The “nice” man was going door to door canvassing as he will be running in the next local election in the Fall (extremely early).

I had met him before.  A semi-retired University Prof.    Never had a meaningful discussion with him about any topic previously.

Fair game that I ask his position on certain topics.

After the first question it became quite apparent that I should stop  while I was ahead.  He was a Branchie.

The first question concerned the Covid response in our village.   His response was, “safe and effective” shots and we need to protect everyone.  He’s up to date and felt everyone should be as well.

Just to get to the point.  Here’s his shortened responses to questions:

-Trucker’s Freedom Convoy —–Evil people causing noise in Ottawa. They don’t have the support of Canadians.

-Dutch Farmer’s rebellion——-Never heard of it

-the Russian SMO—–the Legacy media position

-your thoughts on Biden——-great leader! (he’s an expat US citizen)

-Covid truthers——-uninformed people that should be punished for not doing the right thing.  No bodily autonomy.

-the Global Digital ID with CBDC (a social credit system)—–it will never happen here or anywhere else (he had no idea about China’s experience

-the demise of the USD as the reserve currency—–will never happen

-WEF and Trudeau and Freeland’s relationship——never heard about it.  Great people!

-the gender issue——about time (pronouns, etc) giving kids a choice

I responded to all of his answers.  Apparently I am “misinformed” according to him.  He is typical of who is running in our local municipal elections. Has no curiosity and is a follower. Does not like to be challenged or have a debate.

I broke my cardinal rule of avoiding a discussion with a Branchie.

 

On another note, we received a letter in the mail from the local supporters of Jean Charest for Conservative leader.  It was signed by about 10 well known local persons. For all I know they could be liberals.    Even our Conservative MP had his name attached.  I will be voting for the Conservative Party not for him specifically.

On the outside of the envelope it was written in bold letters, “I’m on the side of law-abiding Canadians.  Pierre Poilievre is on the side of lawbreakers and illegal blockaders!!”  Did anyone else receive the same in their area?

He’s out of touch with the grass root Conservative voters at least in our area and the Praires.  He’s on Team Turdo.

Charest is a long shot to win the leadership but if he does, Canada will be lost.
