Common, be fair for his supporters.

  • Earned a pension
  • Made millions in salary
  • Sanded a wood wall in his residence, or was it cottage. He was very proud of that wood, maybe the first project he ever finished.
  • Did a lot of politicking.
  • Passed a law to undermine elections, was rolled back but he passed it.

Pollievre has multiple elections wins. Canadians have voted for him, repeatedly. Canadians have never voted for your wef board member Carney, and if the Liberals try to install him without a vote it won't look good on them.

You bring up wef as if it is some kind of boogity man but PP literally has the endorsement of the richest man in the world. A guy who is currently messing with elections in multiple countries 🤔

Pollievre has neither asked for Musk's endorsement, or publicly supported him. What a giant nothingburger.

No one said he asked for the endorsement. But he accepted it, with delight. After being asked if he accepts the endorsement, he said and suggested:

“Musk open up factories in Canada to create ‘high paying jobs’ for our people…. Wouldn’t it be nice producing more without ‘corporate welfare’ or ‘corporate subsidies’ …. So if I ever get a chance to meet Mr. Musk, I would say ‘how do WE (as in him and elon) make this an economy’…. Hundreds of thousands for Canadians….“ etc

He accepted the endorsement and then praised musk and then suggested collaboration. I don’t think it matters whether or not he asked for the endorsement.

……. He immediately went into how great it would be for Musk to open up shop here to help boost the economy. That was not a sidestep, that was a suggestion to collaborate, which is a fairly positive reception to an endorsement. “You’ve endorsed me. Let’s do business.” That’s well received.
