Since 2017, a show called ‘Political Blind Date’ has aimed to play Cupid for two politicians who — like Crombie and Scheer — hold opposing views on a policy issue

The woman gushes over her date’s “beautiful blue eyes.” He takes her — a big-city girl — to a picturesque rural town, where she pushes herself outside of her comfort zone by learning how to drive a wheat combine. Smiling proudly, he runs alongside her as she drives through golden prairie fields, snapping photos like a good Instagram boyfriend. Sparks fly.

They’ve been hooked up together for an episode of a show called “Political Blind Date,” which since 2017 has aimed to play Cupid for two politicians who — like Crombie and Scheer — hold opposing views on a policy issue. Johnston said the goal of the show, co-produced with Open Door Films, is to “make a little dint in the nature of political discourse in Canada,” which experts say is becoming more hyperpartisan and polarized.

So it’s perhaps surprising that not one of the politicians the show has approached has swiped left on participating after finding out their date’s identity. Both men cry during their on-camera confessionals. While neither has moved closer to the other’s position, both agree they “owe it to Canadians to get this right.” The date ends with a game of hoops.

G M BUTTS calling everyone who disagrees with him a nazi. What could be toxic about that?

I suppose you want to do that on the Public Dime as well.

The media should consider being less bias. Report the the news and let people form their own opinions. Think tanks and their pundits just spread propaganda.

The thing is. It's not supposed to be the Liberals against the PC's or any other party !! It's supposed to be ALL FOR Canadians. All I see is higher taxes, more fees and less service(s)Not to mention laws that illegally infringe on our Charter of Rights and our freedoms.

I’m not worried about toxicity, I’m worried about the Crime Minister breaking the law, Section 139 Criminal Code “Obstruction of Justice” and getting away with it!!!!!

If people think politics is 'too toxic' then grow a spine. What we see happening under this lib. gov't should be concerning for every Canadian. This coverup must be huge, if the libs are so willing to tank in the polls to protect snc. LavScam LetJodySpeak

No blind dates here!
