Default Interesting article helping to define Poilievre

This article was written by Stephen Harper's previous communication director. Pretty intelligent article.

I do like PP, but the huge change in popularity, is more of an anti Trudeau/anti woke movement. Canadians are realizing that the irresponsible spending/virtue signaling isn't sustainable, and that if we don't change, we won't be able to afford the basics, such as housing/food/medical programs. Of course the liberals will try and demonize PP, as they do with all opposing leaders, but with inflation and the economy in such a bad state, I don't think that it will work this time. My biggest fear, is that many people will not like the cutbacks that
will be required to return to affordable living, and after a term or two, some will vote for the next version of Trudeau that promises handouts.

Only lieberals are having difficulty defining Peirre because they’re “on their knees” desperately trying to link him in any way, shape, or form to former US President Donald Trump.

To the rest of us rational people, it’s simple: he makes sense. Blackface & misfits, do not.

This. It will be very hard, and painful to repair the damage done!

Even liberals don't like trudy and his wef puppet-masters. The next election is about whether or not we are still a country.

Yesterday there was this article by Steven LeDrew -- long time senior Liberal bag man, promoter.

CANUCK KARDASHIAN
It's time for Trudeau to step down and let someone serious lead

I leave the wonderful hamlet of Buckhorn once a week to spend time in downtown

Toronto filming my interviews, with all sorts of people, to discuss the issues of the day.

I have interviewed Ndpers, and Liberals, but few will now come forward to agree with anything the Canadian government is pushing.

As a former 40-year resident of downtown Toronto, I meet many friends and former neighbours, and we always end up talking politics.

Many harbour a dislike for Pierre Poilievre, but cannot explain why.

When I counter with the facts proving that this Justin Trudeau government is totally incompetent, they are now at the boiling point where they agree.

If an election were to be held now, hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions, of Canadians would not vote Liberal again

— nor should they.

Maybe a few will hold their noses and vote Conservative, and some will sit on their hands and not vote at all.

But for the sake of Canada, I hope that they will do either, and not vote Liberal until Trudeau is tossed and the Liberal party is rebuilt as a responsible political party.

This party can no longer be a vehicle for one person's vainglorious ego, masquerading as a socialist green party, leading Canada down the woke path to an impoverished and insignificant country that was once destined to be a prosperous player.

The Liberal party of the 21st century needs to think of ways to protect freedom in a world where governments are threatening to control not only every action, but every choice that people make.

In a society where institutions, community and history are being diminished daily, the rehabilitated Liberal party must foster the means to prevent this preening bureaucracy from reducing citizens to a flock of sheep — in other words, liberty.

Canadians do not need a government that imposes draconian, outdated dogmatic policies. We do not need ministers telling us that his government is providing us with the “cold, hard cash that we can rely upon.”

Canadians are not a dependent people relying on federal government handouts to every taxpayer, given in an attempt to bribe voters to re-elect it out of gratitude, leaving the country's finances not much better than those of a bankrupt pot pedlar.

We do not need a government dictating that roads for trucks and cars are passe.

It is time that Canadians move on from this Kim Kardashian school of government, in which talent-starved selfie-posers have replaced men and women who can administer, in a serious and responsible manner, the laws and economic policies of our nation.

We all know that Trudeau wants to keep the jets and cavalcades and obsequious aides for as long as possible, but a functioning democracy demands renewal.

Bring on an election!

If he shuts down the CBC that will get him 1.4Billion per year to balancing a budget. But man will you hear the screaming…..especially till their propaganda broadcasts are actually turned off.

If you look at all the woke useless programs, all the handouts to foreign countries, all the wasteful spending, my bet is the budget can be balanced in the first year and with surpluses and enhancements to healthcare, infrastructure and other programs that provide true value vs fund weirdos that slap Chit on a wall and call it art.
