Speaking in Vancouver Thursday, Pierre Poilievre claimed he was asked multiple times by the WestJet cabin crew to speak and the union should be the one apologizing.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Americanisation of our society, where people know more about the Constitution of the United States than they do about the Canadian Constitution.
None of what these right wing tools have to say needs to make any sense. Ever. They run on faith, belief and fantasies, and they can change anytime, anyhow, anywhere.
It's the same as Christian religion ... it's an evolving idea where you cherry pick the good parts, mash it together, create a catch phrase and talk with authority ... and the people will follow you long enough for them not to realize before it's all too late.
It's utterly insane how all it takes to get somebody to vote against their self-interests is to rile them up and tell them what they want to hear. Poilievre's program has literally nothing to offer to your average middle-class Joe. Literally nothing. His whole platform is populist BS and your usual rich-get-richer conservative policies.
That's disappointing to hear. Anyone in a union should be aware that Conservatives are the enemy of the working class and will do anything to keep workers wages/rights suppressed.
Most people are some combination of Ignorant and apathetic, so a politician (of any stripe) usually has more luck saying something snappy and quotable rather than making some long thoughtful nuanced remark.
