Oh, I think Pollievre is smart on foreign policy and about politics.
I'm just not a fan of his.
Say what you want about the man, he's not dumb.
you will have two realistic choices for leader when you vote
Poilievre who you have just admitted is not dumb
or
Justin who is a proven fool
which do you choose?
now you could choose not to vote for anyone , which is your right
however if you do not exercise your extremely valuable right to participate in the democratic process , you pretty much forfeit (in my opinion) the right to criticize the outcome & you do like to critique
another option is you could vote for the BLOC but they wont be running a candidate in your riding
you could also vote for the green party, if you feel compelled to waste your vote , while still participating
you could also vote for a different fringe party (including the communist party of Canada) , if you feel compelled to waste your vote , while still participating
or (and this is a likely path for you) you could vote for Deadmeat Singh who is almost as reprehensible as Justin. Singh is quite dumb and very dishonest
Being almost as reprehensible as Justin Trudeau is a tall order
why your lot punted Tom Mulcair is a bewilderment
an NDP federal govt under Deadmeat Singh would put the survival of Canada as a country at risk.
So practically speaking, if you wish to influence policy going forward , you really have only two choices
And the only one who is not dumb as a bag of hammers is Poilievre
which do you choose?
