Oh, Shiny Pony!

Because that twenty grand has already bought awesome stuff like, “We have to realize that the way of thinking that got us to this place no longer holds. We have to rethink elements as basic as space and time, to go all science fictiony on you in this sense”. Like, I just don't know how to..., like WOW!

Hear why you're not welcome if you think some areas of current abortion orthodoxy are a bit shady!!!!

Canada’s secret war in Iraq
By Richard Sanders

I cannot tell how furious I am at the LPC for blatantly lying to ALL Canadians of their participation in the war in Iraq. How stupid we look criticizing USA, when we were just as much involved and participated heavily.
The corrupt msm kept this information from canadians just to protect the liberal Jean Chretien and his secrets involving Canada in the war in Iraq.

Yeah like WOW man!
Children are our leaders?
Such platitudes wrapped in arrogance and "white Quebec privelage" presented by a non-achieving zoolander posing as a leader.

Let me demonstrate why it's a good idea to legalize marijuana.

I would only go if they gave me a free ticket and I could bring a bushel of over-ripe tomatoes!

Holy smokes, there's a lot of good election ad material there. The Ted Hsu graphic alone, if it was accompanied by a straightforward, low-key, toned-down - i.e. not exaggerated or overly dramatic - voiceover reading the text, would be a very effective targeted ad for the Kingston riding.

Canada's founding leadership would be rolling in thier graves if they could see the freak show that thier great country has become.

What would they have done diffently had they known back then?

Turned around and sailed home? Given it to France? Hung and quartered the ancestors of any and all modern Liberals they could find?

They missed Turdaues ancestors to be sure.

We have reams of material provided by Justin and his cabal of like minded know-nothings that have nothing to do with the media and their bogus copyright "ownership". Ezra has done his digging, got emails marked "confidential" which could and should land the self described "consortium" including CBC, CTV, Global and City TV who all signed on in their desperate attempt to protect their Boy Justin. It's really and admission they know he's not up to the job but they hate Harper so much they're willing to put the country in possible danger at a time when we need a brain at the helm.
With the likes of Ted Hsu looking for goodness in murderous ISIS thugs and Justin looking for just causes we'd be screwed.

The biggest hurdle for the Liberals is they cannot hide their leader, stop him from making public appearances and putting both feet in his mouth. They haven't got enough polish to maintain the shine, when he speaks the shine fades fast.

Amazingly Jean Chretien compares the present military action to his decision to not join the invasion of Iraq in 2003:

As for the comments that the 03 invasion caused the present situation.

- removing US military forces this year "caused" the present situation
- failing to dispatch AQ/OBL, which led to 9/11, "caused" the invasion of Afghanistan
- Saudi Arabia letting foreign troops into their country in 1990 during the first Gul War "caused" the rise of AQ
- preventing China and Russia from taking over the entire Korean "caused" the free and prosperous formation of South Korea
- taking on Germany and Japan "caused" freedom and prosperity for all of us

IOW who cares about "causes?" Chretien says we should have beefed up our humanitarian aid - the usual weasel words of the appeaser. Of course everybody knows nobody steals aid, attacks workers and certainly nobody needs to be defended. Not.

Of course, as noted above, we were quite involved in the 03 Iraq war. Of course, Mr Chretien opted for more humanitarian aid instead of combat troops in Afghanistan, right?

Wrong. Anyway Chretien still has this habit of saying BS and expecting us to accept it. We don't accept it, Chretien is irrelevant and so is the current leader of the third party.

First, please understand that I'm as partisan as they come but I find the TrudeauSteam webpage slightly embarrassing given that it's driven by the main party. Had it been some blogger, then all the better.

Yeah the liberal establishment...they roll out chretien to prop up the dimwit trudeau.

The liberanos should be reminded of adscam at every turn. That is chretiens legacy. He was widely considered a fool on the world stage and jr will be as well.

The drama teacher who idolizes the community organizer is adored by the low information crowd.

Let's get out there with some good old fashioned attack ads using his own words and move on already!

Looking at those kinda mini trial-balloon ads gave me a "Eureka!" moment about how the Conservatives should approach their ad campaign in the run-up to the next election.

The ironic thing about Trudeau, and what makes him more of a Teflon man than we fellow conservatives think, is that -- with the possible exception of the "whip it out" comment, which was clearly pre-scripted, re-rehearsed in his mind as what he thought was a 'clever zinger', and then poorly delivered -- a lot of his inane blunders seem just that much less damning/damaging when you actually see him uttering them; you don't completely parse the words because the "star" aura built up around him leads viewers to watch as much as listen or think; the watching distracts you from the words. In the same way that, I don't know, James Spader's utterances can sound semi-profound when he's on a talk show but read like a semi-empty nothingness in transcript form, Trudeau elicits that "Oh, look, it's Justin!" reaction.

