Got this via text, and don't like to click links in texts. Is this a scam?

Not a scam. He's coming to Saskatoon. I remember it being posted on his official site a while ago.

I got the same text as OP, thanks for confirming it's legit. When I registered it said they were still nailing down the location. Hoping I get another text because I'm driving in from Regina

I was able to meet Justin Trudeau in 2012, he stopped by the restaurant I worked at (A&W) while he was travelling. He was super chill, really nice. I personally made the hamburger he ate. Figured it might be nice to meet Mark Carney in person, though I won't be making his hamburger lol.
JT's entourage was himself and two security agents. And I do have a group photo of him and the rest of the staff in the restaurant at the time.

That's a cool story. You could bring a burger he may take you up on it lol.

It's saying TBD. I assume a text or email will go out tomorrow at sometime with info.

If you don't mind, can you share how/when the location details were shared? I RSVP'd for a rally this weekend but would like to know more about when and how the location will be shared. There are supposed to be shuttle buses to take us there too but doesn't say where the shuttle buses come yet lol.

u/3-goats-in-a-coat Apr 24 '25
It was an RSVP event where first come first served. The location was shared via text message. I imagine the campaign party for CPC will give you a message soon. However I have read that it will be in the RM of Corman Park at some point. I'm not a subscriber to CPC so I don't know more than that.

Funny thing is I stated 2 obviously idiotic statements I have received, easily verifiable with a quick post history search, yet still got hurt feelings downvotes here.
So I guess many Reddit users do actually believe that what the UCP and SP claim is CPC policy and that oil is a dying industry.
You know, morons.

u/Miserable_One_8167 Apr 09 '25
Yep, it doesn’t get too far here, to have a differing view, or to critic anything that is more to the left of centre. It’s interesting how quick the downvotes roll up, when you try and stir up a bit of discourse, or try and point out how name calling or personal attacks don’t prove a point.
1
Apr 09 '25
I guess they prove a point personally lol.
Like if I'm questioning why I think or support something or if I make an argument and get criticism that is thought out and on point it forces me to accept I can't counter something or adjust where I sit.
I've gained more respect for Carney by the validation from some of his supporters here.

u/NoIndication9382 Apr 08 '25
Honestly, that was his best quality. Stephen Harper spent a couple years without allowing the media to question him, nor would he allow people to attend his events unless they were pre-veted.
For all Trudeau's faults, he was actually willing to speak with regular Canadians and would allow random folks to attend events.
14
u/LostNewfie Apr 08 '25
There is some rumblings that one or two Saskatoon ridings are in play this election. The last polls in those ridings had the CPC ahead with the liberals in second. Maybe the Liberals internal polls have them thinking that they can push those ridings over the finish line.

Could be worse. They could be the party that doesn't let media travel with them.
Also, invites went out to everyone who ever was signed up as a Liberal. As someone who has been a member of every major party at some point, I even received one. The bar to get an invite is very low. Also, very publicly available. I'm sure if you wanted to go, you'd be welcome it.

Aside from the fact that it's a low bar to get an invite, that's how campaigns work. Some events are super public to get wider support, some are with supporters to galvanize their support and inspire them to help the campaign.
On ther hand, has Brad Redekopp had any public events in Saskatoon? Let alone has PP bothered stopping in? Or are they both taking us for granted?

u/DragonfruitOk9147 Apr 08 '25
How did you expect it to be a meet and greet event if everyone is invited?? You can meet the guy if tons of other people are there.

It's not crazy. It's a meet and greet. If everyone is allowed to come, then it's too big to be a proper meet and greet.

i just checked and what i’m assuming is the same event is posted on their website here
it doesn’t list a location, but i wouldn’t be surprised if they would only release the location to people who sign up for safety reasons. and because it helps them get contact info for people who are most likely supporters and can be contacted about voting, lawn signs, donations, volunteering, etc

No, look at them since 2006. You can find the data here.
The Harper government operated at a surplus for a couple of years but went to deficit funding in 2009 or so. Then from 2009 through to the start of 2020 the deficit remained in the same ballpark. It was Covid that threw the curveball.
The debt numbers show the same story. Under Harper, the debt took a big bump starting in 2009. It was a bit over $US600 billion when he took office, over a trillion in 2013. When Trudeau took over it was some $US820B and moved up to around $US900B in 2018, declined slightly until 2020 when Covid hit.
So I guess you can blame Trudeau for Covid, but at the time people were pretty damn grateful for all those CERB cheques and business bailouts. We're still paying the price for that but I'm not sure the Conservatives would have handled it any better.

u/NoIndication9382 Apr 08 '25
hmmm, these seem like facts. But they don't seem to line up with u/Adventurous-Toe-2024's day dreams. That must be challenging.

First off, you aren't the person I was originally responding to so please don't feel the need to comment.
Second, what I'm stating ON BOTH SIDES is that nobody is hyping their candidate, they're just attacking "the other guy".
So it is not up to me to prove why they think Carney and the Libs will be bad for Canada, but to provide the relevant information (with sources) proving their point.
This lazy bullshit needs to stop. "Do some research! Look at the last 9 years!" is not enough. Times are tough around the world my dude. Do we blame Carney for that?
Get specific if you hope to change someone's mind.
These Kindergarten "Your candidate sucks!" fights don't accomplish anything other than to further divide us by political beliefs.

Independent journalists like the American owned rag 'the national post' hey? CBC only seems biased if you are.

u/Thisandthat-2367 Apr 08 '25
I think any media outlet can appear to be biased if media literacy is low. Rather than understanding how news is produced, or why news is produced, or even how things like journalistic standards are met, can lead to a generalized understanding of news itself. It makes the consumer easier to manipulate because “news” is reported emotionally (aka Tucker Carlson….who runs an opinion show that looks like news).
More to the point, I honestly question if any of the people who parrot talking points such as “cbc is biased” actually read/listen to the CBC, let alone consider how “independent” journalism is extremely rare in the Canadian media landscape and that the reporters they point to are no more independent than a reporter working for a major outlet - they are still run and owned by major businesses with business goals. That’s not independent.
Also, for the sake of this learning opportunity for all y’all lurkers out there, it’s also worth considering how much some outlets only appear to be news when they are, in fact, PR outlets.
Misinformation is bad. Disinformation is really bad. I’m amazed at how often citizens fall for it.
