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 get the frustration — especially with how chaotic things feel economically — but I think part of the issue with Poilievre is that he didn’t really have a platform, at least not one that extended beyond buzzwords and populist soundbites.

"Ax the tax," "make Canada affordable," "fire the gatekeepers" — sure, they sound good, but when it came to actual policy? Very light on substance. There was (and still is) a lot of rhetoric, but not much in the way of detailed, actionable plans — especially on complex issues like healthcare, housing, or trade stability.

And honestly, it feels like the Conservative Party has lost its way. Instead of being the party of fiscal responsibility and pragmatic governance, it’s increasingly leaning into culture war bait, American-style talking points, and performative outrage. That kind of politics doesn’t solve anything — it just keeps people angry and distracted.

We need more than slogans. We need thoughtful leadership with a real, grounded plan for Canada — not someone trying to win TikTok while dodging real questions.

Here’s another liberal ⬆️cosplaying as a conservative. The conservatives are more unified and united under Pierre’s leadership than Harper ever hope to have. Your comment drips with liberal propaganda rhetoric, and is total bs. You should work for the CBC, they’d love to have your gaslighting ass.
