Canada's journalists have slightly less clout and therefore look up to him.

That "peoplekind" crack is really one of those classics that makes conservatives melt down reliably over and over and over. They're still mad about it half a year later.

Hey, don't forget he just told someone they were racist for echoing the Quebec government's "When is Ottawa going to pay the costs for all the illegal immigrants?" over the weekend, if I skimmed headlines right this morning.

I'm currently too busy to go looking for French transcriptions or commentary, but that kind of thing can lose Trudeau a ton of maybe/sometimes Liberal voters in addition to firing up the Conservatives' base. Even more in Quebec than the rest of the country.

Even Spokane hates Alberta:

https://globalnews.ca/news/4398753/spokane-fan-wildfire-smoke-canada/

quote:


Spokane residents want to fan wildfire smoke back to Canada. That’s ‘very ridiculous’: expert


A group of Spokane residents think it makes sense to put fans on people’s roofs and blow the wildfire smoke enveloping their city in Canada’s direction.

They would be mistaken, said a person who knows what she’s talking about.

“Blow Spokane’s Smoke Away to Canada” is the name of a Facebook event that’s scheduled to take place on Friday at noon.

Organized by Spokane resident Caleb Moon, the event asks its population of 550,000 people to place at least five box fans on their roofs, turn them to their highest settings and aim them at “northeastern Canada.”

“Team work makes the dream work. Let’s do this, Spokanites,” said the event’s description.

The event may sound like a joke, but Moon said he’s serious about this.

“We figure a small box fan can move smoke about six feet, so if you put 500,000 of them together, you can do the math on that, we can probably get it pretty far into Canada,” he said.

And he admits to feeling a little bad about the idea.

“I love Canadian bacon on my pizza, I love hockey and I am sorry this is the only solution we have,” Moon said.

There’s a flaw in the plan, however — it’s “very ridiculous,” said Sarah Henderson, senior environmental health scientist at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC).

“One sort of floor fan could move a little smoke around, but there’s no way that a large group of fans is going to move as much smoke as there actually is,” she told Global News.

“If he’s got a fan running, on your floor, think of its radius of influence — it’s not very large, maybe 10 feet.

“So all it’s going to do is clear smoke, maybe, out of that 10 feet, but a fan also pulls. It doesn’t just push air, it pulls air through it.”

Regardless, this is gonna make talking politics with all the Conservatives in my social circle more fun as long as they're on the fence between "no don't split the right damnit" and lining up on Bernier's side (which they all will, if this doesn't fizzle out immediately).
