Stephen Harper is defending a Conservative ad campaign targeted at Chinese and Punjabi-speaking voters in Vancouver and Toronto that claims Justin Trudeau supports the sale of marijuana to children, the expansion of safe injection sites and the establishment of neighbourhood brothels.

1. Canadians have been complaining bitterly on another site I frequent

that US Republican campaign tactics are being used by the Canadian Conservatives. I guess they're correct: lying, especially to minorities they think are naive enough to buy it, seems to be one of their favorite tactics. The minority here in the US is the low information right wing Christian. See: "Obama will confiscate your bibles" in 2008. In Canada, I suppose it's the recent immigrants. Fortunately for other Canadians, most of them likely can't vote yet because they're still working to become citizens.

2. Many of them do vote. Punjabi and Chinese community is Vancouver are well over a hundred years old.

And the community press is saying they resent the implication that they can be
manipulated so easily by the Conservatives.

4. Yes, long time residents are going to see right through this bull shit.

The newly arrived are being considered too naive to see through it. I think they'll have the good sense to be insulted. We'll see.

The point is that the Conservatives do seem to be adopting some of the tactics of the Clown Party here.

5. Harper is known to be a Leo Straussian follower, like W's boys

He believes in the Noble Lie.it is okay to lie to the peopleto benefit the elite.

This tactic reminds me of FOX News and Republicans. Lie, cheat,, anything to win.
