policy impacts peoples lives
rhetoric is not a valid reason to support / reject a candidate
Of 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.
the worst Prime Minister in Canadas history.
A dim witted ,fake, divisive and corrupt fool
I am still unsure what Canada did to deserve the nightmare that has been Justin Trudeau
I am explaining why the fact Pollievre is compared to Trump and how it is affecting his electoral chances.
Your personal obsessions are irrelevant here.
i am explaining why you are trying to link Poilievre to Trump
you are just seeking a rational to support what have clearly been failed policy
Your personal obsessions are irrelevant here.
I'm not trying to link Pollievre to Trump.
He is linked to Trump for much of the public, despite the small overlap in specific policy proposals.
I haven't said a thing about what policies I do or do not support.
I haven't even said whether I think Carney is a good choice.
[flailing neocon, in nasal whine] How can you link Trump to Poilievre!

This has stopped being about tweaks to tax and crime policies, and started being about sovereignty. There's only one guy in the race who can't get security clearance.

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.
All this because Justin's ego wouldn't let him call an election he would lose.
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.
Don't pretend to be shocked.
You said "due to the shit show down south" you are no longer going to vote for him.
What does Poilievre have to do with that exactly?
He failed to prevent it.
You think the amount of the rebates comes anywhere close to how much more the carbon tax has forced us to pay? Now I see why it fooled so many people after statements like that.
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.
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.
It does not help the Cons that PP framed himself as a Canadian Trump.
