CPC policy hypotheticals: Canadians see a balanced budget, longer jail time as ‘good’; defunding CBC as ‘bad’ -
(angusreid.org)
In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.
There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.
No need to tie him to Trump's nonsense.
Poilievre is much more dangerous than Trump is because Poilievre is a seasoned Politician and not a complete idiot.
If we want people to understand who this guy is we need to explain who he is. Not try and scare people by pointing south of the border. Poilievre has more than enough history to attack without importing other countries politics.
I believe that his own words and actions are what is tying him to trump. He supports all the same causes and spouts all the same rhetoric, shakes all the same hands.... He has created a "base" comprised of racists, white supremacists, fascists, misogynists and assholes. He is supported by rebel media an alt-right organization.... I mean you could search for all of this......
You can keep calling names and trying to draw parallels, but the fact of the matter is Trump is not special. Trump is not doing anything different than Conservatives have been doing for years, and if anything, Trump is stealing from a play book that has been around for longer than either him or Poilievre has been alive.
Poilievre also didn't "create a base" of racists, fascists, misogynists, and assholes. He merely tapped the base, which wasn't hard considering that is what the Conservative party is comprised of, and ran simple platitudes that they would understand as a "platform".
You can as well.
If you stop being so pretentious, and "search" for a real point to make, that would be great too.
