Remember the clip a couple of years ago of PP chomping on an apple while chiding the man trying to interview him? In this case the source of the clip was PP's own social media channels. That clip was used by the "left" to suggest that PP's rude and dismissive behaviour demonstrated he was not suitable to lead the country.
The same clip was used by Fox News, the Daily mail and Sky news as an admirable example of a conservative "tearing apart a reporter", a behaviour they tend to characterize as strength. Allegedly Megyn Kelly commented "can we get him in our country?".
The same clip, same source, distributed widely, presented very differently, depending on the agenda of the outlet. "Proof" of unsuitability to lead or "proof" of strength? It's going to depend on how it's used.

The NDP leadership convention was cringe. Where do they find these mentally ill people anyway? The NDP should grow some balls, and tell them to get psychiatric help, and ban them from the building. Whatever Avi Lewis said, it was overshadowed by a bunch of delusional idiots, going on about identity politics.
This is precisely why nobody takes the Federal NDP seriously.
