SCHMALL WONDER

The Federal Conservatives hold a narrowing lead in the popular vote (34% to the Liberal's 32%) but as 50% of that is concentrated in Alberta, Saskatchewan and rural BC they have an even more rapidly fading chance of forming the next government.
So you'd think now would the time they wouldn't want to make any mis-steps.  Now would be the time to shift from appealing to their narrow base and go big with a push to draw the average Canadian.  Now would be the time to show they appeal to the SUV/Starbucks crowd of the 905.
I guess that's what they thought they were doing with this latest ad campaign.  I suppose they thought they were making Andy look relate-able. 
But in what is just another of the many, many misteps taken by this completely out of touch crew they blew it.   Big time.
And the proof is right here in this undoctored single frame screen capture of their latest video touting the Conservative leader (and the self-proclaimed Next Prime Minister of Canada) Andrew "Dad Bod" Scheer as being "Here for you"
Seriously, this looks like a hostage video shot for an episode of Homeland.
This isn't someone you'd vote for, this is a guy having a crisis who can't figure out how he ended up in this mess.
If this is their "pulling out the stops" push then the entire Conservative Communication team needs to be fired.
Andy's own children could do a better job of making their Dad look Prime Ministerial.
It's Scheer incompetence, Scheer Amateur Hour, Scheer Embarrassment.
It's not Prime Ministerial.
One can hope the Scheer family are looking for a home to move into come October because if this is the best they can do he'll be asked to resign as Leader immediately following the election and then his decade of subsidized taxpayer accommodations and government supplied staff and driver will be a faint memory - and if that happens this shot will look precognitive.
And small wonder based on what they're presenting - this dude simply isn't ready for the job.
