Pierre #Poilievre’s fake “Bring It Home” video is raising eyebrows in the UK press. Remarkable achievement for an opposition party..😮

“Canada’s Conservative party has deleted a social media campaign video with a heavily nationalist message with the video featuring scenes from other countries, including Ukrainian farmers, Slovenian homes, London’s Richmond Park and a pair of Russian fighter jets”

@gemelliz @disordered If there’s anything to conclude from this nonsense, it’s that #poilievre and his team are incompetent, careless, and lazy.

I'd wager this major faux pas is indicative of how Pierre #Poilievre would run #Canada; just throw anything together and figure Canadians are too stupid to notice.

Its disturbing that this team wants to govern the entire country & they can't even manage a video without a major screw up.

@gemelliz @JustinDerrick @disordered @edgarmtoro @alexblock classic stinkfish/ poisonous well approach; make it so horrid that it triggers a gag for the common people, and theyll gladly cross “X” on the name they’re hearing the most.

Hot take: #democracy needs to either die, or evolve.

@JustinDerrick @DanadasGrau @gemelliz @disordered @edgarmtoro @alexblock I would point to the interesting case of new zealand, who had a strong, bold, progressive, fierce, young premier, that eventually resigned, buckling under the pressure of… can we call it patriarchy? Old systems and ways? Conservatism? “‘Fa”?
