It's not about proposed policies.
It's about the "populist" rhetoric.
Of course rhetoric is a valid reason to support / reject a candidate.policy impacts peoples lives

noOf course rhetoric is a valid reason to support / reject a candidate.
People don't vote based on rational analysis of policy. (Even if I think the world would be a better place if more people did.)
The rhetoric a candidate chooses does tell you something about a candidate.
It also works to wrap various policies in a larger vision of what values and approaches will guide their policies going forward.
People are going to take that into consideration when assessing a candidate.
Pollievre, seeing how well a populist rhetoric of grievance was working for Trump and the GOP, chose to style himself in their image.
The Conservatives already had a base that was responding strongly to that and there was good reason to believe many other Canadians would as well.
Unfortunately, this means Trump's failures are bouncing back on Pollievre because he chose to invoke that model of leadership.
I am explaining why the fact Pollievre is compared to Trump and how it is affecting his electoral chances.no
you are just seeking a rational to support what have clearly been failed policy

Your personal obsessions are irrelevant here.
But Justin was a feminist....No one is gonna deal with a prostitution bill unless the courts force them to. There is no political win here. The best you can hope for is not get politically damaged by it.

If he scraps it, the Liberals should reimburse every Canadian that has had to pay more for everything for the past decade...and voters shouldn't give them a pass just because they go against their own ideology now when threatened with losing the election after forcing it upon everyone.Imagine being so daft as to think that Pierre Poilievre has any connection to Trump or the MAGA movement...
Carney is not a battle tested politician, lets see how he handles it when he steps into heavy traffic.
I want to see how he deals with the carbon tax hike on April 1...Will he scrap it?..If he does he's probably going to win.
Does he have the cojones?
All this because Justin's ego wouldn't let him call an election he would lose.They haven't yet and somehow he's our PM. He's not even an elected MP.
You know as well as anyone that the prime minister doesn't have to be an MP and that people don't vote for the prime minister at all in Canada.They haven't yet and somehow he's our PM. He's not even an elected MP.
You said "due to the shit show down south" you are no longer going to vote for him.There are none.
I am not comparing Pierre to Trump at all.
There is no danger of Canada backsliding into the state of America's democracy under Pierre.
As I said I will vote ideologically to do my part in voting against right wing politics (whatever that means in Canada) as the world is trending in a dangerous far right direction.
He failed to prevent it.Carney warned Britain not to leave the EU. And will you repay your carbon tax rebate?
He was doing everything he could to persuade it from happening and failed.WTF does the gov of the bank of England have to do with preventing Brexit? lol. Its a civil service post.
You mean your subjective opinion.It's not about proposed policies.
It's about the "populist" rhetoric.
He was chairman of the board who is responsible to shareholders. I am not worried about that. He was not a political figure in the UK, but he was right. The Brexit was a huge mistake for them.He was doing everything he could to persuade it from happening and failed.
You should be more concerned about him moving his business to the US while fooling you into thinking he's looking out for Canada.
It does not help the Cons that PP framed himself as a Canadian Trump.Prior to Trump taking office and engaging in a trade war with Canada, a Conservative majority Government was anticipated.
I think Trump's BS is starting to tarnish the Federal Conservative brand in Canada; Pierre Poilievre is losing momentum, and it's shifting back to the Federal Liberals. He knows it too.
I would not be surprised if PM Carney goes to the Governor General and calls an election in the Spring; the Liberals might just eke out a fourth term after all. If they do, and it's a majority, PP will be dropped as Party Leader soon after.
