No, his claims are not "simply" ignorant, as the article claims:
his claims are INTENTIONALLY ignorant, which is malevolent, is disinformation, & is gaslighting-of-fact.
The difference between the 2 states is signficant.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

PP so pathetic. Lost the election lost his riding lost his mind. And he’s a career politician. So none of this is excusable.
Pathetic.
From what I've read, Canada DOESN'T designate nazis as terrorists.
Chickens DO come home to roost, "leaders", INEVITABLY.
Correct the problem!

He's trying to be disruptive in the same way as politicians in the Trump regime, and there's probably a reason for that. Maybe the same reason he won't get his security clearance?
He’s a piece of shit. Got voted out last election and then made another politician resign so he could run a “safe” conservative riding in Alberta. He is a garbage person with zero redeeming qualities who has never passed a piece of legislation despite being a lifelong politician never having any other job. He’s a grifter who has sucked off the taxpayer tit his entire career. He lives in taxpayer subsidized housing . He will never be Canadas Prime Minister. We call him PeePee, or Millhouse or just “massive douchebag”.
He and Danielle smith need to fuck right off this planet. Send them back to mars
He got voted out AND lost his riding.
For those in the US, it's the equivalent of a governor with presidential aspirations blowing a 30 point lead to lose the election, then immediately getting voted out of his governorship, only to then ask Greg Abbott to step down so he can run for governor of Texas while living in DC.
The guy fails big. And with no shame. We should give it a name.
Pp level fail.
More like a senator than a governor
"A Canadian politician"
Isn't this guy the head of their conservative party?
After he lost in the election,
Some rando step aside and give him his conservative seat.
Also he didn't even get the re elected in his own riding
Yup.
Hey now, it could have been the liberal party. They've made the "Whoopsie!" of endorsing fascism before.

It's never a bad day to punch a nazi.
Milhouse is already very punchable, Nazi or not. So sick of seeing him everywhere.
Tiny PP is a piece of shit. I had hoped Canada had cut off its PP earlier this year but Nazis are like hydras
well we did. and then one of his lackeys who did win in some butt fuck no where town decided to step down so PP could have it. I mean the guy not only lost the PM race but also lost his home riding so he quite literally had to move somewhere else and have that place handed to him.
He's a f--king dumbass. Lot's of us Canadians refer to him as "Piss Pants" or "Pee Pee".
Thats Little Pee Pee, thank you very much.

It seems that Beaver Trump wants to invoke the tired, old "But socialism in 'national socialism!'" trick. Surely, the same logic applies to Deutsche Demokratische Republik. I remember coming across Poilievre during the WE Charity scandal. I'm not Canadian but I really like their Fifth Estate documentaries and their coverage on the aforementioned scandal caught my eye. In a separate video, Poilievre grills the two heads of the operation. This seemly obscure Canadian PM suddenly became Canada's ~~favorite~~ favourite politician and possibly the next prime minister. But it soon become clear that Poilievre was just another right-wing, Trump-esque populist.
Shut him up now or you'll be like us in less than a decade.
He's just the latest in Rupert Murdoch's line of pets he has trying to spread his shit across Canada.
Harper was one too but thankfully his plan to implement Sun news, which would have been a news channel that was the Canadian equivalent of Fox, was never brought to fruition.
But sadly much of rural Canada drinks the Fox news firehose.
Dont brush it off. Look at us to the south. Dont brush this off. Chase these people with pitch forks and torches until they are forced to make their own shantytown in the wilderness. It won't go away they have to be forcibly removed.
It's already far deeper than him.. he's just what bubbled to the surface in that pot.
Canada being a racist country pretending to be progressive is its biggest flaw, I grew up hearing about how perfect Canada is, and then I got older and learned about residential schools and genocide and how they have historically treated people like me. Now im old and I see a country that doesn’t care that its citizens can’t afford food or rent or a future. It was all a lie.
Having said that, pp represents the people who caused all the misery and hate for centuries

He has to be the worst candidate they have put forward in a long time, carney is pissing me off but this guy is dangerous. As soon as he came back he started in in immigrants and his supporters started up their racist protests
So if socialism is bad because it's in the name of Nazis, then democratic republics for the people must be pretty horrible too, going by the DPRK.
While we're cherry-picking, the Kingdom of Norway is consistently one of the best countries to live in across several metrics. So clearly we should go back to kingdoms, because it's in the name. Sometimes the old ways are best XD
There's a much more-fundamental example:
Socialism is when parents shelter, clothe, & feed, their children, who don't have earnings to shelter/clothe/feed themselves.
Every parent who feeds their babies is demonstrating socialism, no matter what their politics purport to be.
Keep the framing universal, & that guts the gaslighting's position MUCH more effectively.

Thanks for sharing that idea! I appreciate what you’re getting at: that basic care (food, clothing) embodies the tenet of equality in socialism. However, the example of a parent feeding a child doesn't quite capture the power-relations, freedoms, and systems aspects of socialism. I don't think we really want to say a master feeding/clothing their slave or a king feeding/clothing a favorite court jester is really "demonstrating socialism". Socialism is about how society as a whole arranges ownership, production, and resource distribution (i.e. collective ownership of the means of production). It's a counter to capitalism.
Parental relationships are, ironically, a special case where limiting freedoms and greater power disparity are justified in most egalitarian systems. We usually don't give children ownership over the means of production.
Good formal description: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/socialism
Ah yes, gloss past the fact that they were nationalists before they were socialists, even if you take their name at face value.
Fucking Polievere. Every time I think he can't get any more unlikable.
Kick him in the mouth
Weenie.
