polls and infighting within the party (I.e., Jenni Byrne vs. Ford’s campaign manager who made critical comments). Total insider baseball and not a nefarious campaign at influencing public perception.

Who were they brainwashing? It was a convention for the Conservative Party. These weren’t buttons planted at a public rally.

Interesting that @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social treated this like a scandal and allowed a quote from a CPC spokesperson accusing the Liberals of importing American style politics to go unchallenged when their own reporting shows this is common and the Conservatives have engaged in it too.

Carney unreservedly apologized while the Poilievre and the CPC have yet to denounce the F Carney flags, violent threats and vandalism of Liberal signs with swastikas.
The double standard is obvious.

These buttons were handed out by senior Conservative Party members at the 2006 Liberal Leadership convention. One depicts contender Belinda Stronach who crossed the floor.
The CBC treated it like a joke in its 2014 article.
Remember this when the CPC accuses Liberals of American-style politics.

Of course it was Harper! Poilievre is so fake.

There’s a reason he won’t get security clearance.

Pierre has had 20 years to care about tax havens and only started when it became an avenue to attack Mark Carney. He’s a political opportunist with no values.

So, Stephen Harper was involved in the planning & operation to overthrow a duly elected government?
How is this not a major headline & investigation?
comment in response to

Between this and CPC candidate and PP biographer Andrew Lawton’s involvement in the convoy Signal group, it seems like Pierre Poilievre helped orchestrate an attack on Canada’s democracy, given the convoy wanted to overthrow the government, for his own political gain.

Businesses support deregulation. For all Pierre’s talk about Brookfield, he’s supportive of companies doing whatever in the pursuit of profit.

Everything is projection.
For example, now PP is claiming he’s for vets despite being aligned with Harper‘s terrible record.

The CBC has now updated the story with pertinent details. How the first version ever made it online is beyond me.
comment in response to
post
I have no idea how the first version was ever published.
With the new info, imo, it’s unlikely this was condoned by the Liberal campaign. I expect that once the party verifies the story & identifies the staffers (something I wish the journalist did) that they will be fired and an apology made.

And how can we be SURE they were Liberal staffers?

5 minutes after I posted, the CBC updated the article. It reads like less of a blind item now. Judge for yourself what you believe but it does fair worse for the Liberals but I personally do not believe these actions were condoned by Carney and heads should roll.
comment in response to
post
The article was JUST updated. It reads like less of a blind item now. There’s still a chance that the group could have been CPC posing as Liberals but that’s a stretch.
My question now is what will the Liberal Party do? If this wasn’t condoned strategy, some people need to be fired publicly.
comment in response to
post
The article has now been updated to say that the journalist had drinks with the group who had identified themselves as Liberals (so less of a blind item).
The question is now whether they acted alone or if this was condoned.
comment in response to
post
The reporting is shockingly bad. It’s basically hearsay with no effort to identify the sources or verify their story. Why amplify this garbage? I’ve submitted a complaint to the CBC ombudsman about it.

If it happened, it’s so low. But the Conservatives accusing the Liberals of bringing American-style politics to Canada is rich.
comment in response to
post
The decline in the US is specifically because of these MAGA con types. It’s the same in Canada — the trashy F flags and anti-science garbage, stealing and defacing lawn signs. It’s all them.

My office gives us 2 hours off on election days to vote. I don’t have a voting card because I moved and I’m probably registered at my old address. So I’m a bit worried about that — may vote early to ensure if there is an issue, I can resolve it.
comment in response to
post
There is a mob mentality. Most of the PP supporters I know never cared about politics before but now they have a team that stooped low enough, gave a voice to their anger, hate or desire to restrict free thinking and free choice (even if PP skirts around it, he’s welcomed it)

Why do I have to answer media questions. I don’t need security clearance. I’m entitled to be Prime Minister. Daddy Stephen Harper said so.

comment in response to

Under Harper, Justice Department lawyers argued that the country had no extraordinary obligation to its soldiers, and that the current administration cannot be bound by the promises of previous governments.
They spent $750,000 in court to deny veterans their pensions.
And a hundred other things.

The CPC has been on this path for years. Third leader in a row. Canadians don’t want what they’re offering — far right, anti-woke culture war nonsense — and marketing and makeovers won’t change that.
To quote Mark Carney, the CPC needs to look inside themselves.

He’s lying and anyone who buys the flimsy excuse has allowed their identity as a conservative to take priority over their critical thinking.

And Poilievre’s entire campaign staff works for Loblaws.

Best not to vote for the Loblaws lobbyist party if groceries is your concern.
