Unveils? This was Trump's idea! AGAIN!
FFS! He's so unoriginal!
This predates Trump by decades. Officials from states that had tried three strikes tough on crime laws told Harper it didn't work but he did it anyway. You tell stupid period that crime is out if control to make them afraid then tell them that you are the only politician that will protect them by being tough on crime.
Sound familiar? Republicans have been doing it in the US for decades. Polievre is trying to do it here. The foreign neo-fascist oligarch owned corporate media has been hyping crime in Canada without telling you that there is a major biker war going on and that unless you're a biker the spike in crime isn't going to touch you.
Also, what happened to the Haitians in Springfield eating pets. I thought the Trumper were going fix that as soon as they got into office, or was that just a lie to make morons fear and fate immigrants to help Trump get elected?
Don't let Polievre do that to Canada.
Yeah, I know it's been promoted before. But Trump was the first president I remember bringing it up.
Poilièvre wouldn't bring up something like Haitians eating pets though. That's now how he is. As much as I dislike the guy, I know he's not that kind of racist. His wife, Anaida grew up in Pointe-Aux-Trembles in Montreal, where I am from, and I know she had Haitian friends. She would throw a fucking fit and probably divorce him if he even thought about something like this.
I am concerned about him saying DEI is crap though. And I'd like to hear what his wife, a girl from immigrant parents who grew up in poverty, has to say about this.
1993 was the first true three strikes law. It was passed in Washington state.
I wasn't suggesting that Petite Polievre would trot out the overt racism but that he is playing from the same playbook as Trump and his supporters include white supremacists and racists to whom he appeals with talk about immigrants.
Ah. That's true.
