Conservative Party of Canada Really Put Out This Ad!? - Monday!
Alright, alright, let’s talk about this. Sometimes I mess up, I admit it. Back in December, I said anyone running for Liberal leadership was delusional, that they had no chance. I was wrong. I didn’t see that 40-point poll swing coming. Trump changed the game, not Mark Carney. I own that.
But then I said the most tone-deaf thing the Conservatives could do is release an ad of them golfing. I even joked about it, contrasting it with Carney playing hockey or JuggMe doing jiu-jitsu. I thought, ‘They wouldn’t be that clueless, right?’
Well, guess what? The Conservatives, in what seems like an attempt to bury themselves even deeper, actually released a commercial of them golfing!
How are people supposed to relate to that? I’m surrounded by conservatives, and I know the Conservative base doesn’t always understand that many immigrants would naturally vote conservative because they’re concerned about crime and other issues. But they don’t want to be associated with racism. Cut out the racism, and you gain a massive chunk of voters. Simple as that.
But then you have the Twitter trolls, the anti-immigrant crowd, pushing away potential voters. And then you release a golf ad? Seriously?
As someone who actually plays golf, I can tell you that the average person struggling to make ends meet can’t connect with an ad where someone’s like, ‘Yeah, golf helped me give my kid a down payment on a house.’ Good for you, but most people don’t live like that. Those people already vote conservative anyway. Why are you even trying to pitch to them? This whole thing is just… baffling.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a collapse this bad. This isn’t even comparable to sports. Maybe this is the Liberals’ year. Who knows? Till next time, y’all.
