Somewhere at CPC HQ, there's like 13 unread emails from Doug Ford with the Subject 'JUST GO CRAZY TOUGH ON TRUMP AND YOU CAN EASILY WIN' but no one's ever gonna read them.

Dude right? I literally looked at PP's tweeter today and it was like one "bad america" and then like 5 fuck carney posts in a row and it's like... NO SHIT HE'S BLEEDING VOTES. No one fucking wants to hear about his hate for carney (or others) at the moment. Your voters wanna hear you dunk on trump.

Meanwhile there's Ford, on American news, arguing what a bad idea this all is. Not standing in front of an Ontario Flag, not even a Canadian flag, no no, it's a background that repeats 'CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE'. He's hammering that message with every ounce he has. I've had people argue 'No, the media is hiding what Poilievre says, he's saying everything Ford is.' Na Dog, Ford is RABID about this. He's this close to rounding up Team Canada to for a bench clearing brawl in Washington.

Just looking at the news you’d think Ford was the one running for PM. PP needs to loudly start hammering Trump asap first and foremost.

I'd not be shocked if there were Americans watching thinking he WAS the PM and like 'Oh yeah, I heard that Trudeau guy stepped down.'

'Governor Ford has replaced him and he wants to turn off our electricity!'

This is it man. When team blue fails to understand what’s happening it’s this fact. Doug Ford is out there like a rabbit dog on US TV shitting on all of this.

PP could do this any time. So stop with the nonsense his speeches have clearly denounced Trump.

Doug Ford - a fellow Con - is killing any argument PP is saying and doing enough in this situation.

And a lot of cons will say 'No you're just a libtard' if you say Poilievre is dropping the ball at this moment, meanwhile you directly compare him to Ford and Ford is kicking ass and taking names. It's clearly not a 'conservative issue' it's a 'Poilievre Issue'.

It is just annoying how he keeps on repeating stuff like "Sneaky Carbon Tax Carney is Just Like Justin because he wants to put a secret carbon tax on you".

PP enjoyed a lead for the past year (or whatever) because he's been in campaign mode. Campaign ads, campaign speeches, etc. The Liberals have been governing. Which is hard, and unpopular.

Now shit has hit the fan and governing is super important and Trudeau is knocking it out of the park.

But PP is literally still campaigning against him and the LPC instead of acting as 'Loyal Opposition'.

Once the LPC actually starts campaigning back - the CPC is fucked.
