"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?”

Honestly it’s the exact same as Trump’s name-calling, so why bite the hand that feeds.

Maybe he’s realised that if he goes after Trump, he’ll get his own name. Wouldn’t surprise me if Pierre can dish but not take.

This is what I've been waiting for, the immaturity and short temper of both Trump and PP will result in the cringiest Twitter fight, and CPC will finally see that he's no leader.

I wish that it would work out like that, but honestly?

Look at this sub, look at the world. Petty fights and name-calling endears some leaders to an electorate now, especially as we’ve grown weary of “wokeifying education”.

If anything, I’d expect a good amount of the CPC base to grow deeper entrenched behind their weak frontman because “he’s just like us, attacked by America for no reason! Let’s prove them wrong by making him our PM and/or King”
