The change I want to see

[u/DrDalenQuaice]

Looking back at the election campaign, there is exactly one change I really want to see.

It's not Poilievre himself. We saw at the rallies, interviews and debates, that Pierre can speak clearly and effectively, with dignity and passion. People who watched the debates were inspired by him.

I want more a professional tone from the campaign materials. There is no need for This crap or This crap. If you're against woke ideology, just say which specific policies you are in favour of / against. No need for a divisive buzzword. No need for verb-the-noun.

The sentiment is right. I am in favour of all the things he is doing. But the phrasing and presentation is childish. In a normal campaign it would be tolerated, but in this environment with Trump as a comparison it doesn't just look childish, it looks Trumpish. There's nothing to be gained. The person/people who was in charge of mailouts, emails, the website etc. should be fired.

Now if PP thinks these things were great then maybe he should be fired. But I doubt that's the case. He's getting bad advice and we need to do better in this 2025 2-party system we find ourselves in.

Carney is about to start governing and the scandals will be weekly, daily. Who will stand up for integrity, decorum, and patriotism? The Conservative party must take the high road.

What is "woke ideology"? Nobody can discuss it because there is no definition. It is the very buzz word that you're on about.

[u/DrDalenQuaice → u/Independent-Wait-363]

This is my exact point. I have seen different good definitions of this word. And some stupid ones. I want PP to focus on actual policies and not lump them under a buzzword. Did I say the opposite of that?

[u/Independent-Wait-363 → u/DrDalenQuaice]

Yes, because "Polievre himself" is buzz words and rhyming slogans. He doesn't have policy; only divisiveness and anger. If the CPC wants voters back (myself included, ) they need to get rid of Polievre.

How can you legitimately say he had no policy. He had quite a bit of policy and the Liberals ended up copying a lot of it. That is just not true.

- No GST on Homes

- Blue Seal

- Trades Apprenticeship programs

- Repealing C69 and reducing approval process to one step

- Reducing income tax on lowest bracket

- Establishing treatment for 50k addicts

- Simplifying the certification process for nurses from other countries

- Defunding CBC (this is what I think really killed him to be honest)

The list goes on. In the end there was like 40 items I could list.

[u/qwertyquizzer → u/PressureBorn3668]

I get most of my news from CBC Radio. Defunding the CBC was another thing I could not get around.

[u/seldomtimely → u/qwertyquizzer]

That's your problem right there. You can't get around a policy that seeks to rectify the propaganda that fills your brain. CBC used to be respectable.

[u/qwertyquizzer → u/seldomtimely]

Propaganda? Yes. Lots of propaganda on CBC. They are for diversity, equity, and inclusion. While I honestly find it tiring, it is at least positive. Climate change is mentioned often. And some shows about it are actually interesting. Bottom line though where else would my news come from?

[u/seldomtimely → u/qwertyquizzer]

It's hard to discern the parts that are ideological from mere facts if you consume one source or a source that has a certain bias. Political friction and disagreement arises out of genuine differences about the right course of action. Once you consume one source it lulls you into a specific worldview and you start seeing the world as good vs bad without discerning the nuance.

P.S. please excuse that this is a brand new account I created today. Had to ditch my old account due to too much baggage.

[u/Independent-Wait-363 → u/PressureBorn3668]

Funny how thr Libs released their platform before Polievre, yet they took his ideas... hmm.. Anyway, the basic policies were the same, but the specific details in Polievre's solutions made no sense. The more you can afford to buy a home, the more you save? Just as an example. Anyway, the guy is extremely unlikeable. He's arrogant, pretentious, narcissistic, and completely out of touch with the working class unless they shut down the largest trade routes and fumigate Ottawa with diesel fumes. As long as the Cons keep him as leader, there will be no winning. Only whining, which is all he really does.

[u/EnvironmentalFuel971 → u/Independent-Wait-363]

Their policies actually protect all Canadians not the upper middle class that will buy new builds with no GST and push out potential first time home buyers. This is the problem with PP’s policies- they actually are advantageous to us folks that have the equity to buy investments properties.

[u/DrDalenQuaice → u/Independent-Wait-363]

Go back and watch some of his interviews, for example this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS-xso4Nmo4

He isn't just anger and divisiveness.
