I understand that political parties have talking points that everyone is supposed to stick to especially around election time, but this is a little much.
The video, posted by PressProgress, combined speeches uploaded on YouTube this week by 13 MPs, including GTA MPs Mike Wallance, Wladyslaw Lizon, and John Carmichael.
The video includes clips of robots and a news clip of Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre repeating the mantra, “The prime minister has now balanced the budget.”
The MPs’ videos, about 40 seconds long, all end the same way:
“I’m proud to represent you in supporting a government that remains focused on the priorities of Canadians.”
I’m sure that’s totally a coincidence, though. I’ve never known the folks in the PMO to be the overly controlling sort. This just shows how united the party is. Yeah, that’s it. Here’s a link to the story I found the video in, since I couldn’t think of a creative way to slip it in anywhere else.
The Borg reference made me laugh…and sent chills up and down my spine for a couple of reasons,1 because Borg and 2 because of the whole niqab thing…brings a whole new meaning to “You will be assimilated.” doesn’t it?
Niqab? The word you’re looking for is mask. I learned this when I got sucked into an election argument at Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.
I knew you’d laugh at the Borg thing as soon as I heard it.
Did all those people talking at once creep you the hell out? I got me a little bit and I know how your imagery works so pictured you running out of the office as fast as your little legs could carry you, hahaha.
Oy! Did a certain great uncle who likes to ask you how the internet is also tell you the whole mask thing?
Actually the Borg reference helped all the simultaneous talking not be as creepy, because that all talking at once thing is kind of how the Borg sound lol.
Lol. Nope. Not him. Very close relation of his though.
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the Borg, which is strange. Not as strange as it would be if I actually watched the show, but considering all the people I’ve known in my life who do, it’s weird.
Here. Let me fix that.
Alright. that makes total sense now.
