Being charitable… I’m not sure this is the best messaging he can go with. He doesn’t seem to realize it’s over. Most of us are finished with the US and we can’t trust them at this point. He needs to start standing up for Canada and presenting a message of strength, independence and unity… Not continuing to offer platitudes and extending olive branches. Frankly, it looks weak, and it doesn’t instill any trust that he will do what’s necessary when the time comes.
He finishes off with a show of strength that hits all the right notes, but when it comes after the weaselly opening it just seems like too little, too late.
This is a good observation. He wants to change his messaging because he sees the writing on the wall. Running around yelling about how shitty the country is, insulting his fellow countrymen, riding a wave of animosity towards minorities, etc. - this is the opposite of unifying. It’s reinforcing the teams. He sees it’s failing now, but he can’t bring himself to actually attack Trump or the GOP. He has to lean into platitudes and empty shows of strength. At the end of the day, it makes him look like he’s not angry enough at the US…probably because he’s not. He doesn’t have an affinity or an understanding of this country beyond narrow political gain, because he’s never spent a day of his adult life outside of politics.
I’d also add that Poliviere has been dwarfed by the magnitude of issues.
When things were only slightly bad post covid, people still had the capacity to worry about things like how many genders there are.
Then things got existential level bad after Trump came in. Things got very serious. A lot of Poliviere’s even recent complaints felt inconsequential while our sovereignty is under attack.
Yeah, a carbon tax that results in perhaps a percent of price inflation is just nowhere near as serious - neither in kind nor degree - as 25% across the board tariffs. And if we need to have emission reduction measures in place to trade with the EU, and trading with the EU is now an existential priority, then frankly he can sit down and shut up. The adults are talking.
(the above assumes all the talk of economic annexation is bluster, which is no longer a foregone conclusion)
I don’t really understand the carbon tax debate. Carbon tax would reduce carbon emissions and cause mild inflation. However corporate greed causes mass inflation and provides no benefit. Why aren’t people more mad at greedflation?
Because AXE THE TAX, LIBERAL CUCK!!
