We never see any politician come through our small town. Pierre came to our hometown of 400 people. Had coffee in the restaurant. Stopped in the village office and visited a few businesses. I know he likely won't be back. That's completely normal for our area.
To say we are pathetic or a bunch of backwater hicks isn't fair to rural people. There are lots of vey kind, hardworking average people out here. Many I'm sure you'd be proud to call a neighbor or friend if you got to know them.

The thing is, as leader, Mark Carney is doing things that are now in the best interest of rural voters that support traditional industries, keeping Canada whole, and enabling minorities and vulnerable populations to find an equal and inclusive footing. Poilievre and this current iteration of CPC is more akin to the destructive s### show we have already released on ourselves with the UCP.
Your priorities are similar or the same to most Canadians.
Voting for him because he had a cup of coffee in your town once and waves a blue flag isn't exactly going to get you invited to any Mensa meetings.
