"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels.
People like to think that the past is the past and that we have evolved beyond the pitfalls of what people experienced decades ago … we like to think that we are far more enlightened, smart, intelligent and capable than people a generation or two ago.
Unfortunately, what no one seems to understand or realize is that we are just as dumb (or smart) as the people who lived in the 1930s
The laws of propaganda, misinformation, disinformation, direction and misdirection are as alive and instrumental now as they were a hundred a years ago.
Oh thank fuck. I live in Alberta so it’s pretty hard to tell the political reality at times. So glad to know that Pierre’s that unpopular
Yup. Most Canadians do not support him however the weasel only has a chance because of first-past-the-post
Because of how politics works in Canada, it is still possible with today’s numbers for all the other parties to form a coalition government and elect someone else leader that’s not PP.
If you look at the actual seat-by-seat projections, current polls give a near mathematical certainty of a CCP majority.
Trudeau needs to take a page from Biden’s book and step down in time for there to be a leadership race. I don’t think it’s fair (he’s done fine as Prime Minister, imho) but he’s unelectable. A PP-led majority government could do a lot of damage.
He will never do that because the Liberals need a fall guy. I think after 4 years of a Conservative government people will be begging for anything but a return to that. In that time the Liberals can regroup and come forward with someone else. They aren’t going to win no matter who they put in at this point, this is the long term play.
It depends how the votes are distributed geographically. FPTP also means that only the most popular party in each riding gets any representation at all.
Wow he looks really weird…
