Anyone who followed the CPC with any regularity at all during last year’s election campaign should find this news utterly unsurprising: the CPC’s war room is woefully terrible.
“Jason Kenney held a news conference in which he complained — incorrectly — that Martin speechwriter Scott Feschuk had insulted ethnic minorities. Feschuk had written a humorous note on the Liberal party website referring to ’socially awkward Omni subscribers.’
“Kenney thought Feschuk was talking about viewers of Omni TV, a multicultural channel based in Toronto. In fact, he was actually referring to now-defunct Omni magazine, a science and technology publication long cherished by nerds.”
So, I mean, that’s bad, right? Like, stupidly, and inexcusably bad? It gets worse. Hours after Paul Wells has made fun of this and it had broken in the media, the CPC sends out a press release from the War Room re-iterating Kenney’s stupid claim and asking if the Liberals are going to stand beside it.
There’s only one explanation: CPC staffers have money riding on the outcome and they’re trying to throw the election.
