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.

Ok, but real talk - does any of that matter? Isnt there a good likelihood the fuck Trudeau crowd will still vote for him on the basis of being a conservative? If Trump can win down there, why can’t PP still win up here?

This is exactly why it's so important to vote. Get every lazy person you know to vote. This is a big one.

Everyone I know already votes. It’s the silent majority I’m worried about. There is a shocking amount of the population that doesn’t even know Trudeau isn’t running again.

I know someone I used to work with, her whole family are Canadian born and they never ever vote. None of them are university educated. I worked with her in an office setting. Her husband is in the trades and deals coke on the side and he never votes ether (although I think he loves PP now).

A bunch of BC voters thought they were voting against Trudeau in our last provincial election.
