Haircut'Boy for PM [his love of China's dictatorship]....The new “hot button” issue for Conservative fund-raising: Justin Trudeau

The new “hot button” issue for 

Conservative fund-raising:

Justin Trudeau

The federal Conservatives raised millions of dollars from their supporters over the years by finding and pressing key “hot button” issues like the gun registry. A good “hot button” issue gets a donor riled up and ready to write a cheque so his or her side will deal with that that “hot button” issue.

Well, with the gun registry retired, the Conservatives have settled on a new hot button issue — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. Trudeau is the key “issue” in a series of fundraising e-mails flying out of Conservative Party HQ in the last couple of weeks during the party’s “Seize the Moment” fundraising campaign. Consider this latest one that comes from Heritage Minister Shelly Glover:

Friend,

Our economy is the strongest in the G7. We’re creating jobs and lowering taxes. Canada is in better shape than ever before.

We can’t stop now.

We have to Seize the Moment – and that’s why we’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal of $2 million by the end of year.

Justin Trudeau would take our economy off track. He’s voted against almost every measure we’ve put forward – and his own plan to legalize marijuana would put our communities at risk.

Worse, he’s in way over his head – he’s constantly saying things like this:

“There’s a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around…” – Justin Trudeau, November 7, 2013

I guess somebody forgot to tell Justin that we don’t like dictatorships.

The Liberal fundraising machine is now in overdrive. They’re doing their best to raise more money than us – you and I just can’t let that happen.

Chip in $25 today – just $6.25 after your tax credits – and help us reach our goal.

Canada is the true north, strong and free – it’s time to Seize the Moment.

Sincerely,

Shelly Glover
MP, Saint Boniface
