Ignoring how wrong he is on that point…

Why is he even bringing it up? Like, ok, what if the Nazis were socialists? What does that have to do with him, and his position, right now? How is this in any way relevant to Canada, federally, today?

Like, it’s really weird that he’s talking about this. We should be highlighting out weird it is.

Could be part of a new propaganda campaign: muddy the water about the left, so that any leftist law can be called evil and reverted.

“Social help? That’s socialism, and socialists are nazis. Let’s repel that law like any good common sense man would do.” ~Poil lievre (maybe)

Could be. The CPC’s campaign strategy may judt br calling Trudeau a communist for 5 weeks or something. Or he could be setting up his forever excuse for why his government will only help corporations and the wealthy.

But it’s still weird. No one needs to give a shit about the NSDAP in Canada in 2024. It’s a really uncomfortable and lame obsession, and people don’t spend enough time pointing that out.
