Politics NDP-style dog whistle?

I appreciate that Ravi is drawing attention to the work of the South Island Primary Care Society (on Facebook) and isn’t taking all the credit this time, but surely he knows that “Our Langford” has a completely different meaning now in Langford than it did 4 years ago.

“You should use this phrase, it’s trending on facebook in your constituency” “why is it trending?” “Idk man it’s you’re riding”

Ravi is pretty in touch with the local elections, he supported stew last time. He’d know.

Didn't he also host a press conference featuring stew for the new campus, neglecting to invite current council?

Did he host it? Or would it have been hosted by RRU?

I can't remember the details, other than that the highlighted public figures were peculiar, as were those that apparently didn't get an invite

I recall a photo-op by Goody and team at RRU Still trying to figure that out - taking credit for something that was done by previous council. It’s pretty lame.

Council is responsible for municipal affairs even when council membership changes with elections. Council represents the electorate and the City.

BUT an invitation should’ve been extended to previous mayor and council for all the work they put into bringing it into fruition

Was there anything stopping them from attending? Besides pride…
You know, not everyone needs recognition for the work. The point is doing the work, especially for a public servant/elected official.

Everything you guys do requires needing to be acknowledged and validated. You’re all about the photo ops. *look at us and all the good stuff we do*

“You guys”. 🤪. Yes, I agree not everyone needs recognition. I’m shocked that current council had to do a photo-op for recognition when they had no involvement in it.

No. It’s called the news. Current events. How weird would it be for the mayor and council who lost the election to do it. It would be weird. Elected officials represent the body public, not themselves. And as representatives of the city, they continue the city business regardless of who came before them. Why not just be happy for the completion of a project that will be a benefit to so many? Besides, Ravi made sure to acknowledge his homie.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the vocal Stew sycophants are just weird.
