    While the largest super power in the world is threatening to take over our country Pierre has pivoted from talking about how many genders there are to Carney’s shoes.

    Those don’t look like the same shoes to me. His have a bigger tread and a loop on the heel.

    Put your glasses back on PP!

      That’s not even the point. This is the same "Jagmeet has a watch"bullshit. Being a party leader level career politician means you’re likely in a position of privilege. A single mom with 2 kids isn’t gonna be it. That’s how the system is set up. I’d rather a rich ally than a rich enemy.

      Both have the loop. I think the thread difference might just be because of the shadow on the right pic and the way the sole of the shoe is somewhat rounded.

    Multi-millionaire who acquired his money from being a politician - and never working - whinging about nothing yet again.

    Why is it that rich assholes are still around?

    It’s not even like he bought those on the tax payers dime, the man worked at the top of his field with generational talent, now he’s running for prime minister.

    And since when did conservatives care what rich people spend their money on?

      Dude is a major part of why Canada didn’t get hit hard by the 2008 global financial recession. That’s more than PP going to accomplish in his political career (even if he could do it several times over) He can have his $2k shoes as far as I’m concerned.

      I mean, if he wasn’t a complete hypocrite about it, then he would also get rid of any MPs on his side that wore any expensive clothes or accessories, but he never even mentions that his sides doesn’t do it, because he can’t afford the possibility of bringing attention that way.

    This from the guy who wears oversized cowboy hats and undersized t-shirts to cosplay as “rural”.

    I’m not Canadian so I may miss something important, but for me the problem (and it’s the same in my country) is not that he has 2000$ shoes (if they are the same shoes indeed); it’s that he stages his belonging to the people, and that these shoes show the artificial nature of this staging.
