So your whole argument is predicated on the hope that the average Canadian doesn't know what Faith did because they don't understand terms like "1488" or "Daily Stormer"? LOL
You really don't give people much credit, do you? How hard do you think it is for the media to just tell their audiences about the neo-nazi nature of that terminology? Or just not get into the terminology at all and just tell them what happened in plain language? Why would the media NOT inform their audience in terms they could understand? This is really dumb line of defense you're attempting here.
"It's no problem because the Canadian public don't know that those things are associated with nazism". - You.
That's extremely naive. Splitting hairs about terminology here is ridiculous. Interested parties made sure the Canadian public knew what happened when they tarred and feathered Faith. That's why the CPC had to distance themselves from The Rebel. For some reason you refuse to put any of the blame for that on Faith, when it was all her doing.

This isn't about "independent political action". This is about Faith Goldy trashing the Rebel Brand by going full 1488. You deny that she hurt the brand because Canadians don't know what that means (LOL) but that's exactly what happened. The Rebel are permanently tarnished by the associations Faith painted them with.
LOL now you're going to turn it around on me? I support the CPC because they're the ones who will boot Trudeau out of office.
Now what does that, or any of your talk about RINOS or the CCP have to do with Faith ruining the Rebel's brand?
Why should I give Canadians any credit? They keep electing stupid people to office, because they only know what the news tells them, they don't do their own research.
I could give a shit about Faith Goldy, but you are definitely making a mountain out of an anthill regarding Charlottesville. I can guarantee that the mainstream news wasn't fair in reporting that event, and you know that's true. But you haven't explained how a so-called pariah like Goldy did so well in a Toronto mayoral election.
Secondly, my question stands - I know you aren't dumb. You know what the CPC is all about. i just find it a bit odd that you think that replacing Trudeau with Erin O'Toole (or anyone in the CPC tbh) is going to even make a dent in federal policy.
Vote Blue, no matter who hey?
Are you still trying to pretend that Canadians aren't capable of understanding the problem with what Faith did? Are you fucking serious? Of course they are.
And the news told them Faith Goldy was rubbing shoulders with white supremacists, which happened to be true. And that reflected poorly on the Rebel, who she was representing when she did all that.
What is so difficult to grasp about this? Why are you arguing?
I am not denying what she did, but I am skeptical of the impact it had. If this was true, she would never been able to run the campaign in Toronto two years later. Why do you keep ignoring that? Why is the Rebel more influential now than it was then?
Are you seriously going to tell me that most Canadians are informed when we currently have 2 terms of PM Blackface?
Really.
BOTH sides in the 2019 election were using allegations of the other team having ties to Faith Goldy as attacks on each other. That speaks for itself.
She got 3.4% of the popular vote, and that's based on her name recognition alone.
