If you have damaging stuff on your opponent you you save it until 7-10 days before the election for maximum effect. And then you drip it out one by one. Example, first Trudeau pic comes out 10 days before election. Trudeau apologizes/makes excuses. Then you release another one nullifying his apology and putting him back on the defensive. Then you release the third one as a potential nail in the coffin. So unless they have more dirt it was kinda silly just tossing it all out there in one day so far ahead of the election. Mr Scheer gets a D in Political Skullduggery 101. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How low is the bar in the US these days? Suprised they really even care about our politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Scheer gets a D in Political Skullduggery 101. I think Scheer did this now because on Sep. 18th according to 338 (http://338canada.com) the Liberals took the lead at 35% to the CPCs 34%. Scheer needed to stop Trudeau from gaining any more ground. But the timing was dumb. There's time for Trudeau to recover somewhat. Not saying he will be there's time for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One racist (Sheer) is promoting his opponent's (Trudeau's) racism to deflect attention from his own. Nice political system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His presser last night was pure insincere theatre. Canadians love an apology and Trudeau is taking the full weight of it, short of quitting (which would be stupid). He's coming across as truly sorry for it, not just sorry for being caught. And its bringing his actual track record in to the spotlight which up to now has been very good on these issues. He has a chance at being forgiven and surviving this, whereas Scheer looks to be setting himself up for another dull thud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if JT comes out actually smelling rosier on the other side of this, as he'll be able to actually highlight and focus on all the good things he's done/said for minorities (despite this pretty benign slip up/poor judgement) and continue to press Scheer on his and his parties at best iffy, and at worst damning, record. This could MASSIVELY backfire for the Cons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're using it again. I'll 100% stand behind a guy who is apologizing for being stupid as opposed to a guy with a clear voting records and history of intolerance.

Scheer has overplayed his hand a couple of times already particularly on SNC. If Trudeau is forgiven for the most part it just makes Scheer look stupid.

How many times has Scheer said that now to a collective yawn? Somehow Scheer is going to manage to not be able to capitalize on this one too.

They naturally want him, because of his good looks, to lead. It's either JT, who looks the part, or Scheer. People will forgive JT and vote in a Liberal majority. If JT were not so attractive, we would naturally want to vilify him. That's why Scheer is not so easily forgiven for past transgressions. We intrinsically don't think he looks the leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
