@KnightLegg What’s even crazier is the AI ads don’t even get a fraction of the likes as his IRL ads.

Spencer Pratt is now outraising the incumbent mayor of LA by 10x. Those viral ads are changing the game. Here’s whats crazy: he’s not even making a lot of the most viral or popular AI ads. It’s grassroots. People are tired of the ‘safe supply’ decline of the downtowns of LA - and major Canadian cities too. Thats why a political outsider could actually win in completely Democrat-controlled LA. Love to see him win it and bring in a team that can send the corrupt bail laws, drug supply and homelessness NGO game packing. It doesn’t work in LA and the same failed ideas have been ruining Canada too. Here’s to the courage and ingenuity of this guy and the possibility of urban renewal! x.com/eclipsethis200…

Credit to Gene Parmesan @dsonoiki, the creative genius behind this Pratt ad. Following him. You should too. The guy has range.

This is brutally simple and yet effective.

LA - is probably the only city in the world where creatives that like you can generate ads that go viral with millions of views - so good your opponents don’t even realize it’s not you they’re fighting anymore. @Hotshot_Movie, Pratt’s content director, has pushed back on the “AI” critique of his insanely viral campaign (and his hapless opponents…) - while @Rightanglenews details a clip of the Pratt team using pressure-washed stencils to drive home the ‘clean up this city’ point. Campaigns are hard. If this guy can run LA half as well as he’s running this campaign, the city is in luck. So is everyone in places like Canada who have lived with the grotesque urban decline from this corrupt ‘safe supply’ NGO grift - and had to watch, with their kids, the publicly-drugged slow-motion suicide of thousands with mental health problems. Here’s to the hope this Pratt campaign has ignited again that good ideas - well communicated - can prevail over really bad ones….

@lalovestrump @Hotshot_Movie That’s got to be at least partly true. This guy has the passion focus and energy you would want cleaning up the system that burned down his home and makes so much of LA unliveable

Another great ad by Spencer Pratt. He’s running (against all the odds as a Republican) for mayor of LA. If you follow politics, his media strategy has completely changed the race. He’s gone from single digits to the latest Cygnal poll showing incumbent mayor Karen Bass at 25% with Pratt at 22%; with 25% undecided. The open primary for mayor is Tuesday June 2. Unless someone wins 50% the top 2 go to a runoff on November 2. He could actually win this.

Spencer Pratt is completely changing the game of American politics in his run for Mayor of LA 1. His ads are game changers. The old political ad format is dead compared to these irreverent and edgy viral hits. 2. He’s got courage. He’s calling out the decline and crime in a way that punches through the noise and confronts the Democratic machine running California. 3. He’s got a real plan and vision for urban renewal and ending the homelessness and safe supply drug crisis. Canadian conservatives, pay attention.

@KnightLegg Not an ad by Spencer Pratt. Wasn't paid for by him, or requested by him. This piece of creative genius is the work of @dsonoiki. Credit where credit is due.

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

Two terrible things about a carbon tax 1. It makes Canadian energy more costly and less competitive v Russia our top apac competitor. 2. It does not reduce global emissions. In fact, to the extent it prevents the development and shipping of gas to Asia to offset coal, it makes global emissions worse. Canadas Feds have embraced a classic ‘closed set’ economic fallacy that tries to solve global emissions with domestic constraints. Our Paris Accord commitment would be met faster by developing and shipping gas to Asia. Because it’s not ‘domestic warming’ @CoryBMorgan

List of countries that refuse to buy oil & gas unless it has had a carbon tax imposed upon it: . . . . . . . .

Adam Waterous is one of the top investors in Canadian energy. This is one of the most balanced assessments of the new Ottawa-Alberta MOU. Three themes: 1. Canada as energy superpower is great PR, and a nice change coming from the PM. 2. Govt-govt MOUs won’t create a pipeline without investors and builders at the table. 3. Growing the carbon tax 6.5x with C-48 & C-69 still in place means investors will walk away from Canada. These regulations kill investment, do nothing for the planet, and push talent and money out of Canada to the USA.

@KnightLegg The policy ignores opportunity costs. If you really want to spend so much public money trying to make the world a better place, and I'm not saying you should, is climate change even the right place to start?
