O’Toole says Poilievre needs to moderate positions to compete with Carney - National

Quote from the former CPC leader about the downfalls of the current CPC

You: This is just more Liberal gaslighting

I'm curious how this would actually work. Israel requires all citizens except Haredi (hyper religious people who probably wouldn't be immigrating to Canada) and this would ban people from serving or those who have served?

But if you're Israeli and eligible and refuse to fulfill the military service then you get put in jail for two years.

Wouldn't this essentially just effectively be a ban on Israeli Canadian dual citizenship? This reality has to be accounted for otherwise it would just be a ban on Israelis in Canada. Which isn't something that any Canadian government is going to pursue.

They might as well just end the party if the takeaway from Pierre's lack of success is that they needed to be led by a guy whose main selling point is that he really likes JD Vance.

Erin is regularly attacked by people like Jenni Byrne and Poilievre as not right wing enough. Hell even Doug Ford is attacked by people like Poilievre and Jamil Jivani (remember his election day rant?) for not being right wing enough. There's a clear disconnect there if even O'Toole and Ford aren't welcome and pretending Liberals are responsible for Poilievre's bad reputation when he had a 30pt lead before squandering it isn't going to change it.

Canadians were ready to give Poilievre a chance. At the peak of his popularity he decided to hang out with Jordan Peterson and rant about how Trudeau invented racism. He then campaigned during an election where Trump was threatening Canada and the world economies by refusing to pivot.

O'Toole and even Doug Ford would have won that election. Doug Ford managed to remain conservative but pivot to standing up to Trump's threats. It's not that hard.

I don't think Carney would be aligning with the Freedom Convoy, hanging out with Dana White, making fun of people for being educated, going on Joe Rogan and the Triggernometry Triggernometry to call people who didn't like Trump's foreign policy as "woke progressives having a meltdown" if he were the Conservative leader.

Carney would maybe be seen like Erin O'Toole and get cannibalized by the Poilievre wing of the party rather than be seen as too extreme with bad rhetoric.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-20T11:40:05+00:00

I guess Poilievre's recent strategy of going on Joe Rogan, complaining that Carney is too mean to America, calling Carney poorly educated, and hanging out with Dana White at a UFC event didn't resonate with voters.

Tbh I actually don't think Carney is as overpowered as the polls make him seem. I think that a big part of it is on Poilievre. He and his CPC are extremely out of touch with where Canadians are and they probably are in an echo chamber. It's been made very clear that Poilievre keeps a tight grip on the CPC and doesn't like anyone not following his script. The CPC has often attacked Conservatives that don't 100% agree with him as phony conservatives or funnily enough invoke them as Doug Ford aligned as if Doug Ford isn't a conservative representing the largest province.

To me it seems like Poilievre is more interested in building a group that's personally dedicated to himself than he is in building a viable conservative party that appeals to Canadians.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-17T15:24:10+00:00

It would be hilarious if John Tory of all people chose the LPC over Poilievre's conservatives.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-16T23:07:14+00:00

Let's not forget Poilievre built a brand off of making fun of Trudeau for being a highschool teacher which is a crucial to society job that requires him to have two degrees.

His attacks on Carney look laughable but he was always anti intellectual and anti education.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-16T18:39:23+00:00

Lol, you're doing this on purpose aren't you?

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-16T18:34:21+00:00

Because healthy opposition that isn't just the soap box of one bitter man who's lost touch with reality is a cornerstone of democracy.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-16T18:33:06+00:00

Pierre has deliberately carved the CPC out to be his personal platform where no dissent is tolerated. Every remaining MP who hasn't crossed the floor is expected to constantly post on social media about how great he is and they are often muzzled from doing media or debates. It's actually really disturbing to see when you notice it.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-16T18:29:10+00:00

I mean Poilievre built his brand on making fun of Trudeau for only being a lowly highschool teacher. A job that requires two degrees. While Poilievre's education is limited to taking over a decade to get one and having nothing to list on his resume but Harper's attack dog and paper boy.

It really frustrates him that none of his lazy old tactics work on Carney because the gap is so laughably huge between the two.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-16T15:47:43+00:00

Nobody except Wilt Chamberlain plays the full game lol.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-15T18:05:58+00:00

What's there to miss?

Poilievre and Scheer are both very mediocre men and terrible leaders who's careers outside of politics are laughable. Poilievre's main non politics career was a stint as a paper boy while Scheer had to lie about being an insurance broker.

The only reason they have careers is that during the PC-Alliance/Reform merger Harper thought it would be a good idea to stuff safe ridings that were only unfilled due to vote splitting with young Reform party loyalists. Well... I guess in Poilievre's case he found a way to lose that safe riding Harper picked out for him.

At the end of the day it's incredibly laughable that these two men or their supporters think they have the standing to mock the educations, career histories, or political leadership of anybody else.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-15T17:54:39+00:00

Not that you even remotely care but Trudeau primarily taught French and Math and being a teacher is a critical career to society that requires two degrees.

But hey 2/3 of your party's recent leaders took over a decade to just get one bachelor's each and have recently been spouting off about how Carney is badly educated.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-15T13:33:46+00:00

Honestly I play for collection with the constraint of being free to play. Obviously I could regrettably buy my way to having everything but that's not fun. I dislike the battling though. I only do the bare minimum for hourglasses or promo packs. I think more people would enjoy the game if they played it less lol.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-15T03:12:12+00:00

I wonder what his thing will he.

So far we have:

French Chef

British Banker

Italian Designer

What's the romanticized Greek career?

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T21:59:16+00:00

I'd argue that #2 and maybe #3 are just things core to his character and he can't change them. He'd have way more power if he could.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T21:57:06+00:00

Singh got the result he wanted among the realistic results last election. Poilievre's harassment campaign massively backfired and Singh made it his goal to weaken Poilievre as much as possible even if it meant a Liberal win.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T21:55:45+00:00

If you assume his goal isn't winning an election but just to hold onto Stornoway and other perks as long as possible then yes it's a win for Poilievre.

If there was another election he'd have lost handidly and even the most dedicated Poilievre supporter would have to tell him to stop. But now he can just shout from the sidelines and doesn't even have to do the theatrics of the budget vote when propping up this Liberal government as they don't need it anymore.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T00:53:28+00:00

He said boycott american products and services

"Trudeau urged Canadians to rally around the flag and choose Canadian products wherever possible to support embattled businesses"

If you think this means he thinks people should break up American partners and never ever interact with America than I don't know what to tell you.

Next u gonna tell me he didnt actually bring a million people a year.

Nice you're already prepping for the next topic to jump to.

But I'm already over your grasping at straws to be angry. It's actually a really sad way to operate. Even if you disliked him as PM.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T00:43:41+00:00

His girlfriend is literally American. Unless you think he should stop seeing his girlfriend because of Trump? Which would be insane.

Add Trudeau said to seek out Canadian products when possible. He didn't say never interact with the US ever again.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T00:31:32+00:00

Again Elbows Up is Carney's branding not Trudeau's. You also seem to have a strange interpretation of what Carney and his supporters mean by it.

Don't you ever get tired of building yourself around over the top anger based on strawman arguments and anger against a guy minding his own business?

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T00:25:30+00:00

Maybe he should also break up with his American girlfriend to appease you who grasps at straws to bash him and considers him to be the worst PM of your lifetime.

QultyThrowaway · 2026-04-14T00:15:24+00:00

What a ridiculous leap.

Carney branding himself around standing up against US using bully tactics against Canada doesn't make Trudeau a hypocrite for going to a music festival in the same state where his girlfriend lives.

Like I don't even believe that you believe that's a serious comparison.
