And boy did Harper ever breathe deep and blow.
"Old Stock Canadian". Did Harper, an experienced campaigner with incredible self control, let slip a glimpse of his bigoted soul with this slur? Or was it another message to his base?
I believe it is the latter. They are doubling down. looking to energize their racist base and get them out to vote. Despicable ? Yes. Predictable Yes? Can it be defeated? Yes. Progressives need to get out their vote.
I think he was trying a dog whisle but the rot in his soul turned it into a shout. This is probably the phrase that will last for the rest of the campaign.
ReplyDeleteThe media should make Harper where the term as they did with Parizeau's 'pur laine'.