I don't want to overstate the case, I'm just saying he elicits that tendency. I think there's a way around that - and you're going to have to bear with me here: In a few of his films, the great Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini - a gay Catholic communist, but a great filmmaker - combined the two main Italian neorealist conventions of not using location sound (i.e. all dialogue is overdubbed later), and using non-actors in many roles. By taking these two conventions and riding them waaay out of bounds he created an entirely new film language that was gut-crunchingly effective (in a couple of his films) to the point of being almost overwhelming to watch at times, and almost too funny in a very subversive way.

In his loose interpretation of The Canterbury Tales, for example, more than a few of the minor characters were played by real-life street people (there were actual knife fights on the set, off camera) who had been selected exclusively for their, umm, highly unusual faces, to put it politely; their faces were the character, and did the communicating. Their implacable gazes - especially the over-thirties, who looked like over-fifties - had been set in stone by years of fear and/or suspicion and or defeat; the startling baselisks carved into their facial muscles over their real-life lives could never be replicated by a real actor. On-screen they variously appeared befuddled/bemused, or embarrassed, or afraid, or to be thinking that they were simply showing up at a sent-from-heaven craft-tent buffet party. They had in every case zero idea about what the film was about, and it showed on their faces. It's evident that sometimes they were unaware that the camera was on; they seemed to think that they were just joking around between takes with the calculatedly clownish/devilish Passolini who was privately playing them like a violin.

Location sound wasn't used for any of these scenes, but these non-actors would speak - and therefore mouth - the words in the script as best they could while they were being filmed. Later, during post-production, an astute, almost equally unglued but much, much smarter voiceover artist in a sound studio would listen to the location sound while carefully studying what the faces were saying and would then, with an eye to subversion, dub in - almost vandalistically - a completely new voice that amplified - or warped, or inverted - their facial characteristics in accordance with the deconstruction/reconstruction of the script, which then became imbued with a new, and more portentous, or more ridiculously inane, or hilarious, meaning.

Point is, these shiny new non-actors were fodder for a good cause. If I were in the Conservative braintrust, I would consider not using any footage of Justin Trudeau in some of the Trudeau-focused attack ads, and instead using a deft and incongruous voiceover to creatively craft just the right reading of Justin Trudeau's own words - meaning, just the wrong reading, subtly - accompanied in different ads by just the right photo, like perhaps this one.

If the Conservative ad team were willing to think outside the box, and to track a thousand different voices - to experiment - and then watch the results until they hit the one that creates discordance and a disconnect between the words and the photo to the point where it's laugh-out-loud funny to them, I think it would translate to the public as well, and could be more effective than ads of Trudeau speaking the words himself. It would allow/force viewers to hear Justin's deep thoughts in a literal, verbatim sense, in a way that seems removed from the usual context of political advertising wherein the voices are so often slightly off-putting because they sound so professional/sales-y -- a bit like those "please hold, your call is important to us" voices that sound almost insinuatingly condescending even as they're ostensibly being so very extra-double sincere.

Having a comedically, ever so slightly "wrong" and utterly friendly voice reading Justin's words verbatim in a "Deep Thoughts"-style ad would have the twin benefits of 1) completely obviating any possibility of the big-consortium/conspirators networks refusing to air the ads, because there's no footage (plus they wouldn't even be "attack ads", in a sense, because no negative editorializing whatsoever would be necessary) and, 2) most importantly, getting Canadians to laugh during a political ad.

Getting people to laugh - especially if it's despite themselves - would be groundbreaking for a Canadian political ad, and it could be effective in this case, because once people laugh at someone, especially in any collective sense, the object of their jollity tends to remain comedic thereafter.

That would be damaging to the MSM's cardboard-cutout Trudeau brand. If the Conservative ad team can get people actually laughing at Justin Trudeau's "Deep Thoughts" while they're watching TV, or around the water cooler or kitchen table, his real-world utterances thereafter would take on a different…hue.

I think that's the best way to brand the pony, as just one part of the arsenal, in the context of an add campaign: keeping it light by using cleverly (subversively, edgily, unexpectedly) voiced re-readings of Justin Trudeau's own vocalized thoughts.

The guy is totally ripe. He hasn't been plucked yet, but I think he is a comedic figure who deserves a larger and more appreciative audience.

As of right now, I don't think people realize just how funny he is, but he's got a huge amount of potential.

why am I thinking of Del Griffith?...never mind.

I noticed he chopped his mane to look a little more serious. I still can't stop laughing when I see his face though.

Justin Trudeau -proof that its not possible to polish a turd.

A man whose wife refused to take his last name, and who was in the Calgary Pride parade, who has these strange little hands which he keeps wringing - endorses Justine?

Didn't you know that JT has "never taken one SINGLE penny for speaking".
