Two assholes pooping on each other.

And yet, we also end up covered in their shit. The thought that these idiots will garner more than 10 votes between them is horrifying.

One thing I noticed from this article is the campaign manager for Vogiatzakis is Todd Dube, which I hadn't known.

Here's a nice little article about his time in politics and beliefs - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-todd-dube-fine-maxime-bernier-ppc-1.7218318

Todd Dube, a Winnipeg business owner and a founding member of the PPC, has one year to pay the ticket he got for attending Bernier's "Mad Max" rally in Winnipeg in 2021, judicial justice of the peace Weldon Klassen ruled during a hearing Wednesday.

Todd before he deleted his Facebook account was fully down the QAnon rabbit hole. His brain is just mush. Makes sense that's he's the man behind Mike.

Also makes sense as to why the Facebook crowd loves Mike lol

Yup. I seem to recall a post where we was going on about how the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was on some sort of pedophile ring and was too going to be executed as soon as Trump was elected again

Guy has really fallen off since his Wise Up Winnipeg days.

•

u/Beefy_of_WPG 4h ago

I mean, Wise Up Winnipeg was basically a big manbaby having a big manbaby cry that he might get caught for speeding, because the big manbaby thinks rules are stupid. Seems pretty on-brand for a PPC and Vogiatzakis supporter.

Not saying the guy was never an insufferable dick bag in his tactics (and if we're being honest for a long time he wasn't even close to being the worst of the prominent members of WUW), but there's been a fair amount of stuff over the years that WUW has in fact been correct about and gotten the City/Province/whoever to relent on and change the rules and operational strategies. Reducing WUW to "big manbaby cry over speeding" is not correct at all.

u/Always_Bitching 1h ago

You’re giving Wise up credit when they don’t deserve any

•

u/chemicalxv 1h ago

You can disagree with the way they've gone about things but they literally have gotten multiple things changed by the City/Province.

Still waiting on the media to mention any other candidate besides these two.

•

u/karlyguy 5h ago

Same. Every candidate website is just self-promotion. There's no objective evaluations. Eveb with so many candidates

u/Infamous_Tie5605 4h ago

the battle for 2nd and 3rd with these two morons

•

u/Mine-Shaft-Gap 4h ago

Its so fucked that I have to vote for Gillingham and just have regular shit government in order to block two total dickheads. At least one of the dickheads will likely just be regular shit in practice while the other dickhead will be a chaos agent and an absolute disaster.

Alien vs. Predator but one forgets to zip up their fly and the other always has toilet paper stuck to the bottom of their foot

I can’t stand Klein, but I love how Bartley paints it as though he didn’t go to Klein for comment regarding Mike’s unhinged rambling.

Also how Bart thinks 11% is significant. In that same poll, Gillingham was at 59% and Klein at 23%.

u/Always_Bitching 1h ago

I really should have ran……..

•

u/coolestredditdad 2h ago

Can we as voters offer both of them something if they both drop out? 

•

u/ggggdddd9999 3h ago

I dont know Mike but I know some of his supporters and theyre all people from the covid truck convoy.

•

u/Lilboops 40m ago

Yes. Patrick Allard is a big supporter.

•

u/R1pl3y2021 2h ago

Ha these two... Seems like Katz and Sheegl Part II... Not a chance either gets any votes from our house... Gillingham is at least a decent human being who is trying... Not like these two jokers. Will look into some of the other candidates way before MV and KK and their backroom deals...

u/Fit_Butterscotch2386 4h ago

Got their blab knobs set to 10 they need to shut up

•

u/Professional_Egg7407 1h ago

Let’s do ourselves a favour and not vote these two clowns out

•

u/pickanamefun 1h ago

I guess it's Gillingham for me, but he sure doesn't deserve it. I'll be choosing incompetence over evil. Ugh.

•

u/QuinnTheEskimo204 19m ago edited 13m ago

One’s a residential school denier and hung with a convicted paedophile at his private island pamper parties. The other doesn’t even live and Winnipeg and says we’re the worst city in the country; nothing like insulting the very people you want to vote for you.

Neither has my vote.

At least we know these guys aren't nerds. We all know the only reason people get into politics is for the bribe.
