Nothing coming out of Poilievre's mouth is worthy of serious consideration.
What a manipulative jackass he is.

His numbers are starting to flatline. I think a lot of Canadians are starting to see that he and the CPC aren't actually offering practical solutions to anything they just like complaining about the Libs. They're asking "ok so what would you do differently?" and their answer is "We're not the Liberals!". uh, ok we get that but wha- "Justin Trudeau is a moron!" uh..
They need an election before the Libs start to empty the promise tank and really toot their horns in the runup.
Especially so when he was awkwardly silent during the rail strike.
You can't come down hard against the rail bosses. They're big donors. They can't come down hard against rail labor; they're trying hard to position themselves as the party of the working dude.
As is usual, governing is hard, and there's no simple black/white easy solution to anything. And when presented with a complex situation, the Cons just go "uh... "
""uh... Have you heard about the evil of LGBTQ??" seems to be how that ends lately.
Mostly T and T-adjacent, to be exactβsome of the other letters seem to have become too mainstream to generate enough hate to be useful to them.
Flatlinng where they are now is a healthy majority.....
I would smile if I heard Singh respond with your first sentence.
Why would he do that? It's a massive loss for him.
He votes non confidence, the NDP don't gain any ground according to current polling, he gets sacked as leader, Pollievre wind a huge majority and the NDP loses any power they have today for possibly 4-8 years.
I can see why Pollievre what's that. Why would Singh want that?
Toxic people often whisper bad decisions in your ear to benefit themselves
He didn't 'ask' Singh to pull out, he goaded him like a schoolyard bully, taunting and calling names.
Singh wasn't the intended audience for the letter, voters were. I'm guessing it was mostly aimed at Poilievre's base, but maybe it was intended to catch some others too.
Definitely an effective way to make a political ally.
However, it's possibly intended to be that way. Now he can tell his base that he asked the NDP to join him and they refused.
Entitled Pierre Poilievre who got his pension already at age 31 wants screw over Jagmeet Singh out of his own when the NDP did so much for canadians.
Dude's never worked an hourly wage job in life. He can go fuck himself.
He will be the next conservative leader to defeated by the wise Canadians.
Hopefully he will quit politics afterwards and everyone in parliament would breath a sigh of relief.
October, eh? Almost as if there's something happening in early November that would hurt his popularity.
Maybe sometime around the 5th.
Iirc the last time there was a PM and POTUS from the same/similar parties was Mulroney and Reagan. And we know how well that turned out.
Honestly it'd be nice to have a Singh/Harris pairing and see where we'd be in 4 years time.
Harris is a good candidate but she needs to be fair and just on Israel and hold them accountable for their crimes.
Which she'll probably do, but not during the lead-up to the election.
The knives will be out for Netanyahu, especially if the Democrats win the house and keep the Senate. He's been a huge liability for them, and there will be a lot of pressure from people who write cheques to Israel to get him out in favour of someone who isn't an embarassment.
Expect Netanyahu to go begging to Putin if Harris wins.
Poillevre needs this to happen soon, because:
- Ontario is likely to re-elect Ford, and Ford's desperate to squeak an election in before the feds do. Ontario almost always elects a separate party provincially and federally, Ford knows Poillevre is a liability for him, and Poillevre know the reverse is true. The difference is that Ford can call an election whenever he wants, while Poillevre has no such influence.
- US politics influences Canada, and Harris' popularity is taking the shine off the protofascist right-wing. Poillevre's seen his largest decline in polling ever last month.
This is a "strike while the iron is hot", and Singh would need to be colossally stupid to fall for it.
