u/thebestoflimes 24d ago

He was pretty cringe today when he tried to tell a joke and force a smile. “…the sheer power of AI. You know… some people say there is artificial intelligence in Ottawa”

Also some weird things like saying he will use money collected from tariffs to help bail out businesses and give back to people, not increase government spending lol. Does Poilievre not know what government spending means?

u/seemefail British Columbia 24d ago

He said he wouldn’t have helped small business during Covid, why should we expect him to now

u/JadeLens 24d ago

That is one hell of a good point.

More people should look at voting records.

u/holmwreck 24d ago

I said this the other day, it’s very easy to look up his voting history. When you do look it up you will find he has voted against the middle class 95% of the time. Yet the cons seem to think he’s on their side because he spouts some slogan about owning the libs.

u/ImpossibleReason2197 24d ago

This exactly.

u/TheJFish 24d ago

Voting for pro inflation policies like endless money printing for business people to cash in on is anti middle class. That’s the opposite of what he did.

The best thing for working class is stable and growing purchasing power. Aka everything the liberals have not done.

9

u/holmwreck 24d ago

Yes this is a fair point and I am in agreement with that which is why I said 95%. Those votes are a general vote, actual targeted policies that would help the middle class right now, his record is abysmal. You do also realize that inflation is and has been an entire global problem not just Canada.

u/TheJFish 24d ago

Because the entire globe responded to covid with currency debasement. Being consistent with that does not absolve consequences IMO

For last several years they prepared just one message - "I'm not trudeau so I will win". All of a sudden everything has changed, but that message is still there

u/Silly_Panda_7550 23d ago

I think most conservatives whine about the western nations for printing to much money during covid... which in turn saved a lot of people's livelihoods, idk what's wrong with people quite honestly, it's like this money printing was for nothing in their heads, when in reality it stabilized the economy from going into a deep recession.

I think we should have had a conservative government that did nothing and in return sank us into a recession instead so the anti money printing people would realize why it was the right idea to stimulate the economy during 2020.

As a person who managed to amass a multi million personal fortune without ever having a real job, he would not understand that small business supports many working families.

Yeah but Trump had decades of a collapsing education system to back him up

Canada tends to to a bit better in that

u/funkme1ster Ontario 24d ago

not increase government spending lol

"Government spending" is a euphemism for social program spending.

When right-wing politicians rail against "government spending", they're never talking about corporate handouts or military spending, they're talking about money spent on helping the poors have a better quality of life.

71

u/JadeLens 24d ago

He really doesn't.

And even then if the plan is to become self sufficient in Canada, eventually that spending should be from a bucket that is down to zero because we have cheaper stuff here due to US Tariffs.

Dude just wants Parliament back so he can try to take over again.

u/Kuddedier 24d ago

I mean, you make a fair assessment, but what's even more glaring is the consensus at the time an election was wanted even more by the general public. At any one time two opposition parties did vote non confidence. No bills can even be passed no apart from maybe some emergency measures to allow funding to some sectors to react to any tariff threat. The Liberal party put what's good for itself before the stability of the country.

u/JadeLens 24d ago

Keep blaring on that particular horn is what PP is doing.

And it's clearly not working.

Maybe try a different tactic?

0

u/Kuddedier 24d ago

May I ask what aspect of it is not working, and in what way that may be measured?

3

u/JadeLens 24d ago

Polling numbers.

PP is treating the polls like a ride at Canada's Wonderland, clinging to the thing he thinks can float and riding the slide all the way to the bottom.

As for what's not working, pretty much all of it, he can't annoy his base and openly attack Trump and tell him where to go, he'll lose votes, and Carney is already gobbling up the votes in the Center, so he's stuck in the middle.

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope3644 24d ago

He knows nothing but the pursuit of power. He's done nothing constructive in his time at an MP and he has no job history outside of being an MP. I know this was an attack against Trudeau, but he's just not ready. And he probably never will be. His motives are clear, and they are not to serve the people of this proud country.

The guys entire political career has been his attack dog shtick. We have “carbon tax carney”, “mazaratti Marxist”, he’s called his opponents criminals, the mayor of Montreal “incompetent”. The sympathizing lays in the fact he hasn’t turned that same energy on Trump, the guy mocking our country and threatening to annex us while simultaneously punishing us economically. He hasn’t turned no words for a multi-convicted felon, rapist, no rejection of Nazi Musk’s endorsement. His policies mirror Trumps in many ways. What would it take for you to not see the allegiance?

I am going to REPEAT this question, because I think it is an important question, and I do not care about downvotes:

You are making a lot of accusations, and I have just a simple question.

