On Pierre Poilievre's Campaign website Pt 2: (Pt 1 Here:
The #1 item listed is 'JUSTINFLATION'. There are a lot of words but no details on how to solve inflation in Canada...
Well, there is this: "We need to return to fiscal responsibility and STOP #JustinFlation!"
Who keeps criticizing 'Trudeau' for spending too much? Poilievre. Who now keeps demanding Trudeau spend to help those suffering from inflation? Points if you guessed Poilievre.😏
Which is it? Spend less to cut the deficit or spend more to help fight inflation? In Pierre's own words, 'we don't believe in big government spending programs'. If he were PM there would assuredly be nothing to help anyone right now...
Return to fiscal responsibility is key for him. It means balance the books which means reduce reduce reduce spending and we all know who suffers under such reductions. What is nowhere to be found is any mention of inflation being a global problem, of the well known causes...
Russia's war on Ukraine, soaring oil prices, China's economic slowdown, global supply distribution disrupted. No mention of Canada's inflation dropping for the first time in a year in July. This is the man who advised 'inflation proof your money - buy Bitcoin'...
just before it famously crashed causing so many to lose their entire savings. He talks about 'the wealthy elite' (we're to ignore that he's become a multi-millionaire while an MP). We're to belief that 'Trudeau's debt' - mostly money used to save people from financial disaster..
during the pandemic, all of which was supported by one or more other parties, is the only cause of the current inflation. He ignores our record low unemployment. He provides no details re how he would 'fix inflation'...
But, even though he realizes we're all suffering from inflation, there's a handy DONATE button on every single page so you can give him your money and he'll solve everything.
BUYER BEWARE

On Pierre Poilievre's campaign website, he lists 4 priorities. #2 is 'RECLAIM CANADIAN VALUES'. Quote: "We need to get back to the basics. It’s time to stand up for fundamental Canadian values and protect Canadians’ freedom of speech and belief."
The question becomes...
how far back does Poilievre want to take us to return to so called 'Fundamental Canadian Values'. A hint is found in his use of 'freedom of speech', an American term, whereas in Canada we have 'Freedom of Expression'.
I'm sure he doesn't want to go all the way back to the time...
Slavery was legal in Canada. But just how far back to get to 'fundamental values'? Pre 1929, the year women were legally classed as persons for the first time in Canada? Or might it be the year all Canadian women had the right to vote? Most were 'given' that right after WW1 but..

Warren Kinsella writing about P Poilievre in May:
For Pierre Poilievre, the frontrunner in the Conservative Party leadership race, the return of the abortion debate is very, very unhelpful. For years, the Ottawa-area MP has enjoyed the support of the Campaign Life Coalition...
the powerful lobby group that wants to outlaw abortion, gay marriage and euthanasia.
On its web site, the Campaign Life Coalition gave approving green check marks to Poilievre for voting for bills that would make it an offence to “kill or injure a pre-born child” — and to...
“protect women from coercion to abort.” For most of his political career, Poilievre has opposed abortion, full stop. Only very recently — as the prospect of seizing the Conservative leadership grew larger — did Poilievre abandon his previous positions on abortion and gay marriage

How persistent, constant encouragement of Hate can win over a country: Following is a quote from Jewish Warsaw diarist Chaim Kaplan, from within the book 'Hitler's Willing Executioners - Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust'. While I do not intend this to be a direct comparison
between parties/supporters in Canada, the level of Hate being constantly promoted based primarily on False information does begin to compare. This quote will take a number of tweets, but please read all of them.
QUOTE "This is not just hatred who's source is a party platform, and which was invented for political purposes. It is a hatred of emotion whose source is some psychopathic malady. In its outward manifestations it functions as physiological, which imagines the object of hatred

During the Jan 6th attack on Democracy, Trump did not call for help, he encouraged the attackers, we hear him praise them in the video played.
During the illegal truck convoy occupation, Bergen, leader of CPC encouraged MPs to 'keep the truckers in Ottawa', in an email read ...
... out live by David Cochrane P&P as he received it. 'shouldn't we keep them them in Ottawa because it will hurt the PM'.
There is a difference in the level of harm between the two situations but - no difference at all between Bergen and Trump in what they were prepared to do.,,

Pierre Poilievre's Political Career:
After saying no one should be in for more than 2 terms, Pierre's into his 6th. Mystery is - what has he actually done for Canada since 2004?
And why was he just a back bencher for 10 years before finally getting a Cabinet Post?
On to two...
He was made 'Minister of Democratic Reform' finally, in 2013. And went on to present a bill (The Fair Elections Act) that was so bad, it had to be amended multiple ways, despite CPC having a majority, after a huge outcry claiming it damaged Canadian democracy...
After that mess, he was briefly Minister of Employment and Social Development for a few months in 2015 before losing to the Liberals. That is the sum total of Pierre Poilievre's roughly 18 years as an MP...

A look at Lib Gov spending for Indigenous Peoples in previous budgets 2015-2019
Don't tell me they've 'never done anything for Indigenous - educate yourself instead:

Progress on Indigenous Safe Water Advisories being lifted:
sac-isc.gc.ca/eng/1506514143…
When Min Marc Miller announced in Dec 2020 the Gov could not meet their Mar 2021 lifting of all water advisories, every paper in the country covered it.
Only tiny local papers ever cover when another advisory gets lifted. 117 so far.
