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🤦‍♂️!

“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 …”

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”

theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

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.

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."

nationalobserver.com/2023/01/07/opi…

"...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."

Good article: Pierre Poilievre is wrong about inflation
socialeconomics.substack.com/p/pierre-poili…

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

...Poilievre remains deeply unpopular with women

He's just not ready to become PM:

Poilievre's defence of speaking to a controversial think tank includes decades-old whataboutisms.

#cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/2023/…

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.

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"!

This Poilievre rant is fun. LOLOL!
nationalobserver.com/2023/01/10/opi…

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.

It's one thing to lie about PM Trudeau regularly as Mr Poilievre does to his base, but quite another to accuse the media of lying.

Running a scorched earth campaign against #cdnmedia is not too bright Mr Poilievre.

"Changing your mind and retroactively calling me a liar is dishonest."

Criminal code changes were NOT "... intended to make it easier for violent offenders to get back on the streets...."

The pandemic complicated issues but the Police & Judiciary are responsible for setting conditions after arrest, not PMJT! #cdnpoli

Poilievre wrong on inflation again: cbc.ca/news/politics/…

"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."

Is anyone really surprised that Pierre Poilievre's fertilizer of choice is Bull Poop?

Pierre Poilievre’s claims on bail reform not backed by evidence, experts say
