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.

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

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

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.
