This seems like they are trying the political version of the trope where the "ugly duckling nerd" come back to school after summer with a new haircut and contacts and is suddenly "hot".
Do they really think the people on this country are that stupid? Polliviere is still the same cretin he was before.
Remember when they had Stockwell Day arrive at a press conference in a seadoo?
These guys do everything under the sun other than try to meaningfully help people or be accepting of different cultures / ideas / sexuality ... and instead try to pretend to be hip and new.
Whenever they try ... they just come off looking like idiots.
It works though, albeit only on people that use their emotions for decision making.
I suspect a good portion of the people who would be fooled, are already PP supporters.
I suppose it might make a slight bump, and with FPTP, sometimes that's all you need, but still seems like window-dressing, because it is.
Agreed, it sucks to sit here and see every party doing easy things that makes them look good rather than tackling the real problems under their jurisdictions. It extends far past the topics you mentioned, including inflation, housing prices, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.
I'm beginning to think that the Conservatives drank their own kool-aid and actually believe Trudeau only won due to his hair.
Some of them are, at least in the critical thinking and self perception department.
They forgot the bit where the βugly duckling nerdβ is clearly a fucking smoke show and they had to work hard to make them seem ugly.
