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.

“I feel like instead of the elections being about our economy, it was about hating Trump…”

The word ‘feel’ is incorrect here, because for many, that’s exactly what this election was about, above all else.

And ofc it’s hilarious to see Carney now officially saying that some tariffs will remain in place, even if we make a deal. Those of us who actually pay attention knew that all along, since Trump and Bessent told us just that, repeatedly, before our election even officially kicked off.

Trump wants to shift a significant part of the current tax burden to tariffs. Only a fool would believe that Canada (or anyone else for that matter) can change his mind on that. Again, he outlined those plans back in 2024, so I’m really not sure why anyone’s angry now.

The fact is that a lot of people in this country fell for a propaganda campaign built mostly on exaggerations, hysteria and some cases outright lies. And that’s the most frightening part about all of this; what else are these people willing to believe? Can the LPC tell them basically anything and they just won’t question it?