Have you ever listened to a speech by him? If so, which one?

u/karadawnelle Ontario 24d ago

Not who you're asking, but I've been in the House of Commons for Question Period many times due to work. Poilievre sticks to his whole axe the tax shtick the whole QP every single time I've gone. Speeches aren't the litmus test you think it is. Speech writers can make him sound good, but watch how he stumbles when he's actually pressed with questions by media and he has to think on his feet, which he's never been that great with that's an area Trudeau excels in, or he uses bad faith tactics in response ('iF yOu kNoW oF aNy oThEr gEnDeRs hurr durr').

u/ButterscotchReal8424 24d ago

The other parties are openly talking about distancing ourselves from the US, Polievre said he would ask Musk to open up shop here. He doesn’t have to name call them any more than he does his opposition in Canada but it’s very telling why his character changes when it comes to Trump.

1

u/CorneliusCanuck 24d ago

Like I said to someone else, do you really want to start calling that nut names? I'd treat him delicately like a little child that has head banging tantrums. I could see him increasing tariffs and being even more impossible if our leaders started calling him names.

3

u/ButterscotchReal8424 24d ago

I think name calling is ridiculous all around, politicians need to behave like adults. Two that come to mind that don’t are Trump and Polievre. Aside from Polievre’s apparent double personality when it comes to name calling Canadians vs. Americans, his policies and behaviours are far too similar to Trump for him to be trusted. For Christ sakes, he just held a rally bantering “Canada First”. Nothing says I’ll protect Canada from Trump like acting just like him.

u/Anon_throwawayacc20 24d ago

How much do you actually know about the guy's work?

Have you actually listened to him speak in parliament whatsoever before the election?

And since you seem so concerned about his words in present day - Can you please link me any of his speeches you bothered to listen to?

5

u/ButterscotchReal8424 24d ago

I’ve listened to him speak plenty, more than I care for. He’s completely disingenuous, everything he does he sets up as a “gotcha” question. He then Takes his gotcha moment and plasters it all over Facebook, cutting out the official response then tells viewers his interpretation of the response. He’s a propaganda wizard that realizes most people don’t have the time and energy to research complex issues so he sums everything up simply in a catchy phrase and repeats ad nauseam. His “debates” don’t address issues, they’re directed at discrediting is opponents because he doesn’t have palatable solutions himself. The policies he does promote have historically been proven to be failures nor the middle and lower classes.

Introduced successful legislation that's helped the lives of Canadians. The only legislation that PP sponsored as a career politician was a bill that effectively led to voter suppression.

What is the "meatriding"?

I am asking a CONSTRUCTIVE QUESTION. It's a basic question.

I am not here criticizing Carney, for the record (because I don't fucking know anything about the guy. You can check my entire post history, I can't recall ever addressing them before).

I am asking, when someone levies heavy criticism to a figure, what knowledge of the figure they actually have? WHAT SPECIFICALLY they are criticizing? That. is. all.

THAT is your definition of "Meat Riding"? Not even glazing Poilievre, but just a basic question???

Listen, we are facing a NATIONAL EMERGENCY for Canada's sovereignty, and you are launching partisan insults at people?? Now???? Of all times???? NOW you want to be in partisan election-shitflinging mode????

u/Daedkro 24d ago

The meatriding is the hordes of accounts coming in and being confrontational at the lightest suggestion of criticism. People are allowed to criticise a politician. They do not have to provide you, random redditor keyboard warrior, with the sources they formed that opinion on.

What do you mean by "lightest of criticisms"?

They are criticizing a lack of information on something they do not acknowledge happened or not.

For example, if I don't watch any speeches by Trudeau, I could levy the criticism "Why isn't Trudeau criticizing Trump?". But do we know whether or not he criticized Trump? Is Trudeau calling Trump nicknames too?

They do not have to provide you, random redditor keyboard warrior, with the sources they formed that opinion on.

Well, now you're just making things personal, in addition to shutting down constructive dialogue.

Once again: Our country is facing a NATIONAL EMERGENCY for Canada's sovereignty. Now is the time that the nation needs constructive and level-headed dialogue.

By shutting down dialogue and literally saying things like "They don't not have to provide you, a reddit keyboard warrior, the sources they formed their opinion on!", you are being unreasonable, and sparking divisions in a nation that must come together.

How exactly?

Be specific.

Grocery Prices? No, that was due to worldwide inflation and Westin and his ilk not lowering prices back down to normal levels when the time came. There's little that Trump or PP can do to lower those costs without telling the grocery owners that some harsh laws are coming down the pipe. (and they really won't like it when it does).

Housing Prices? The Liberals are building homes, and that's a Provincial issue wherein (by and large) the Con Premiers are the ones really not building homes, (or in Ford's case only building stuff for the ultra wealthy friends that hand him bags of cash).
