Election Follies and Funnies #16: some fun now

Ain't we havin' some fun now?

   

 Actually, of course, the increasing violence we are seeing now from the anti-vaxxers and the PPC supporters is not funny at all. 

Two weeks to go.

And I think maybe its becoming clearer why it is important that we hold this election now - Trudeau is right; Canadians need to make a choice about which direction they really want to take, either Forward with the Liberals, or backward with the CPC. 

Today saw more violence from the anti-vaxxers and their allies:

So it’s been reported just now that a white supremecist group is following @JustinTrudeau campaign bus and disseminating the location to a group of regular protestors. Disgusting and unacceptable. #Elxn44 #Election2021

Here's the video of stones being thrown towards the Prime Minister while he was leaving his campaign stop in London, Ontario this evening pic.twitter.com/MNOVHIKMiY

Even when anti-vaxxers were screaming, Trudeau kept his cool:

Trudeau gave the guy a thumbs up, O'Toole will give the guy an semi-automatic assault rifle. https://t.co/nYVupyPe6N

100% correct. Whether you are attacking a member of our Forces, Police, or Government, you are attacking Canadian democracy- putting yourself on the wrong side of the law. We don't throw stones. We throw you into the Canadian legal system. https://t.co/eAiV2WQ2zr

Then venn diagram between Canada Proud, Post Millennial, Jeff Ballingall and these events is a solid circle.

Outrageous commentary from CPC talking head…..Note Ford’s top communications person saying same thing. “He’s asking for it”. What a load of biased bullshit, this is CANADA FFS, our PM has to hide? The events are kept secret too, geezus. #cdnpoli #elxn44 https://t.co/sxSMsvzp99

Another day of coverage on O'Toole's assault rifle flip flop, too:

3 things are true. (1) Cdn gun lobby gave him top grades for his policy positions. (2) Quebec gun lobby helped to secure many votes in his leadership bid. (3) A former gun lobbyist directs his campaign. Question for Canadian voters: Is #ErinOToole a straight shooter? #Elxn44 https://t.co/DXeuLpIX9V

In a joint statement, Canadian Doctors for Protection from Guns, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network & Danforth Families for Safe Communities, said O'Toole's Sunday statement left them "further alarmed."https://t.co/Iw1OHihwVJ

And here's a couple of tweets in honor of Labour Day:

Erin O’Toole pretends to stand up for workers, but when Donald Trump imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, O’Toole called our retaliatory tariffs “dumb.” While O’Toole turned his back on workers, we stood up for them and got Donald Trump to back down. #Elxn44 #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/PAEy8pd8GS

Today's wierdest:

Also, the irony of the pot crusader equating the guy who legalized pot to Mussolini.
