It is 100% based on intuition.

I wasn't not looking to convince anyone to think a certain way, I just posted my opinion. I will mention; however, that I am very rarely wrong when it comes to my ability to get a read on people. I am always usually open to be proven wrong, but I just rarely ever am.

That right there is comedy gold.

If someone from outside this country was to visit, and see the link I posted prior, and then was asked "Do you think he made a mistake? Or do you think he prefers one part of the country over the other?" 1000 out of 1000 I'm sure would say the latter. And guess where he got it from?

Thinking Trudeau's look down their nose at the west, or at least Alberta is a tried, true and repeated, demonstrated fact. It's not a mistake.

I don't lean too hard left or right, probably left on social issues and right on economic ones, but one thing I don't like is I find time and time again, that people on the left tend (not all, but tend) to be less burdened with facts, they like what is nice, charismatic and makes them feel good. They pick a favorite and stop thinking. So when inconvenient things like a party leader s&!&'s on another part of the country, people on the left want to look the other way, and call it a mistake.

Where in the developed world has a country leader put in a plan that by its very design shifts significant wealth from one region to another, and then his kid with no real experience in anything useful, with very obvious regional bias's to match his Dad's get elected a party leader?

No, I don't think he dislikes Albertans. I think he dislikes Harper and a lot of Cons who just happen to be from Alberta. Don't forget Harper's "firewall" letter.

And this is EXACTLY why I think the ads that the Conservatives are running are dumb. We all evolve with age and that also includes stances we take on political issues. So when you take quotes from over a decade ago, they are no longer relevant.

Plus, those with political aspirations soon realize that it is a different ball game when you are on the outside looking in compared to the inside trying to stay in. Campaigns are run totally differently if you are in opposition compared to if you are elected and governing the country.

All parties should take heed that the literature, photographs, film, whatever they use from the past might no longer be relevant, might not have been taken in the right context, and might backfire.

This. He apologized because what he said was people from Alberta when he meant Harper. It was in 2010, people grow and move forward.
On the other hand, just a few days ago,

Just hours after the PM advised against "committing sociology' by considering the root causes of terrorism, Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre's came up with an even more bumpersticker-ready position, telling his co-panelists on tonight's edition of Power and Politics that 'the root cause of terrorism is terrorists.'

Any thinking person would recognize that to prevent you need to investigate the causes.

When I heard that answer, I thought what is this a cult.
