This is outstanding journalism. These people are abhorrent misanthropes who need to be shamed and shunned. The notion that they’d have a direct line to the PMO should Poilievre’s rogues gallery of vindictive stains form government is a nightmare.

Thanks for writing this. I’m down in the Oceanside area. I had no idea this was the same guy who did that POS “Canada is Dying”. My old landlord showed me that if that’s anything to go by…

If I was a believer, I'd saying you're doing God's work.

One of the things I think we need to be doing is explaining to people that every time someone on the right accuses anyone else of doing something bad, we need to make sure everybody knows that it’s actually a confession!

Right wing candidates, making promises about building new homes and making life better for people when in reality they’re being backed by billionaires and real estate developers, who would never build anything for poor people because they couldn’t make huge profits off of that.

These people want to make millions and millions of dollars on every piece of property they sell and these right wing people are just acting as “shills” for the corporate ideology!

Thanks for researching, writing this. Live in the expanded area of the North Island-Powell River riding (Courtenay, where they split our city...). Gunn's far-right views, his 'psuedo-documentaries', and not showing up at candidates' forums/debates hopefully are are all contributing to his defeat. Thank you, again, Craig!

Interesting. The City of Campbell River fully backing him and the city manager just happens to be nicknamed the Real Estate Agent, and people should pay attention to what is happening at the local government level as the BS starts there

Lol I read funding wrong. But the headline makes a bit more sense

I don’t live in BC now, but I did for one year, a few years ago. I can’t believe that people in BC would vote for someone with an anti-indigenous viewpoint. My point is, they may not be aware of this. So you need to spread the word in these communities.

amusing to be elevated to "greasiest dude" - clearly someone grasping for engagement - the treason comment was accepted as provocative humour by all but a few left wing weirdos (and now you) - the abandonment info is misleading at best - but onward - glad you took the time to try to study some of my past - and for the record - I have no legal issues - frankly - never have. oh well. I hope you continue to engage in a thoughtful manner and vote for the person you are confident can help grow Canada out of the hole(s) dug by the Liberal Party for a decade. Onward - again - not fussed - glad you took the time to try to do research on me.

“I didn’t joke. I was serious about hanging” protestors.

I tried to make sense of the illiterate firehose of bullshit you left and it’s only cemented the impression I get from the piece.

What an astoundingly miserable legacy of misanthropy to leave behind.

its ok is your couldn't make sense of the commentary - I wasn't worried about folks who can't make sense of the obvious.

Take an honest look at yourself. Your defensiveness smells like a cow pasture!

Also, the hole you speak of got deeper and so did the pockets of Canada’s Oligarchy. It was created by human beings who have lost their soul - yet claim to be Christians.

The hole dug by Trudeau - is certainly all that you point out - I wasn't aware that Trudeau claimed to be a Christian - but nobody really cares do they?
