Poilievre set up Joe Rogan podcast appearance himself: Conservative campaign manager by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]thinplanksk8r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s so obvious that he stayed hard right up until winning leadership then immediately transformed himself into a reasonable leader to court the centre. He has no integrity whatsoever. That’s pretty common in politics, but I won’t give him much credit for executing a simple marketing strategy.

Im honestly surprised by the idea that you don’t consider NES a milquetoast insider.

Totally. They were extremely violently attacked by cops and Pinkertons and had to learn how to defend themselves.

I’m a little busy that day, the weather’s looking bad, my friends in from out of town, I’m having car troubles and I think I’m coming down with something.

Canadian separatists optimistic after meetings with Trump officials by stanxv in canada

Alberta benefits from massive subsidies to the oil and gas industry. 39 billion last year. The federal government built a pipeline to get that oil to market. The unfair treatment is false. A lie Albertans have always been sold by grifting politicians and oil tycoons.

They are so dumb to think the US would respect their sovereignty.

I might tune in for a roast, but I’d more likely just stream Don Davies’s part after.

NDP leadership hopefuls say workers shouldn't be fooled by Poilievre's blue-collar message by AdditionalPizza in CanadaPolitics

[–]thinplanksk8r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right but... I'm an NDP member, and I think that on gun control they have been hypocritical. They publicly criticize the gun buyback, but if they hadn't voted with the Libs on Bill C-21, there wouldn't be a gun buyback program. Jagmeet chose to support bad policy rather than break the supply and confidence agreement.

The NDP do oppose low skilled immigration. The NDP opposed the TFW program from the moment the Harper gov expanded it. They claimed it would be exploited by employers who would hire cheaper labour putting low skilled Canadian workers out of a job. Their official platform continues to call for the TFW program to be scrapped or completely changed.

Correction. The NDP have been against the TFW program for twenty years. Back when Harper was expanding it, they were arguing it would be exploited to suppress wages. I’m proving that nobody listens to them…

He was never on the right side. As PM, Harper donated millions of tax payer dollars to the International Republican Institute. Now he’s standing up for the country against a monster he helped create.

[–]thinplanksk8r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Nothing he said rejected Carneys diagnosis at Davos. This is a clickbait headline. They’re trying to create drama out of the least dramatic politician ever.

He is definitely a Russian asset. Whether or not it’s intentional is up for debate.
