The first time this particular ploy was tried - as far as I know - was during the 1945 General Election campaign in the #uk . #winstonchurchill suggested that #Laɓour would introduce a #gestapo if elected. This backfired spectacularly after the #Laɓour leader #clementattlee responded in an exemplary manner. #Laɓour obtained its first ever majority in the #houseofcommons in that election.
This is the stupidest analogy ever... (and poorly rehearsed. Nice work PP
But Trudeau is definitely done.

A veteran #OttawaCitizen #journalist who was accused of being a #Russian asset by a former cabinet minister says it is the "height of irony" that a committee studying #disinformation has fallen for it.
#DavidPugliese told the #HouseOfCommons security committee today he found it astonishing that none of the MPs on the committee challenged the allegations when they were made last month.
