I think this is May's approach to politics.
According to Fife Harper called the Ford brothers "a bunch of losers" last year. They were introduced as "two great sons of Etobicoke Center" at his rally this week. If Harper thinks two losers are great sons of Etobicoke, what does that say about what he thinks of the rest of the people in Etobicoke. I guess they are losers since they will still keep on kissing dear leader's ass even after knowing this

VIRDEN, Man. – A Canadian flag was removed from a Manitoba advance polling station on the weekend because a worker felt it violated election rules.
Elections Canada said a worker in Virden, near the Saskatchewan boundary, thought the red in the Canadian flag could be interpreted as support for the Liberal party.

Actually the copy you have has a typo. It is supposed to read
"Only by voting for Cheryl Gallant will you save Canada from Post."

bekayne, can you explain the joke of the picture above (post #122)? I'm not getting it.
The joke is the implied ' tax hike' Trudeau has campaigned for. Either that or it's just Steve openly groping our money he's spent to peddle constant partisan propaganda.
IMHO,the joke is Harper.

It's just Harper's expression, pose-everything about it.
Wow that cover only makes Trudeau look a winner. And the population does prefer unicorns to satanic secret seances in the PMO which is the Conservative vision of the rule of Canada.
I'm laughing though, at the Photoshopped implication that Trudeau is taking a selfie with the Unicorn.

I laugh at that until I realize this can be taken as a swipe at younger people who mostly do not support the Conservatives. When you parse the implication there is the idea that Trudeau is vain -- but also the use of technology of a popularity specific to a generation that does not support the CPC it is disturbing.
I'd have been happier if it were a hand-held mirror...
Just for what it's worth, "selfies" aren't a technology. We've had the necessary technology -- a camera -- for almost exactly 200 years. It's only been for the last four or five of those years that a photograph of one's self doing a mundane thing, or a photograph of one's Starbucks cup, or a photograph of one's hamburger and fries has become a "thing".

That's partially a cost thing. Back when each photo had a cost and couldn't be undone, people were more selective about what to take. Now you can delete and redo with oodles of options (or so I'm told -- I don't have a digital camera).
But yeah, the unicorn photo was pretty funny.
Well, it's ostensibly true that back in the day when a photograph meant buying film, and paying for processing, people were a tad bit more selective about when they would press the shutter button.
But I worked for several years for Black's Photography -- recently deceased, but surely you remember them -- and in my time at the printing deck, I estimate that I printed a little over half a million photos. And while "selfies" weren't a cultural or photographic phenomenon, there was no shortage of crap pictures. "Here's a seventh picture of my car, and here's a shot of a tree, and here's my beer!" -- to whatever degree selfies weren't part of the cultural narrative of the time, it wasn't because a selfie cost more than a picture of a tree, or your beer.

A gt-gt-grandfather of mine was a mason and builder at Newtownards in Ireland. On a prominant corner there he built a pub, installing over the intersection a carved head,... a stone "selfie" from the 1840s!

i agree.
i said in another thread i take the advertising of the Conservatives as subliminally for Trudeau.
his name with a check mark beside is the lasting image not the dumb ass commentary with it.
the focus on his hair is another. do you know how much time us raised in the 80's and 90's spend on our hair making it "nice hair"? make us feel close to him by all means if you wanna lose.
there are so many others and now this. i loved my little pony and so did millions of girls and boys my age and younger.

I agree with you on the advertising. The Conservatives in their lurch to the very creepy have served to make the Liberals appear more reasonable. They have discredited concerns about Trudeau and the Liberals and they have allowed the Liberals to get essentially a free pass as so many people are turned off by the tone of the attacks.
There are lessons here for the NDP -- in the last election this might have happened had the NDP focussed on the Liberals. By ignoring them the NDP avoided making them the underdog they became this time. As well, by leaving the CPC to attack the Liberals Layton was able to concentrate on the reasons people should vote NDP.
This election campaign has been the absolute most negative I have ever seen with none of the parties rising above. I am sorry that the NDP did not do this -- I feel it had the makings of a platform to do so. But it is too late now for anything but the lessons.
I hope that the leadership of the NDP will see fit to inject some more necessary optimism into the NDP message going forward over the next few years. We need that.
The NDP should understand that it is the absolute most invested in a positive impression of the capability of governance to be a positive force. When the NDP forgets this people tilt away from politicians and governments and policy and programs. We are the ones who need some positive vision to be able to hold our own on the political stage.
Layton understood this and he gave as good as he got but he always spread optimism about what we could do. We need more of that message.
Yellow journalism, literally:

WINNIPEG - For the first time in his long life, habitual abstainer Jack Pilman will cast a ballot in a Canadian election, throwing his support behind the Social Credit party.
“Normally I just let the elections go on by, but this time it’s different. There’s an electricity in the air,” said Pilman. “We gotta get rid of that Harper skunk and it’s only [Social Credit party leader] John Horne Blackmore who’s got the stones to do it. And don’t nobody give him guff about being a Mormon! He’ll be judged for that in due time.”
The Social Credit party was founded in 1935 in response to dissatisfaction with the handling of the Great Depression. The party enjoyed some success in the 40s but has had disastrous showings in each of the last few federal elections. Many experts believe this is due to the party dissolving in 1993.
One of the most enjoyable things that i have read on this or any other election. A pitch-perfect obliteration of John Ibbitson and Darryl Bricker, who are two Conservative assholes of the first order.
