      1. Conservative Party running ads saying Justin Trudeau will lead to "establishment of neighbourhood brothels."http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/conservative-advertising-chinese-punjabi-1.3268011?cmp=rss …

      2. These ads, which are running only in Mandarin and Punjabi newspapers, also say Liberals also support sale of marijuana to children.

      3. Worth reflecting that these scare mongering ads are aimed at Chinese and South Asian immigrants, not running in English and French.

      4. What's the implicit message of running these ads in Chinese & Punjabi? That immigrants are fools who will buy into these crappy arguments

      5. Last point can't be emphasized enough: the Conservative Party thinks immigrants are fools who will buy arguments "old stock" won't

      @HeerJeet alternative theory: CPC think all their voters are fools, but less afraid of media blow back from lies in secondary ethnic media.

      @SniperHyperbole Right, so they think Punjabi folks are fools en masse but have to micro-target to anglo fools.

          @HeerJeet not necessarily. They think people consuming that media are less likely to record it and put it out on Twitter etc.

          @HeerJeet part of CPC pattern as well is not to make some of their nastier English ads available online as well.
