Poor Pierre Poilievre. He Had to Buy Constituents. Literally.

Just how annoying do you have to be, when as a politician you can't get people willing to have their picture taken with or for you?

Let's ask Pierre Poilieve. To create a website suggesting that he is a friend of the immigrant community (I guess he got Jason Kenney's memo), he had to buy photos of immigrants from Stockphoto.com

At first glance, the photograph on Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre’s website appears to show him surrounded by a happy and diverse group of constituents. There’s a young Asian family with two daughters, a doctor who appears to be of Indian descent with an elderly white patient, and a three-shot of a young girl with her mother and grandmother. They stand in front of a large Canadian flag with a mist of red maple leaves around them.

But none of these people pictured on Poilievre’s website is actually a constituent of his Nepean-Carleton riding or, for that matter, a Canadian citizen. The images of this multi-ethnic group were purchased from online stock photo agencies and inserted into the website graphic with photo editing software.

Unbelievable. I wonder what staffer will be "fired" over this one.
