    We’ve got one of these Trump copies trying for the top job, in Australia, too. I’m genuinely worried.

      I am begging you to vote in the election this month.

      And if you aren’t personally strongly aligned with one of the parties, please vote strategically ABC - anything but conservative.

      Remember, the only wasted vote is the one not cast.

    “Anyone who is here on a visitor visa who carries out law-breaking will be deported from this country,”

    What does this have to do with Palestine? Pierre is not getting my vote but this seems way out of context.

        I agree, but does the article? I’ve read it twice and I only see what I quoted.

          This looks like propoganda. The article makes unsubstantiated claims without quoting sources, based on a generalized quote that did not say what the article states.

          If I wanted news about the subject, I would not go here to get it. Now might be a good time to learn how to block URL’s and certain content here on Lemmy, cause if you fall for the propos this time, how many times have you before and not known it?

          Propoganda is very effective, so much so we do it to ourselves. You need better defenses or you’re just going to be the useful idiot for propogandists. Which is exactly why the things we’re seeing these days are happening. pls stp.

    Between this and his tough on crime nonsense, it feels like Poilievre has given up on winning anyone over and is just trying to hang on to his base. Which is a weird thing to do when your base wasn’t enough to win the last election, but whatever.

    Do not let this weasel anywhere near power. At best, he’ll send Canada down the fascist drain like the USA, and at worst he’ll hand Canada over to the USA.

        Yes, but also please understand that registering to vote directly at the polling station is ridiculously easy. Even if you forgot to update your registration, go vote anyway, it’ll only take an extra few minutes.

        Either way you do need ID to vote but what qualifies as ID is anything from an absolutely enormous list of options, including, if need be, just having someone else vouch for you.

        See the full list here: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?section=id&document=index&lang=e

        Also of note;

        • Polling places open several days ahead of the election.
        • You can already - as in right now - go vote early at any elections Canada office.
        • Your place of work is legally required to give you time off to vote if none of those other options work for you.

        Please, please, please, do not get caught up in the Americanification of all online discourse. Voting in Canada is unbelievably easy.

    Keep on going, Poppinfresh. You’re already polling well behind in your own damn riding and will likely lose your seat completely.

    But sure…let’s just keep paddling that Trump canoe regardless of the fact that the Trump brand has been suicide for anyone who is not Trump (because happily it seems the rest of the world is still slightly intelligent)

    This is precisely why I know he’s bought and paid for by the same people who got Trump, Modi, Meili, etc… into power in their own respective countries; because ANY actual politician would immediately serve their own self-interest and decry Trump in order to help him with victory. In fact that’s what the rift in the Conservative party is all about right now; his own Conservative leadership is telling him to do exactly that on the campaign trail and he refuses. Why?

    Because it’s his job to be a Trump enabler, not a politician. He was Shenaniganned into the Conservative leadership role for precisely that reason; not to run the country, but to act as a surrogate for the same cabal of rich people who pull Trump’s strings.

      Have you checked recent polling? The Stop The Steal scandal has saturated the press and the bottom has fallen out of Liberal polling. If US hedge-fund owned media can keep it going for the next week and a bit, PP is likely to run away with it.

        I assume you’re referring to the Mainstreet polls. Not weighted that high and definitely an outlier and no sign that they are predicting a shift in the results.

        Nothing shows anything Pierre Populism is running away with as you said. Polls by and large still show a Liberal majority or at worse a Liberal minority given their ability to get seats better than their popular vote might show.

        I check various polls daily. Yes, Liberals have flattened out. But so have the Cons. All polls still point to 80-90 percent change of a Liberal Majority and it’s been that way for weeks with only a few percentage points changing either way. I’m not in panic mode.

        edited to add: https://338canada.com/polls.htm

        This scrolls through every poll daily and lists them individually. Conservatives have actually been dropping support (44 - 39).

    Speaking while campaigning in an Ottawa district—where he is running against Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister Mark Carney

    That is wrong on so many levels.

    At some point, if we aren’t already there, the tactic might be to recognize that the ship is sinking (or be pleasantly surprised it floats) and front-run another con to denounce PP to have the next election campaigning on “I was the only con who stood against PP, who lost such an incredible lead over the libs”. I’ve thought it for a bit, and seeing Ford being so vocal against PP now terrifies me given he keeps getting elected in Ontario somehow. I’m not very tuned in politically so I have no idea if this is something thay might happen, but I feel like we need a big push for “Strategic voting BUT let your liberal MPs know that you urge election reform” from day one, every day, until the next election.
