Ethnic Voters.

[Topaz]

Again, the Tory Party are targeting the ethnic voters for majority government. At the Manning Conference recently, Kenney said they wan to attract new ethnic voters that share their VALUES?? Two things come to mind, one, why would they NEED the ethnic vote, IF they already have their majority....or do they, well,honestly? Two, why would they let someone in the country that have the same values as them, since they have been charged with contempt of Parliament, cheating in EC, and other things to follow I'm sure. http://www.hilltimes.com/news/news/2012/03/19/tories-deepen-strategy-to-target-new-ethnic-voters-%E2%80%98bread-and-butter%E2%80%99-canadians/30115

Courting the "Ethnic Vote" won them many seats in BC and the GTA.

They have a majority at the movement but in a few years we will all have to vote again and they will want to win a second majority government.

Again, the Tory Party are targeting the ethnic voters for majority government.

Again: So what? It's a common tactic for all parties (as much as I dislike, or, at least, distrust it).

The "Big Tent" party is now the Conservative Party. The Liberals blew it through the Chretien years when they just stood back and took the Ethnic vote for granted:

At first, Mr. Kenney said he often heard comments like, Why are we meeting you? Weve always heard you Conservatives are racist. Or, Youre the first Conservative to show up to this event and weve been doing it for 25 years.

That just shows you the extent to which our adversaries were brilliant at dominating the symbolic politics of immigration and diversity, even though not in substance, Mr. Kenney said.

The panel also discussed blue ocean strategy, the business and political concept of moving into as-yet untapped markets where there is little competition.

Mr. Kenney noted that while 90 per cent of success is just showing up, Conservatives visits to cultural community events were boosted by the fact that Liberals stopped competing.

They stopped showing up, they got arrogant, they took it for granted, and people know when they are being taken for granted, Mr. Kenney said.

Once the Conservatives began connecting with cultural community grassroots, the communities started tuning in to Conservative messaging, said Mr. Kenney.

Delivering on symbolic and emotive issues that mattered allowed us to have people give us at least the benefit of the doubt, and tuning into our frequency and then realizing that their values are aligned with ours, he explained.

Its clear the efforts have paid dividends.

the old white people who consistently vote for them are dying and the ethnic groups are getting larger.

You'd rather they had what the Libs call values (what the rest of us called theft), or the Bloc (what the rest of us called TREASON?) .The NDP , like a leader, don't have any.

What "values" has THIS Conservatives party have? Do you think this party is pure, honest and trustworthy???

"Standing Up for Canada!!!"

(by potentially rigging elections and usurping the democratic process)

"Here For Canada!!!"

(by passing a bill that gives sweeping powers of surveillance on all Canadians by the police under the guise of stopping child pornography!)
