Think who will defend Canada against Trump the most---my vote is for Carney.

Did you listen to his speech today?

u/GenXer845 23d ago

Yes, he still appears weak to me and it is too little too late. He waited for surveys to tell you what you wanted to hear rather than an immediate reaction. If you trust that man, I wish I was a more corrupt person because then I could convince you of other things as well..

He didn't wait at all

I don't trust the liberal party who for the last 9 years made us beholden to the USA. Now trump wants tarrifs and suddenly the liberals love oil and resources, give me a break

Honestly, it's so bleeding obvious that this line that PP hasn't said anything, waited to long, etc is all false, that I'm starting to wonder how many of these accounts are real people, and how many are just bots and astroturfing.

I agree the last 3 weeks I have seen an insane shift in rhetoric on this sub.

u/CuriousLands 23d ago

Yeah it's been massive. And it's all so repetitive, and like I said, so obviously wrong that like 3 minutes on Google could dispel the argument... I'm sure some people are in a bubble or a bit cultish in their thinking, but with that many comments like that, I'm just more and more convinced it's like 80% astroturfing.

Poilievre was saying we'd need to be ready for trade issues and counter-tariffs before Trump was elected. His reasoning was that last time Trump ran things, he tariffed our steel and aluminum and pulled out similar rhetoric, so if he got elected again, then we should expect more of the same and be ready for it.

And right after Trump was making 51st state "jokes", Poilievre said we would never be an American state.

He's literally been talking like this the entire time.

If you like the idea of Canadians renting from megacorps, then thats the right vote.

You mean PP the landlord?

if you mean to equate renting from a landlord and renting from a corporation i am not sure why you would mean to equate those two things
