The emotional & intellectual immaturity of a man who speaks to people who deny science, residential schools, & are racists & homophobic says to me that he really doesn't want to be Prime Minister.
One thing for sure: powerful people won't be trembling in his presence🤦♂️! #cdnpoli
“At some point Mr. Poilievre needs to begin showing that he is prime ministerial material, that he has the gravitas to ascend to such an important position. Because up to now, he’s been one of the least serious Conservative leaders we have seen …” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
And the party leader which courts extremism in Canada? Pierre Poilievre:
“Mostly it is a kind of adolescent nihilism, an unwillingness to be bound by any constraint, whether of taste, morals, logic or reality – and, ultimately, the law”
Poilievre put the #mgtow in 50 videos reviewed by Global News .. tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, Stephen Harper’s endorsement at the recent Conservative leadership contest, etc. globalnews.ca/news/9178531/p…
Pierre Poilievre, political arsonist
"And as the ongoing collapse of the Trumpist movement shows, a political firestarter can sometimes end up burning their own house to the ground."
"...the reactionaries are holding their last stand. That’s what all of this – Poilievre’s support, the Convoy, the anti-vax and anti-mandate movement, the PPC’s support at the last election.... It’s a losing hand, but it’s all they have left." scrimshawunscripted.substack.com/p/poilievre-au…
As economists' understanding of inflation as an outcome of social conflict is becoming more widespread, the Leader of the Opposition's answers to it are stuck in the 70's.
Poilievre offers the disenfranchised his anger, but no solutions
By continuing to speak for orgs like the Frontier Centre & for supporting misogynists like Peterson, Poilievre won't be getting the endorsement of women anytime soon #cdnpoli
Given the author called our PM "smug", that he falsely believes PMJT refuses to fund healthcare, & he's "callously" ignoring the "hurt" Canadians are experiencing, I will forgive him for absurdly believing that "compassionate conservatism" exists. #cdnpoli nationalpost.com/opinion/rahim-…
He's not ready - Canadians can allegedly opt out of inflation by opting into crypto, claimed Poilievre last year. A few short months later he doubles down & "opts into 241.8% inflation"!
Today, despite inflation being GLOBAL, Mr Poilievre claims he can "inflation-proof paycheques" by removing imaginary Gatekeepers. Wasn't he their former finance critic?
If Poilievre is the cream of the crop, Conservatives have a serious problem with crop failure!
Liberal media "carrying water for PM Trudeau" is why he doesn't like to do interviews with the Ottawa Press Gallery?
Is it me or is Pierre Poilievre a wee bit too immature to represent Canada in a dignified way on the international stage? #cdnpoli
The only reason this man hates responding to regular media is because he's deflecting from the lack of leadership skills he has demonstrated lately & isn't up to the job of PM.
All he has is anger & Trudeau hate & #RageFarming alone won't carry him over the finish line!
"If Poilievre insists on continuing to preach in the desert in Quebec, that is where he will find himself on election night."
Running a scorched earth leadership campaign against QC's former Premier didn't endear him to Quebec citizens either.
"Morneau said the fact that he and Trudeau were focused on different things did generate a healthy tension that led to progress on key issues like climate change and poverty reduction." #cdnpoli#cdnecon
Is anyone really surprised that Pierre Poilievre's fertilizer of choice is Bull Poop?
Good luck #abpoli! You'll *finally* need to accept AB is a landlocked Prov that will be subject to tariffs & responsible for BILLIONS of $s needed to cleanup unremediated abandoned wells & your toxic leaking tailing ponds.
Indigenous lands are not yours either.

"...the assessment of naphthenic acids and other substances on the list would begin in June 2025, a year after the government intends to publish the full list of substances for consultation."
@Swiftie01 🤣 zero respect on the international stage:
winner of Five fossil awards & in 2013 a "lifetime unachievment award" for "obstructionist behavior"
@Swiftie01 PET Legacy vs what exactly was Harper's Legacy? Scandals? Authoritarian control of his caucus? Cutting over 20,000 federal servants with Draconian cuts while hiring 3,325 spin doctors?
@Swiftie01 the cuts were truly Draconian & dismantled social programs built over generations. CPC complains about outsourcing & have yet to look in the mirror. the cuts to housing were brutal.
@LailaGoodridge @CPC_HQ @somerspsych thread by @KmarkovCTV
The toxic drug carnage in AB is Poilievre's & Ms Goodridge's preferred system of care for addicted Canadians yet their toxic drug deaths are way up while BC's are dropping & they want to stop #harmreduction & #SaferSupply? SHAME! threadreaderapp.com/thread/1791570…
@LailaGoodridge @CPC_HQ @somerspsych @KmarkovCTV "Deaths in March 2024 are down 11% from March 2023. That’s the fourth month in a row of year-over-year decreases."
Chong conveniently forgets that many Canadians wanted the Senate abolished b/c of its highly partisan nature.
Despite promising less patronage appointments, Stephen Harper pushed 50+ to the Senate that consisted of many CPC staffers, donors & ex-candidates who lost their riding.
Will it dominate the news cycle like so many of #PierrePoilievre's LIES or phony scandals cooked up Journalists with anonymous sources, or will it be a 1-day article?
#cdnpoli #ForeignInterference
Why are Conservatives allowed to spew such BS without pushback from Journalists? It's not about blanket decriminalizing hard-core drugs. It's the possession of **small** amounts that won't mean an automatic prison sentence for an addict.
