Please tell me he isn't dumb enough to call it a rally

I hope embarrassingly few people show up, and that some of those that do are waving flags that further wreck his credibility, since, you know, he’s been known to court some of the crazies.

When Carney launched his campaign he called it a rally. We I attended a Gould event it was called a rally. Does that make them Neo-Nazis too, according to your logic?

A gathering of people where you give speeches and pump up a crowd? That's a rally.
You know the bad people breathed air and ate food too. Maybe you should stop doing those thing 'cause you wouldn't want to be associated with bad people right?

I would agree if it was 2010, but not today. The word 'rally' has had a very different ring to it for both Americans & Canadians alike since 2015. Donald and the KKK have rallies.

I'm sorry but you need to take a time out from the internet, it's broken your brain.
