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. 91裸聊视频淐an I shake your hand?91裸聊视频� 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 hopeful91裸聊视频檚 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 crowd91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淚 knew I only had one line to say to him. Do I talk about women91裸聊视频檚 rights? Do I talk about immigration? Do I talk about climate change?91裸聊视频� recalled Courtney Clark, an Ontario native who now works as a teacher in Kelowna. 91裸聊视频淭hen I saw him dressed in blue 91裸聊视频� on Canada Day. Wear a Canada shirt. There was no pin, no hat, he was dressed in blue from head to toe.91裸聊视频�
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. Scheer91裸聊视频檚 fashion statement was not Clark91裸聊视频檚 problem with the candidate, of course. It was more of a tangible representation in which she could articulate her frustration with Scheer91裸聊视频檚 policies on controversial subjects.
91裸聊视频淏lue 91裸聊视频� probably just like your cold heart on women91裸聊视频檚 rights issues,91裸聊视频� said Clark91裸聊视频檚 friend Liam Mitchell, a 33-year-old Kelowna small business owner.

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 voters91裸聊视频� 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 women91裸聊视频檚 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.
91裸聊视频淚t was nice to see him looking for support here and not being scared to show his face,91裸聊视频� Ron Feniak said, in agreement with his company. 91裸聊视频淚 think he could (take the vote).91裸聊视频�

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

91裸聊视频淪mall business owners were being called, 91裸聊视频榯ax cheats,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� said Tracy Gray, Kelowna-Lake Country Conservative MP candidate and small business owner. 91裸聊视频淚t was one of the reasons that prompted me to consider running.91裸聊视频�
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.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 not super strong on Trudeau,91裸聊视频� Mitchell said. 91裸聊视频淚 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.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淥ne of the things I hear is that Trudeau said a lot of things, but he91裸聊视频檚 never really good at delivering,91裸聊视频� Scheer said. 91裸聊视频淎 lot of people tell me that what they realize about Justin Trudeau is that he91裸聊视频檚 never quite as advertised. He makes promises during campaigns, he gets the gestures right but he never follows through.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淭he world needs to change,91裸聊视频� Mitchell said. 91裸聊视频淲e need someone new.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淲e need someone who gives a s91裸聊视频攖 about the people and about the environment,91裸聊视频� Clark said.
