I can speak what I want and I don't see any Trump like rhetoric from Carney on democracy. But a politician speaking and promoting anti vax which has been disproven, you don't see that as an issue?

I have given pretty detailed examples and explanations, all I got were deflections. So at this point I'm done, have a nice day.

Edit also will add Trump WAS also a huge advocate for free speech, look where the US is at right now. If you don't think PP as a far right (albeit less than Trump but for a Canadian) then you are a fool. And look at measles outbreak and tell me you still think being anti vax is fine.

Sorry that's my mistake I shared the wrong link corrected (hate doing stuff on mobile), but my point being just because Carney has conservative policies does not validate PP. And I mean that speech in a vacuum and not looking at rhetoric before is fine. Trump had the EXACT stuff about affordability, tax cuts, etc and look where Trump is now, the whole "affordability is a hoax." He flips on a dime very Trump like and essentially a right populist politician. Not saying Carney is better on affordability and all but with PPs historical comments he is very Trump like.. You cannot ignore it and just act like it never happened.

I mean that's what I'm saying. I don't regret voting Carney over PP and even NDP at the time cause frankly I did not like Jagmeet at all. But Avi is promising and well liberal support is definitely falling due to the more conservative policies. However I still do not consider Carney and PP the same type of conservatism since politics are always a spectrum.

Talking about his anti vax policies

https://x.com/PierrePoilievre/status/1532369916812206080?lang=en

How about his fight against "woke-ism"

I can go on but gas tax cuts or corporate cuts are again traditional CONSERVATIVE policies as I have said Carney is.

But Poilievre is far more right with things that no centered politician be it right or left will touch. There is a reason why you don't hear these type of things anymore now that he's not running and post trump cause that's what got him into hot water. Now acting as if his old statements and policies are no longer valid and that any conservative policies are somehow unique to him. Again there is a reason there were a decent number of floor crossers. And like wise some more liberal MPs that left the liberal party as well.

Edit wrong link

His international ties have been generally good. PP is too trump lite to have done any of that. Carney is a traditional conservative which is why we saw floor crossers and many conservative policies. PP is too far right for most Canadians who generally speaking are centre right/left.

Liberals are proud of it too, emailed my MP so now in their mailing list. Knowingly using the "for the kids" argument. I'm glad the CPC is not in power but man is Carney and his MPs are really brazzen.

Not in that way there were too many too fast without proper home and healthcare consideration post COVID there is some pull back but the damage is done. Sucks for those immigrating and those here as well.

Add Canada to that as well.

I don't see how this holds, Europe already allows chinese vehicles so what are you talking about. We are not forming an alliance and he's said that previously. It's cars and open visas for more trade that benefits farmers in the west but you speak as if we formed a military alliance.

From the perspective of art, explain to me how it can start as good from the get go or a benefit that's not just I can be lazy? It's built on theft of countless artists let alone the overall waste it produces.
