OTTAWA - Pierre Poilievre, who has famously spent his 21-year political career vociferously attacking any person or political entity which opposed him, has vowed to "any day now" begin training that same rhetorical fire on the American billionaires currently threatening Canada's sovereignty.
I think Canadians are slowly coming to the realization this guy is nothing but a chode whiny-ass nerd.
Donald Trump is doing us a favour in a lot of ways.
My dad’s one of those conservatives that’s not a racist homophobe but is just kinda dumb. My mom texted me recently that he was telling a family friend that he wasn’t gunna vote for Pierre because he can’t stand him acting like a child. I’m from PP’s riding, and my dad will often say “he’s a good dude I met him” like that means anything so this is kinda awesome that he’s at least not going to vote for that loser.
My FIL is actually a long term inner circle Conservative party member, and even he’s refusing to do anything for them this round. He was mad as hell that PP got nominated.
We’re Canadians, most of us are relatively good in some way.
His entire political campaign literally fell apart when Trudeau decided to step down.
His only retort that I’ve seen so far has been comparing the new potential liberal candidate to Trudeau. They have absolutely no new ideas or originality other than cut taxes and services, surprise surprise.
That’s why they went quiet for a couple weeks. Just grasping at straws now, this new strategy is basically throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks.
It’s going to be hard to run an election against a former Bank of Canada, Bank of England governor. Carney’s a pretty smart dude, like the Conservatives always run on economic stuff, it’s all they got going for themselves. This dudes going to be able to stand up and say, oh well I’m an actual economist, I took a leading role in steering our country away from financial destruction in 2008, like here’s my economic stance.
PP in the meantime is going to be like I’m a conservative bootlicker and ive never had a real job…
Like come on. I ain’t saying a large portion wont vote for him, they will because people are pretty stupid these days. But during the election, like that’s going to be peak US meltdown probably, you got that weighing in, and all PP is going to be able to do at a debate is hurl insults. Canadians don’t tend to really love that. It was all fun and games while everyone was locked up during COVID and getting mad to go hard at the Liberals, but with the sober second thought thats about to start really kicking in, it’s going to be interesting to see how this all shakes out. Which in itself is interesting, considering barely even a month ago it was looking like a for sure Liberal bloodbath. Still might be, but it’s getting interesting.
