Episode 14: Our MP's Derangement + Bots Is Not Peterborough, or Canada

This will be a short column because really, what more is there to say about Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri, beyond her hatred of all things Liberal, woke, Trudeau, Carney? We just have to live through her increasingly desperate attempts at keeping attention on herself and the Conservative Party amidst Poilievre's spectacular fall in the polls, a 30 point lead gone in just a month.   EKOS Research has another set of polling numbers being made public in a few hours, the gist of which he hinted at last night: Well, Michelle is not having it and launched into a 6 minute car rant video a few days ago, which starts off like this: Struggling for relevance in a Party swamped by sinking numbers, screeching messaging that's no longer resonating with the public, she's been given no discernable role at this period in time.

Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri's Electoral District Association, the Peterborough-Kawartha Conservatives (@pktories) held their AGM on Saturday, Feb 1, 2024 at the Lakefield Legion Branch 77. Guest speaker was Durham Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, the candidate parachuted in to vie for former Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole's vacated seat.
