This event features some of the old Christian Right in Canada (Day and Grassechi), plus the very obnoxious Albert Mohler from the US. One of the speakers will talk on underground believers in North Korea, as if one could compare this with the Canadian context.

Oh please 😒

“After an hour, Ratner mixes things up. Instead of showing Melania being driven around events, we watch her spending 22 hours walking between events. As if anticipating that the audience might be bored by now, shots from this point occasionally use an old-timey camera filter, for no obvious reason.”

Keeping Poilievre as leader just highlights the CPC’s lack of self-awareness. They’re giving voters more reasons not to support them. Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results isn’t exactly the mark of geniuses.
