Scheer: Poster decrying 'left wing' professors just meant to be funny

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. -- The federal Conservatives say a university campus recruitment flyer bemoaning "left-wing" professors is just meant to be a funny way to grab the attention of right-leaning students.

"It's a way to get people engaged on campus and it's meant to be a launching pad for discussions and debate and hearing other points of view," he said.He said when he was at school he remembers campus Conservative clubs running club recruitment drives saying people should join up to "annoy your professor."

Michael Conlon, executive director of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations, called the flyer "absurd" and said professors are professionals with diverse political views who do not impose those viewpoints on their students. Some political watchers say Ontario voters' growing dislike of Ford's policies is dragging down Scheer's numbers in the province with the most seats.

CP have gone full mAgA in their tactics. 'Jokes' for the impressionable minds. CP have gone way down hill in the reliability factor of being upfront and forthright.

Could be hurt feelings over this!

In other news the media union continues to desperately try and get the liberal party re-elected with their propaganda

How is it a joke when it sounds exactly like something you'd hear from Doug Ford? It was obviously a genuine sentiment.

Trump inspires many haters and when they are called out they come up with stupid excuses.

Best. Video. Ever. - Please RT! 👉 TrudeauMustGo 🇨🇦

Trudeau blocking rcmp should be your top story!!

Sick of your 🤬🤬🤬 biased reports!😡

I quote: 'Robinson said political parties should be talking about how to fund post-secondary education, student debt, research funding and the role universities and colleges can play to help stop climate change.' What part of that is not 'Left Wing' or liberal leaning?

The truth hurts.

Everyone knows that Canadian universities are stacked with Marxist professors, as sure as two plus two make four.

But Scheer isn’t very funny, is he?

This is how Trump gets away with what he says... no matter how deplorable, ridiculous or without merit.. it becomes normalized in this fashion.

Well, it's not funny you jerk.

It's all a joke, until you elect a Trump.

STEM is neutral, the rest is basically communist...

So everything statement that ScheerFolly and the CPC_HQ issue is a joke. Agreed. cdnpoli

The resemblance to Brownshirt's of the 30's is a tad uncomfortable. What's Next? 'Narc on your Grandpa' crusade.

Universities and Colleges are Marxist Socialist Progressive INDOCTRINATION CAMPS

Scheer stupidity. Cannot win with him.

I guess a grade 4 student is in charge of his campaign. CPCFail

Trumpism

Insulting the people that educate our children is a joke? Once again the Conservatives are trying to shame smart, educated citizens. Why?

Yeah, no it wasn’t. Just trying to back away from the blowback.

This is a non story. Everyone knows the majority of uni professors are lefties and many push their agenda. You can try to deny because know one has counted them, but everyone knows it's true. The question is, why are they embarrassed to admit it?

There is a great in-balance of left wing profs in our university community across Canada. You could mistake most campuses of being Red Square. Like to see a better balance.

Don’t vote for Andrew because he don’t like native people

Funny like nazis are funny, i suspect.

He’s scheerly not ready 🤦‍♂️

Sure it was. not

But he was quick to cry about the ScheerWasSoPoorThat hashtag, wasn’t he? His whole campaign is a joke, and a poor one. ScheerNonsense

Students at the usask LOVE the postcard... must be a true saying!

It was accurate of course. What is not spoken about is the far left teachings in law schools.

Insulting people who educate our kids is not funny. That is divisive FFS. cdnpoli

not an original idea - education is the enemy of religion - scheer subscribes to this

“Leftism in the academy is a positive feedback loop.”

Hahaha 😆

Are you kidding me. Everyone knows that the majority of professors are left wing ideologues. There is no need to apologize fir speaking the truth. Scheer, smarten up you bozo.

Well from what my two sons tell me, the majority of their professors are very left-wing progressives who actively promote & demand adherence to their way of thinking in lectures & assignments.

Left-wing CTV and Canadian Universities must be against facts about the number of left-wing Prof's within the universities. Get a grip kids, somebody finally makes a joke about it.

Sounds like the pamphlet is bang on. The professor's are overly sensitive. We all know universities have become progressive indoctrination centers. It's a disgrace universities should provide a diversity of political views. Look at what happened to Lindsay Shepherd.

Continuing Fords sad social engineering attempts, do left wing professors do home schooling?🙄

But this is Canada, if it offends, it cannot be funny. AndrewScheer CanadianPM

CTV, u have tweeted this a zillion times. Drop it already. CTV has already tweeted this story more times than Trudeau blocking the RCMP. Canadians, is this the fake radical country you want to live in? Of Fake failed loser media? Trudeaumustgo

Well.....I can see that🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Another fail for poor Andy.

CTV... you have the dumbest reports ever..

He did nothing wrong.

Scheer nonsense Pandrew

Has CTV said anything about Trudeau blocking the RCMP?

Another Trump tactic: throw crap out there to see if it sticks. If there’s backlash, just say it was all a joke. cdnpoli Scheer TrumpOnTheRideau elxn43 Vote2019 VoteWisely

Nope. Not funny.

It’s not. It’s not funny.

The only thing that’s funny is, how bad you WeakAndy are polling in Quebec..Ontario and Atlantic provinces. But at least you have 60% in Alberta and the prairies.😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Marxist professor says ‘left wing professors are not a problem on campus’ then confiscates posters put up by conservatives.

Hey being that it is a federal election can we just establish an accurate and objective disclaimer for CBC, CTV and Global that says “ this is not objective news & is a paid advertisement and Liberal propaganda! Please look else where for truthful representation of the facts!

AndrewScheer forgive us, but you are not funny, and shot like this is definitely not funny either.

Running out of feet to shoot.

Hey CTV any Trudeau news today like say planing to throw capital gains taxes on people’s primary residences ?

So typical of conservatives. The only reason they might go to University is for the political science degree so they can live off the public forever. All those other academics? They’re just leftists. No credit to their knowledge or research. Ignorance is these idiots

There are left leaning, right leaning and centrist professors on university campuses. What universities teach though is critical thinking and that could be detrimental to Scheer’s campaign. ScheerStupidity

I didn't see that part, but it's not hard to see First Nations are holding Canada hostage. They continue to think that Canada is only theirs. They are sadly mistaken. Well schrear just lost all their votes along with everyones elses He is wrong.
