What pisses me off the most about Conservative politics is two-fold:

Their use of simplified three-word demagoguery specifically with the goal of making their base hoot and holler at some perceived enemy, but not actually have any policy to back up what is in truth a very complicated issue. (ie. axe the tax)

And second, their constant banging on about "Corporate handouts" to businesses that they blame the liberals for doing, when everyone (except their cultists) know that they do it ten times more. And yet media never calls them out on it.

Sorry. I know this is all well trodden territory by now. But every time I see that smug puncheable face, he repeats the bullshit behind that idiotic sign.

I have absolutely no love for Poilievre whatsoever, but listen to his answer to the question:

Do you accept [Musk's] endorsement?

He very specifically doesn't say yes at any point. He starts off by saying that going to Mars is the ambition of a toddler. He goes on to say "I hope Tesla opens some factories in Canada so that Canadians can benefit". He calls doubt on the notion that a meeting with Musk is ever even in the realm of possibilities.

For people who hate Poilievre, I challenge you to really listen to what he says here. He's dissing Musk, actually pretty harshly.

that was a weasely answer. Now imagine PP at the helm dealing with full-on US onslaught... will he really stand up for Canada or just for pockets of few Canadians? Any sane politician would distance themselves from Musk, the un-elected human equivalent of genital cancer. While POTUS47 is covered in Teflon and will serve his full term Musk could fall out of grace at any moment making his endorsement rather undesirable for anybody.

Of course Elon Musk is interfering with our politics.

Dude thinks tesla is the biggest automotive manufacturer on the planet. Please don't vote for this goober

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 hours ago

Depends on how you define it. Tesla is worth more then all the other car companies combined. But they sell way less cars. I have no idea why their stock is so high.

Reminds me of the "lighting from the sky" clips. Can't tell if he's trying to praise someone or he's just kinda not very smart.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 8 points 13 hours ago

Not very smart.

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Every and all political endorsements. Each person can decide for themself who they are foing to vote for. The views and opinions of others don't gold as much sway as they wish it would.

Vote your conscience, check off whichever name you decide to pick.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

No you should definitely try to influence people into voting for the right guy. Most everyday tim hortons canadians seem on the fence about things right now.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Sure but they do.
