Poilievre’s strategy: blame the Liberals
For our edification Pierre Poilievre provides a video depicting himself the jocular, helpful neighbour, holding up his coffee cup, telling us of that awful Justin Trudeau holidays for two weeks in Costa Rica while we pay 14% more for coffee.
Poilievre fancies himself an economist. He goes on to tell us there is inflation and all because of “this prime minister” who had the audacity to top up incomes for Canadians during a once-in-a-century global pandemic, enabling some to even save and buy goods, thereby propping up the economy. He does not mention supply chain issues lingering from the pandemic or the fact that a protracted period of low interest rates has encouraged some to make unwise housing decisions, forcing up prices. Instead he calls it “printing money.” No affordable housing? Well, just to help out, Poilievre and his wife each have an extra house they rent out “to deserving families,” he tells us.
He fails to mention his own trip to Portugal or his financial history of never straying from the public trough. Nor does he suggest he will donate any part of the massive pension he has accumulated since 2004 to the inflationary cause.
Poilievre, consorting with the Diagalon movement, has been photographed shaking hands with the founder. Diagalon employs “ironic poisoning,” a mode of propaganda used to desensitize the public to extremist, hateful rhetoric, to “normalize” anti-authority, white supremacy, anti-semitism and people posing in hideous violent images on social media.
The individual that Poilievre shook hands with has a publicly stated motto, “by gun or by rope “describing how his enemies can choose to die.
The Bible sums this scenario up , succinctly: “By your associations, you will be known.”
We are systematically being “desensitized” to the chronic vitriol spewed by the Conservative Opposition, are paying them handsomely to do it to us, and being treated to “dumbed down” language so we, the ignorant , malleable voters won’t mind .
“I’m running for Prime Minister,” says Poilievre, in order to “save us from this Prime Minister.” How noble. Survival of the fittest is always the Conservative solution, calling it “freedom,” a clear example of “Pull up the ladder, Jack, I’m OK.”
