    “His answer to everything is cuts and be angry”

    • That’s the Republicanuck playbook succinctly put in a single sentence.

    Sounds like the USofA Republicans. Long on fear mongering, short on actual policy to help everybody.

      Poilievre is very obviously copying what he sees Republicans doing, including the bigotry, the nutty conspiracy theories and the pandering to fascists. The depressing thing is that his poll numbers show it works.

        I think people are also sick of Trudeau so we might end up with this jackwagon just because of that. Of course no 3rd option will ever be considered as usual.

          People who vote ‘fuck trudeau’ need to understand the difference between the Frying Pan and the Fire. I’d be VERY okay if they could fuck around on their own because we who can do simple math already know the rest.

            I’m on the ‘fuck trudeau’ bandwagon, but it’s tough when you refuse to vote blue as well, and you’ve recently gotten on the ‘fuck singh’ bandwagon on top of that.

              I voted Green a few elections ago.

              But usually I just vote for my MP.

    Both parties seem to be much more about messaging about “but the other guy sucks because” rather than committing to doing anything themselves about current issues.
