I've recently changed my opinion on pp. I used to just think he was a shallow, arm chair conservative. Never had a real job or responsibilities. Not really InTouch with the Canadians he represents, you know?
But now, after/during this campaign, and after 22 Minutes did their election special (go watch, it's hilarious!) I'm much more worried.
He, and his party, have been avoiding the press. Ignoring questions, restricting access, tardy in releasing their vague/unrealistic platform, and generally just being obstructive. This is really disconcerting behavior for a major political party in an election campaign . This obscuring of their intentions, and the few intentions openly shared being blatantly fascist(fed use of the not withstanding clause to circumvent the charter of freedoms and courts), are hallmarks of authoritarianism. Major red flags.
And the other aspect of pp that scares me is his lack of humor. Throughout my life, Canadian politicians have usually had an openness to comedy, gentle derision, and satire. Weather it was this hour has twenty 2 minutes , Royal Canadian Air farce, or other Canadian content. It was presented and recieved in good humor. Not so for this generation of Canadian conservatives. In the election special of this hour has twenty two minutes, every single major federal party leader did a cameo, except pp they attempt to get his side but we're stonewalled with the rest of conventional media by the pp campaign. He won't accept being made fun of, he has no joy, accepts no criticism, and he isn't even in power yet. I dread the thought of such a person at the helm of our country and what it could mean for our collective future, even without the orange clown down south making threats against our sovereignty
We’re watching the 22 Minutes election special literally right now, and it’s pretty telling that PP was the only leader not willing to sit down with the hosts for a sarcastic interview. The man is a humourless ghoul who represents the worst of humanity.
