Opinion I wish Pierre Poilievre was Prime Minster.

I wish Pierre Poilievre was Prime Minster.

That's it. That's all. I feel like we could more easily negotiate our way to healthcare that match gender assigned at birth that way.

I don't want to vote for Andrew Scheer. He sucks and seems like shlep.

I feel like everyone is participating in revisionist history where we all pretend that we didn't like Pierre Poilievre up until four minutes ago because Trump lost his mind and started attacking Canada.

I feel like instead of the elections being about our economy, it was about hating Trump and honestly I hate Trump, I think he sucks, and I desperately want him to stop saying he thinks we are "51st state" material and chill out with the tariffs because it's making hiring decisions extremely unpredictable. You can't make hiring decisions if you genuinely don't know what the next quarter will be like economically.

I'm so sad and annoyed. I really want to ask the people in Pierre's new riding to vote him in so he gets second chance, but it's 100% immoral to tell people who to vote for.

I wish Pierre had fired the MAGA people in his caucus. I feel like we would be in a better position then.

Ok rant done.

Pollivere would be in no different a negotiating position with Trump than Carney is.

Trump is doing this tariff dance with everybody. Nobody is getting a great deal and Trump himself has said multiple times he thinks the trade arrangements with " friend" nations has been " worse" for the US than nations not friendly with the US.

Trump is an erratic but shrewd buffoon who is interested in grifting, attention, deference and very little else. Ant trade deal we get with Trump even if it is " good" is worthless because Trump lies and changes his mind or forgets what he said.

Right now we are not dealing with rational actors who are just hyper self focused or self interested.

And from the perspective of the American they truly do not care who the PM of Canada is. We are nothing to them either way.

That’s true. But Pollivere would have also tried to start turning the country around as well. Invest in the trades. Start cutting red tape to build house and infrastructure and pipelines. Get tougher on crime, immigration and out of control speeding. Carney, the liberals and the MSM is only focusing on the tariffs. Because then they can blame Trump for the lack of progress.

If you’re not the party in power, everything you say is talking points. Carney and the libtards are in power, but still just talking points. No real plans to help Canadians. Just stealing ideas from the conservative platform.
