I'm more concerned that he simply has no connections or memory of shared events with Canadians. You can't truely think or feel like a Canadian from reading a newspaper or vacationing in Algonquin park every 5 years or so. A hell of a lot went on in the last 35 years and much of that makes us who we are now.
BULLSHIT! I lived in the US for 3 years and I lived in Singapore for a year and I NEVER felt "unconnected". I spoke with family and friends daily. Modern telecommunications have made the world a small place, dude. Boston is an hour from Toronto. Hell, you can drive it in a day.
People in lots of places IN Canada are more out-of-touch with Canada than Canadians living abroad. In that group would be the people that think the "Just Visiting" campaign is meaningful.
You're working from a false premise.
"Just visiting" is sticking Lemmy. And there is so much more ammo for the attack ads.
All these years the Libs have spent telling us how bad any connections with the US are will hurt them. Iggy is more yank inclined than Harper ever was.
Iggy will lose, and it will be Caesar in the Senate, and the knives will be out.
You’re not telling me that the rampant anti-Americanism that has been part of the Liberal brand for decades has disappeared because Iggy has arrived?
It's there, bubbling under the surface, festering away and it's gonna come out.
The Libs just can’t help it. Hating the US is a core Liberal value, always has been.
