Clueless Liberals Don’t Understand Ford Voters

by Graeme Gordon, posted in Ontario Politics

By Josh Lieblein With her assertion that if students don't get out and vote, older, whiter voters will, Kathleen Wynne shows that she and her Liberals are on the fast track to getting torn apart by the Ford machine. Much like Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" moment, this one is going to hurt the Liberals badly. Not … Continue reading Clueless Liberals Don’t Understand Ford Voters

The Perfectly Reasonable Reason Why Huffington Post Blurred the Woman’s Face in their Hijab Hoax Press Conference Picture

by Graeme Gordon, posted in Ontario Politics, Toronto Politics

As I explained in my last post, Shamiza Baig responded and categorically refutes the rumours on social media claiming, without any evidence, that she was the one to orchestrate the Hijab Hoax and was present at the press conference.

I don't intend to belabour the Hijab Hoax story anymore -- other than to hold the Toronto District School Board to account for its involvement in the rushed press conference -- but I received a belated response from a person of interest dragged into the right-wing conspiracy theories floating online about the Hijab Hoax because … Continue reading Setting a Rumour Straight Regarding the Hijab Hoax

By Josh Lieblein It was damn close. Closer than all the pundits and professional predictors thought it would be. But even if it had been the other way around and Elliott had edged Ford out, the takeaway is the same:  Those who think that they can stave off the populist revolution with the same old centrist … Continue reading The Centre Couldn’t Hold

Trudeau’s Ridiculous Behaviour Is Making It Harder To Take Liberal Smears Seriously

by Graeme Gordon, posted in Canadian Politics

By Josh Lieblein If you've spent any length of time paying attention to Canadian politics, you know the Liberals live and die by the white nationalist smear. It's their one-two punch. So integral is the white nationalist smear to the Liberal re-election strategy that they've basically just let it hang out in the open this … Continue reading Trudeau’s Ridiculous Behaviour Is Making It Harder To Take Liberal Smears Seriously
