This guy is just Trump in disguise.
We canβt let this toxic conservatism take over Canada!
This whole speech ammounts to "You're supposed to be doing it to them! Not to us!"
You're not hurting the right people...close enough to a newspaper quote from turd's term one.
Temu Trump
People are starting to realize and the polls show since PP's numbers are lowering. As long as who ever takes over the liberals is good cause I'm afraid Trudeau has done too much damage.
Best thing that can be done is word of mouth to get as many knowing PP true nature.
He is not Trump in diguise. He is the conservative equivalent of J Singh. Both these leaders have no actual policy and just knee jerk support whatever is popular in the moment. When Trump was popular he supported trumpism, now that it's no longer popular he changed his tune. He'll change his stance every day.
This is a good observation. He wants to change his messaging because he sees the writing on the wall. Running around yelling about how shitty the country is, insulting his fellow countrymen, riding a wave of animosity towards minorities, etc. - this is the opposite of unifying. It's reinforcing the teams. He sees it's failing now, but he can't bring himself to actually attack Trump or the GOP. He has to lean into platitudes and empty shows of strength. At the end of the day, it makes him look like he's not angry enough at the US...probably because he's not. He doesn't have an affinity or an understanding of this country beyond narrow political gain, because he's never spent a day of his adult life outside of politics.
I'd also add that Poliviere has been dwarfed by the magnitude of issues.
When things were only slightly bad post covid, people still had the capacity to worry about things like how many genders there are.
Then things got existential level bad after Trump came in. Things got very serious. A lot of Poliviere's even recent complaints felt inconsequential while our sovereignty is under attack.
Yeah, a carbon tax that results in perhaps a percent of price inflation is just nowhere near as serious - neither in kind nor degree - as 25% across the board tariffs. And if we need to have emission reduction measures in place to trade with the EU, and trading with the EU is now an existential priority, then frankly he can sit down and shut up. The adults are talking.
(the above assumes all the talk of economic annexation is bluster, which is no longer a foregone conclusion)
I don't really understand the carbon tax debate. Carbon tax would reduce carbon emissions and cause mild inflation. However corporate greed causes mass inflation and provides no benefit. Why aren't people more mad at greedflation?
Because AXE THE TAX, LIBERAL CUCK!!
At least Singh has a rational political philosophy. That, a good mind, and positive values are enough.
