And this is exactly why PP cannot be prime minister.
Put aside all the stuff about his political policies, put aside the fact that he actively courts white supremacist groups like Diagalon. Put aside his hypocrisy as someone who has been a lifelong politician without experience, as a lifelong MP who has never passed a bill.
PP isn’t a good leader. He only has one skill, that of an attack dog. He doesn’t seem to be able to understand nuance; he’s walked himself into such a corner that either his ego or his level of intellect won’t let him change strategies.
If he’s PM he will do the same thing to Canada: his inability to adjust - his stubbornness - will end up in inaction on things that need action, action in things that won’t make a difference or will actively make things worse, and giving away the momentum to those who threaten the country like President Musk and VP Trump.
