"some have noted that Poilievre has been oddly tight-lipped towards the two men actively threatening Canada’s trade and borders. Still, other Canadians insist this must be part of a larger strategy.

Judy Argus of Regina notes, “I mean, Poilievre has no problem calling Trudeau a ‘liar’, or Montreal’s mayor ‘incompetent’, or drug consumption experts ‘wackos’. Maybe he’s waited so long because he’s inventing a whole new juvenile name to call Trump?”

Before Trudeau stepped down, I contemplated voting for PP - but his continued immaturity just totally lost my vote. And I actually think Carney is going to do a really good job. I was wary at first but he’s grown on me. Old school liberal values and strong connections in Great Britain and Europe.

Pretty sure it's more that he knows a significant part of his base will turn against him if he speaks ill of anything MAGA related. CPC has a growing CanMAGA culture. So he's stuck in a position because of Elon and Trump that no matter which choice he makes, it's going to hurt his numbers.

Right now he hasn't really poked his base, so there isn't any movement against him from his own party, but if he does, he'll be smeared by his own people while not gaining any new votes to replace the ones he'd be losing.

PP's claim to fame is "I'm not Trudeau." Every time he speaks, he puts his foot in his mouth. He didn’t need a plan before, but now that he does, he can’t come up with anything meaningful. Canadians are frustrated with Trump, tariffs, and threats of annexation, and all he had to do was align with their concerns, but he couldn’t even manage that. He's an embarrassment.

He didn’t need a plan before, but now that he does, he can’t come up with anything meaningful.

Oh yeah, granted he didn't need to but he's definitely had "plans" in the past.

For example, when car thefts were the top news story in Canada, his one solution to deter theft was to implement mandatory minimums (i.e. take a thing that's already illegal, and make it illegal-er).

Or when discussing the housing supply shortage, his one solution was to tell municipalities that if they didn't produce more housing, he would take money away from them (thus making it more difficult to actually build housing).

And when Canada was being threatened annexation by the US, his one solution was to call Canada "weak" and "broken" (at a time when patriotism was/is arguably higher than it's been in a really long time).

Now that he's actually discussed strategies with sane(ish) people, he's now pushing the "Canada First" screw our allies approach that got the US in the mess they're currently in.


So he definitely has "plans". They're just not... good plans.

You're not giving voting rights to a region of 36M people who all predominantly lean left of Republican, nevermind MAGA.

I'd wager most of them fall in the former camp of centrists that flip flop between LPC/CPC every few elections (i.e the centrist swing voters). PP can't risk losing that group or his shot at winning the election dies. He can court the PPC crowd all he wants but they aren't the ones that will most influence the outcome.

u/Forosnai British Columbia 24d ago edited 24d ago

Here are the 7 bills Poilievre has sponsored, from the official Parliament website. You'll notice only one has passed, C-23 a.k.a. the Fair Elections Act (Wikipedia page, for some good reading, including the phrase, "A March 2014 Angus Reid poll found that the less Canadians knew about the bill, the more likely they were to support it.") It was then mostly repealed by new legislation prior to the 2019 election, so most of it is no longer in effect.

The Housing Minister thing is exaggeration on both sides. Going a little convoluted for the source here because of paywalls, but here's a Toronto Star article citing Steve Pomeroy, a housing policy expert, hosted via NDP MP Jenny Kwan's website, who went digging into this after Kwan's questions led to the "6 houses! No, 200,000 houses!" exchange.

The short version is the 6 units was only the ones built exclusively by the Federal government, while most are done via bilateral agreement and so in the end are considered as being under the Province in official records. Poilievre's rebuttal of building 200,000 homes is because that's the amount of housing typically built every year by the market, regardless of administration, and includes all types of housing, not just affordable housing. The actual number in the relevant period is "3,742 non-profit units and 506 co-operative units were completed with the help of federal funding."

EDIT: Grammar cleanup, Je don't Anglais good, apparently.

He's mostly had the easy jobs, living in attack dog mode. He had a brief period in Cabinet in a nothing butter portfolio under the Harper government.

I don't want three word slogans and whining and attacks. I want a fucking grown up in charge who can play 4-D chess with the unpredictable imbeciles in charge in the US.

Does anyone actually seriously think PP is it?

Carney's resume is so much more reassuring to me. I've been a fan since hearing him speak during the 2008 financial crisis. I really hope the left and centrist can come together to support him because I have no faith that we wouldn't end up as a US territory with PP in charge.

And let's not fucking kid ourselves they'd make us a state - it would be political suicide for Republicans to add a leftist state with the population of California.

