Pandering to Ukrainians part of Harper's strategy. ⇒

   13 April 2007, mid-morning

Michael points out that the Tories suck when it comes to ethnic pandering; they are trying to solicit votes from a Ukrainian bloc that apparently isn't much of a bloc. I still recall the last election when they tried to appeal to the social conservative values of various immigrant communities -- the "we hate gay people too" strategy. It's actually kind of sad that the socially conservative Tories can't get more ethnic votes. I think people would vote for the Tories if they didn't give off a creepy "Party for Rich White people" vibe. I mean, the Liberals can do it, why can't they. The Tories must have the worse PR people.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
