Canadians should start paying more attention to his nostrums and begin asking tough questions. Those are the types of questions that Poilievre likes to avoid because, in his view, journalists who ask them are part of a conspiracy against him.
I had the opportunity to work across the aisle from Poilievre for over a decade. They can lose the glasses, drop the tie, slow the cadence and reduce the Brylcreem. Those of us who got to know his overheated demagoguery firsthand know that nothing will have really changed – and that’s the danger.
I’m not going to say “We should all listen to Mulclair.” But maybe this once. The fact is PP doesn’t have any real expertise, except minister positions. How can you trust the country to someone who’s never held a real job?
Nice hair, though.
Trudeau basically won on that platform, so it’s not surprising to see someone else trying it now.
How many times will Canadians take a tire iron to the knees before they figure out that being hit with a tire iron to the knees is a bad thing?
Every election cycle is the same thing … business and corps push Conservatives, everyone thinks they’re a good idea and vote them in … shit happens everyone is unhappy so they go with Liberals for a while
Rinse, repeat … big business makes lots of money … repeat, repeat
This is the best summary I could come up with:
When he finally did make cabinet, after years of languishing on the backbenches, he proposed an electoral reform that would have stacked the deck in favour of the Conservatives.
Instead of showing leadership, Poilievre surfed on a populist protest wave that led to police being put in danger at a border crossing in Alberta and the closing of the crucial Ambassador Bridge in Ontario.
People walk past a truck bearing a flag calling for Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre to become Prime Minister, during the “Freedom Convoy” protest, in Ottawa, on Feb. 16, 2022.
Micro-targeting a sub-question on complex transgender issues is the same ‘thin edge of the wedge’ technique used by conservatives in the matter of reproductive choice.
Modern politics is all about polling, focus groups and masses of information, on every person in our society, that can be used to develop intelligence on how to target issues and win votes.
Trudeau is deservedly rapped for his phony virtue-signaling and his objectively abysmal record on key issues like climate change.

There’s nothing to see. It doesn’t matter how close you look.
Pee Pee is a technocrat, in the literal sense. Techno = skill, crat = power
Skill to get and maintain power. I think Mulcair is just jealous that he isn’t as skilled, otherwise I don’t think any different of him. Political office is a magnet for such people.
What will he do once he gets the power? Impossible to know at this point, but he’s figured out how to get more and that’s exactly what he’s going to do.