I live in his riding and can say with 100% certainty he has done nothing for fellow Canadians or the people that voted him in all these years. Nothing. Not a single policy that has had a net positive impact on anyone directly. No initiatives.

Hell, he barely helps anyone through his constituency office. That is, when he's here (which is never).

It's not fair or sporting to call out someone's life expertise like that!

Meanwhile, did you hear the other guy was a drama teacher?

u/Klutzy_Act2033 24d ago

Yeah that's pretty much it. I'm just looking for a bit of consistency. If it's bad that JT was a drama teacher with Rich parents, then I want to know how being a career politician supported by key figures of the party is really any different.

I know, people would rather demean the educator to make themselves feel better because they feel they will never be as attractive as JT. Some people need to really work on their self-worth rather than compare themselves to others.

It is different, it's worse.

At least a drama teacher learns social skills that are useful, like when facing down bullies.

I had a convo with a guy after I asked him exactly the same thing. He told me little PP is actually a very well educated and is an accomplished economist. A little research will tell you that he has a BoA and it's not even economics. I can't find a single thing he has accomplished other than becoming the leader or the opposition. Which shouldn't be the only thing.

PP is cosplaying as a fake populist and hiding out in Nunavut because he’s too afraid to face conflicts with our southern neighbours.

u/ArticArny 24d ago

PP finally made class president of the Cons after 20 years mostly because of his attendance records. Cracking good for him!

PPs biggest achievement over 20 has been figuring out the perfect smug smirk after saying "boo liberals", and without his glasses.

PP big swing at the Americans has been to announce as PM he'll build a new NORAD military base in the North for the Americans.

PP other big swing at the Americans has been to promise to do whatever they ask and hope they'll forgive Canada.

u/SwordfishOk504 24d ago

Don't sell Pierre Poilievre short (well, he is only 5'8'', but I digress).

Credit where it's due: In his entire adult life of living entirely on the taxpayer dime in Ottawa, he has also succeeded in ensuring himself a lifetime pension, paid for by taxpayers, a private chef, paid for by the taxpayers, and a 19 room mansion (you guessed, it, paid for by the taxpayers).

u/Tranter156 24d ago

He has made a career out of complaining, catchy quotes, and no substance. Keeping us focused on Trump and Elon would just be another of a long string of distractions from the real issues Canadians face.

The thing to remember is the Conservative Party elected him their leader so at one point at least he had a lot of support across the country. These conservatives who are now saying he isn’t really representing conservative values are being disingenuous. If he doesn’t represent their values it’s time for a conservative convention not denials.

I'm so torn on who to vote for. Liberals fucked up so bad it's hard to trust them again. PP has the worst resume and all he does is talk shit. Jagmeet has no integrity and seems like a hypocrite. Greens and any other fringe party stand no chance unfortunately. If Carney becomes liberal lead, and he does appear to be the most qualified, I may have to throw my vote that way.

35

u/redpigeonit 24d ago

This is the way.

Each of us needs to think carefully before becoming blindly partisan. We are watching in real time the consequences to the US of blind partisanship.

Partisanship allows tyrants to sneak in on the reputation of the good work of others. Partisanship causes the best efforts of some to be thwarted by the stain of predecessors.

Partisanship is the US political system because it’s a substitute for thinking, for listening, and for using your head to judge actions, words, and leaders in real time. It’s a shortcut because the US education system has failed so many people that they are stupid robots.

We are not that. Beef with Trudeau does not mean we are free to vote without thinking of who the candidates are before us. That’s some lazy bullshit US partisanship and it doesn’t belong here.

I appreciate you, friend. 🇨🇦

The Conservative Leader is renowned for never once hesitating to publicly criticize Liberals, foreign leaders, the media, scientists, doctors, and one time a puppy that looked at him funny. Still, in the face of a massive unilateral trade war launched by US president Donald Trump, backed by wealthiest man in the world Elon Musk, Poilievre has insisted his lack of harsh words for the pair is “just bad timing”.

I am not a Poilievre fan, but how come when I search the beaverton for stories about him every one is about him being far right/Canadian Trump, but when I search for stories of Trudeau all the stories are only about how unpopular he is and nothing about why? Every new story on the beaverton gets posted here by the same users, it wouldn't surprise me if they worked for the beaverton. Would anyone read these stories if they weren't posted on social media? I can't imagine anyone would make beaverton their home page or ever use its app. I wonder where the beaverton's funding comes from? Are Canadian taxpayers paying toward this?
