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.
