A columnist ridicules political branding attempts by the Conservative opposition led by Stephen Barbeque, comparing it to corporate rebranding. The piece notes public photo ops, a pot belly reveal, and the emphasis on personality over policy, citing Trudeau and Kennedy as contrasting showmanship. It critiques Peter MacKay and Martin era dynamics, mocks Geldof Live 8 expectations, and comments on Toronto Gay Pride. It argues branding can't change core leaders and political figures.
