...Because That Is What Un-electable Weasels Do
(lemmy.world)
CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn't going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who'll take "I'm sure to win the next election!" as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.
in response to all "it's just practical" posts: politics is not about practical (esp. in PP's case) but about optics and gestures. Politician who wants to project integrity and confidence would make it known that they will not be using the place that doesn't belong to them until such time that it becomes OK again. There needs not to be a "move" even, but the gesture of not utilizing residence could go a long way. Alternative is a projection of entitlement and arrogance.
Consider this: if you're working for corporation and reside in corporation-sponsored residence, you'd be expected to vacate the place within rather short timeframe despite the fact that you've supplied your resume to HR for position that just opened. And considering that PP views are very corporate I see disconnect with rhetoric.
This is the point. L'il pp gets to keep his fancier Ottawa address that Canadians fund. Cause it has the patina of fiscal prudence for his troll and troglodite cultists.
But it'd be L'il pp having fits of unthinkable pearl clutching and calling to fetch the fainting couch if any other political loser tried to freeload any amount of time in Stornoway.
And Scheer's lickspittle response is disingenuous at best, more likely calculated to garner him a bigger prize for his fealty and supposed sacrifice.
Hypocrisy and fraud are the only true goals of L'il pp's populist kleptocracy. Not fairness. Not governance. Just what's in it for me.
As for the diversionary whataboutism posted by bot accounts - thanks for showing up and revealing how your shallow your opinions really are. Lib = bad. L'il pp = good. Should vote NDP to split the left.
We get it. Divide and conquer. Just like the gop and the orange baboon's ass did in 'Murica.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Enjoy your retirement funded by Canadians while book-burning in Floriduh!! !
L'il pp making new friends with domestic terrorists.
