Couple of observations on this #Elxn45 story:

* #PiPiLeQ ran a couple of new ads last night during “Jeopardy!”, borrowing heavily from the #DoFo playbook — an attack ad on Mark Carney after the first round, and a pro-#Conservative ad before the final round. Both ads ended with Sonny-and-Cher stills.

* My work these days entails dealing with people who claim to get their news from frakkin’ Instagram, so the focus is still on an algorithmic alternate reality.

CBCANALYSIS | Conservatives are limiting media access to Poilievre. Is it helping or hurting him? | CBC NewsConservatives have placed strict controls on media access to Pierre Poilievre during this campaign. But some political analysts question whether this strategy, that may have been helpful when Justin Trudeau was his expected political opponent, still provides Poilievre with a political advantage.

“This didn’t just pop up this year in response to Trump and the tariffs. There is a fairly profound divide within the #Conservative movement.. …When things are going well, you don’t have people like [Jason] Kenney and [James] Moore coming out. So if this is about the fracturing starting to come, I feel bad for [#PiPiLeQ]; I don’t think there’s a way to stop it.”

— Lisa Young, a political science professor at the University of Calgary

CBCFissure among Conservatives undermining Poilievre's pitch he's a national unifier: experts | CBC NewsLong-simmering tensions within the Conservative movement are bursting out into the federal election, experts say — undercutting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s efforts to present himself as a unifier who can take on U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Seen near the entrance [to a #PiPiLeQ rally in Surrey, BC on 27 March] is a table of confiscated items that were being held for people to collect on their way out of the rally. There were a number of knives, e-cigarettes, Canadian MAGA hats, one red ‘Make America Great Again’ cap and two signs. One that said ‘Klaus Schwab W.E.F. Carney’.”

Nice to be known by the company you keep, innit?

@annecavicchi Yes TV in #Toronto simulcasts the NBC Buffalo feed of “Jeopardy!” with Canadian commercials. They ran #PiPiLeQ’s newest commercial twice in that span. The spot was thirty seconds of mad libs sloganeering ducktalk — what Manny Davis would rightly have called a “null program”. Semantically, it was half a minute of Canada-adjacent spaghetti thrown against a wall by a Funzo focus group. #Elxn45 #SawAnAd #MyBrainHurts
