There was a man who walked up to Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer on Monday, July 1, on the boardwalk that lines the perimeter of Okanagan Lake at Waterfront Park. 香蕉视频直播淐an I shake your hand?香蕉视频直播� the man asked. Scheer replied with a grin and an extended arm, inviting the man in for a firm, political handshake and shared a moment with the presumable Scheer supporter.
Up until this point in the prime minister hopeful香蕉视频直播檚 visit to Kelowna, there was little resistance from opposing political views as the candidate roamed through the Canada Day celebration with a flock of blue-shirted Tracy Gray campaign members and pedestrian supporters.
The crowd香蕉视频直播檚 embrace of Scheer was interrupted, if only momentarily, by a blonde-haired 30-something woman on a bike, accompanied by a tall, six-foot-something man donning multi-coloured sport glasses and a red baseball cap.

香蕉视频直播淚 knew I only had one line to say to him. Do I talk about women香蕉视频直播檚 rights? Do I talk about immigration? Do I talk about climate change?香蕉视频直播� recalled Courtney Clark, an Ontario native who now works as a teacher in Kelowna. 香蕉视频直播淭hen I saw him dressed in blue 香蕉视频直播� on Canada Day. Wear a Canada shirt. There was no pin, no hat, he was dressed in blue from head to toe.香蕉视频直播�
Scheer responded with a joke about the prominence of the colour blue in his closet and the justness of handing out Canada Day flags in lieu. Scheer香蕉视频直播檚 fashion statement was not Clark香蕉视频直播檚 problem with the candidate, of course. It was more of a tangible representation in which she could articulate her frustration with Scheer香蕉视频直播檚 policies on controversial subjects.

The fact that Scheer did not engage suggested that may have been a little too far; instead, a blue-shirt came over to politely discuss the two voters香蕉视频直播� complaints with Scheer. The blue-shirt was accommodating: she would take the feedback to her party to discuss ways to better their policies. It was a practical way in which the party said they would listen to the residents of Kelowna.
Religious values is something that often comes up when it comes to Andrew Scheer. Moreover, the effect that might have on legislature if elected. Staunch and respite, Scheer has commonly been documented as evasive when it comes to questions surrounding women香蕉视频直播檚 rights, abortion laws and LGBTQ2+. This of course, is more of a concern to some than for others.
As the crowd moved onward toward the Sails, a few Alberta natives who are relocating to Kelowna sat on a rock ledge opposite the waterfront railing.

Carbon tax and small business protection were two subject points most conservative supporters were in favour of.

香蕉视频直播淪mall business owners were being called, 香蕉视频直播榯ax cheats,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 said Tracy Gray, Kelowna-Lake Country Conservative MP candidate and small business owner. 香蕉视频直播淚t was one of the reasons that prompted me to consider running.香蕉视频直播�
But for the two any-colour-but-blue standouts on the boardwalk on that Monday evening before the Canada Day fireworks, small businesses were not on the agenda and neither was autonomy for carbon-consumers. By no means was this a product of pro-liberal motives, according to the friends.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 not super strong on Trudeau,香蕉视频直播� Mitchell said. 香蕉视频直播淚 feel like he had a great opportunity to do something with the youth vote here in this country. And just like any typical liberal government they blew it all up.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淥ne of the things I hear is that Trudeau said a lot of things, but he香蕉视频直播檚 never really good at delivering,香蕉视频直播� Scheer said. 香蕉视频直播淎 lot of people tell me that what they realize about Justin Trudeau is that he香蕉视频直播檚 never quite as advertised. He makes promises during campaigns, he gets the gestures right but he never follows through.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淭he world needs to change,香蕉视频直播� Mitchell said. 香蕉视频直播淲e need someone new.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淲e need someone who gives a s香蕉视频直播攖 about the people and about the environment,香蕉视频直播� Clark said.
