The jarring echo in a recent Pierre Poilievre speech
theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Whether it's plagiarizing speech, inventing fake people like Mustafa, or pretending real crisis like global inflation is on PMJT's spending, Poilievre, is about using props, not real people.
#cdnpoli
One of Poilievre's favorite props to puff himself up is blaming PMJT by #Gaslighting or straight out lying

PMJT is NOT decriminalizing drugs. BC is decriminalizing being in possession of small amounts of drugs. It's been unofficial RCMP policy for years!

Beware Pierre Poilievre and his simplistic solutions

"It’s much easier for him to create false binaries and paint the political landscape in exclusively partisan colours, and he shows no sign of deviating from this well-worn path."

'Irresponsible populist nonsense': Addictions minister calls out Poilievre over drug policy

"Bennett said the Liberal government has spent years building up harm-reduction programs the former Conservative government cut."

Contrary to Poilievre's fake addictions expertise that there's "no safe supply of these drugs” "Supervised consumption sites have reversed 41K overdoses since 2017 without one death.”

The siren song of Pierre Poilievre is about using props. It's not about helping people who need it!

Poilievre, Alberta & opioids:
open.substack.com/pub/paulwells/…

"In other words, he doesn’t have a damned clue what he’s talking about. Or he’s hoping you won’t."

Ending another Poilievre rant from me, Canada isn't broken, Mr Poilievre and his Conservatives are.
My longest Poilievre rant was in January
"If Poilievre insists on continuing to preach in the desert in Quebec, that is where he will find himself on election night."

12 signs of narcissism: fulhamconsulting.com.au/mental-notes/n…

"The world of the narcissist is all about good-bad, superior-inferior, and right-wrong."

Poilievre's Conservatives forced "Trudeau to put his tail beneath his legs"! Public consulations had nothing to do with it.

#cdnpoli
"To maintain the facade of perfection, narcissists always have to blame someone or something else."

Asked if GOV demonstrated "good faith" led to:

"CBC is carrying Trudeau's water again"!

"They can deal with only one perspective at a time—theirs."

Self explanatory
"Some narcissists show their anxiety by talking constantly about the doom that is about to happen...."

["Canada feels broken"]

Narcissists don’t feel much guilt because they think they are always right...."

Only a Poilievre GOV can protect "law-abiding" Canadians who own guns.

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 …”

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”

FACT: Germany cannot import LNG & Canada cannot export LNG.

FACT: While many LNG export projects were proposed, low LNG prices & inability to get financing, meant most were cancelled or postponed.

"As a result, Canada has no operating LNG export infrastructure."

Why Canadian LNG Is Not the Answer for the European Union’s Short-Term Energy Needs

Conservatives must STOP their D.i.s.i.n.f.o.r.m.a.t.i.o.n.

How exactly is PM Trudeau "kneecapping Canada" when Chancellor Olaf Scholz said:
"We have not built terminals for importing liquid natural gas to Germany at our own shores...." cbc.ca/news/politics/…

. @PierrePoilievre A PM may need to make life & death decisions in a pandemic. If you rely on hacks rather than experts, you're not ready!

Claiming gossip is news is not Rupa's 1st rodeo.

FALSE: Court Documents Reveal Canada’s Travel Ban Had No Scientific Basis
#cdnpoli #cpcldr Image
FALSE: Jennifer Little led a "secretive Gov panel that "crafted the mandate."

Little implements Canada's policies with the help of her team & its not secret. Moreover contrary to Rupa's claim, Little is on the web!!

Rupa's #FakeNews: commonsense.news/p/court-docume… ImageImage
Nobody on Little's team has "formal education in epidemiology, medicine or public health" b/c they implement policies that would have been decided by Cabinet *after consulting with health experts*!!

Great thread.

#cdnmedia also contributed to polarizing our society & also needs attention. Eg, the obsession with Clinton's emails led to the rise of Trump. Similarly, wrongful WE coverage led to the dissolution of a valuable Charity. Ironically, NDP & CPC did its part. #cdnpoli

PP is acting like a frat boy trying to gain entrance to an elite fraternity he's not sufficiently qualified to join, especially given he has no clear platform, policies, or a vision for the future of Canada other than to fire his intellectual superior at the BOC!

"Pierre Poilievre’s performance in the first two Conservative leadership debates is a strong argument against his suitability for the job of prime minister."
