Hang on… That photo is dated June 3, 2017.
Scheer seemed to cough on his words as he told the gallery he wasn’t under influence from any fringe group: “There’s some suggestion out there that I’m beholden to a certain group within the Conservative family,” he said, clearing his throat. He then pulled out a carton of milk and took a swig, thanking Canada’s dairy farmers.
I don’t know if Scheer frequently chugs milk from the carton or if it was just a good photo to decorate a current story. It’s still a dog-whistle.
And seems to be his only joke.
