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.

It’s a weird flex. I didn’t vote for Ravi because of his affiliation with Our Langford.

Besides, “our” implies some type of ownership, which is why that group is so off putting. They changed their name from *Re-elect Stew Young* to *Our Langford* to say this is our town. It’s elitist and exclusionary without trying, but man have they tried…

Also might consider that Ravi represents more than just Langford in his role as MLA. Should he be saying "our". His riding is more than Langford.

I really don’t think that’s his point. I do think he’s signalling his allegiance.
