!!Because racism, homophobia and sexism is all the Conservatives have left to offer!

!This post appears on Progressive Bloggers under protest for as long as that site allows The Underminer to actively promote the electoral fortunes of the the Conservative Party on that site!

Now this is how to not bury the lede.  The opening line of the article: Don't read into darker-skinned Trudeau image, Conservatives insist says it all.

The federal Conservative Party says a social media graphic that depicts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a dark-skinned oil worker is the result of a standard filter applied to many of their photos — not racism.

In other words, every attack ad the Conservative Party produces uses a filter designed to make the targets appear to be people of colour.  The only feasible alternative to the current government is openly racist.  The sexism and homophobia (is LGBTQ-ism a better term?) is also on open display.

To recap the last few weeks in Con-land:

• The aren't going to balance the budget as quickly as they originally promised.  Given the strength of the economy, they have nothing to differentiate them from the current government
• They (claim they) are not going to repeal the legalization of pot.  Bye -bye anti-pot vote, no matter how insignificant that might be
• The Con environmental Con plan has been rejected by even the most ardent anti-Trudeau critics.  They have forfeited whatever green vote they were hoping for
• The claims that the Liberals are anti-oil industry aren't backed up by the facts.  The line of BS the Cons are pushing won't help them since they already have the Prairies locked up.
• People that get to know Scheer don't like him. (h/t Montreal Simon).  They aren't going to ride the personal popularity of the leader to victory

All they have left is an appeal to the haters.  As with Albertans who voted UCP, if you vote Conservative you own the racism.
