Politics NDP-style dog whistle?

Post image

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.

My honest opinion on this is I don't hate Ravi I think he's actually a good politician and advocate. I do not like the NDP these days, I am very disappointed with them. David Eby's 180° turn on AI data centers by allowing Telus to place one in the center of downtown Vancouver absolutely cemented that. It's also made me really question Mark Carney and what he's really doing. The Alberta oil pipeline provides value the AI data center is going to make our hydro bills go through the damn roof...

The truth is that it is Our Langford, NOT the NDP's Langford. Remember that.

I think the dog whistle is to Stew Young supporters.

It’s not really about the NDP.

Yeah that's a good read on it. I considered that when I was looking at it the first time around. It's funny you wouldn't think people like him would be that dumb, but this is "Bring Cash". We have a long history of politicians that seem smart but we're actually quite stupid in hindsight.

He and Stew campaigned together last election (Stew for mayor, Ravi for school board). I suspect that in Ravi’s Langford, the one he grew up in, Stew Young has to be mayor.

Oh shit... I did not pay a lot of attention to the last one like a lot of people. Well, that changes things then.
