Is it a coincidence that a guide to identifying Nazis was right below this post? LOL
Honestly we (Canadian media + the public) should just take the nonsense Trump is saying and question the Conservatives here about it.
“Tell me about your concepts of a plan for healthcare.”
“Are immigrants to Canada eating the dogs, eating the cats, and eating the pets of the people that live there?”
“What are your thoughts on Project 2025?”
“Do you strive a Union with the US so you can be ruled by world’s finest nepo babies?”
I get a paywall. I tried a few paywall removers but to no avail. Anybody else got any luck?
Sorry about that. Here’s an archived link.

Thank you! ❤️
You’re welcome. :)
Alex Jones endorsing CANADA regime whore…
That’s a fucked up time line y’all!
(Rant) Seriously, how this useless attack dog brought the Conservatives to its status today is still beyond me. He provides little to no policy plan even today, basically nuke and no pave. Okay, maybe there’s some paving, but it all just seems like paving the way for the rich and for industries we should be moving away from. Our current policies don’t work well for us anymore; we know that. But why does it seem like we’re looking in the direction of the party that seems to offer nothing, possibly worse? I’m scared of our future, and I’m already very afraid of where we are right now.
A mixture of people voting with their hearts instead of their minds, and people being very ignorant about politics.
The end result is a voting population that will vote based on knee-jerk emotional reactions and are very gullible and lead astray by false promises, lies, and misinformation. Basically: They are extremely easy to manipulate.
A lot of Canadians feel Trudeau is a shit, do-nothing politician and PM and that he has to go, and I frankly agree with them. The problem, though, is that they let their hatred of the PM (and his party) blind them and they end up voting for a party which has no functional solutions to everything they hate Trudeau for. The problems that Trudeau has neglected DO need to be taken care of but the CPC doesn’t have a platform or policies to actually deal with them. Voters don’t care though; they just want Trudeau gone. They just want red party gone.
Two or three years from now when PP is prime minister - his ratings are going to tank and people are going to start hating him. The scandals will start stacking up and media pressure on him and his corrupt ministers will continue to grow, and many who voted for him will be crying that they got betrayed. Maybe some day people will learn to stop voting for con artists but I doubt it’ll be in my lifetime.
I do not understand this describing Trudeau as do nothing. Name a file and it doesn’t take very long to come up with things he has done. New upper tax rate, lower income me tax for everyone else, turning Harper’s tax credits for the rich into direct benefits with progressive payouts to help the poor, 0% Federal student loan interest and very generous repayment timeframes, big investments in the EV transition and home heating, cannabis is legal now, 150 water boil advisories lifted, huge investments in affordable childcare brought regulated child are costs way down, I could go on and on and get more and specific but honestly, people are so worked up they don’t remember any of this or they reply with their pet grievance.
How quickly we as a country forget that these things can be rolled back.
And as such is how the beat goes, decade after decade. It will never change, it has been a rinse and repeat for ages, both at the federal and provincial levels.
One outcome of the possibility that Poilievre finds success in a federal election, is that rhyming and nickname politics will become the norm. Among other things, a CPC government will be tiring and annoying.
I think we’ll have to do some soul searching as a nation if the CPC gains any ground in this election. Like you, I struggle to understand how people don’t see Poilievre as comically idiotic, both from a policy and rhetorical standpoint. He’s such an insincere goof. Though I guess, maybe we’ve been conditioned to insincerity from Ottawa over the past decade.
The Liberals had all the chance in the world during Covid to regulate profiteering in basic needs and did precisely fuck-all. Weston makes hundreds of millions from ludicrous price gouging and grocers get “talked to”, but nothing resembling sanctioning. So forgive me if I don’t believe their bullshit yet again.
