Are Poilievre’s rallies breaking records? Almost
nationalpost.com/opinion/are-p

"Canadian political culture has not traditionally featured all that many mass rallies, in part because it’s often too cold to host them outside and there are limited options for indoor events. To this day, Canada is home to only a handful of indoor venues with seating capacities of more than 20,000."

nationalpostFIRST READING: Are Poilievre’s rallies breaking records? AlmostThe records all belong to the Liberals, who now think big rallies are too "Trump-y"

Just had a #Conservative party canvasser at my door, asking if they could "count on my support".

I said "Not a chance. Poilievre is a piece of shit."

I like getting the opportunity to be brutally honest with people acting in bad faith (which is a fair description of the CPC under PP).

"Well, okay then!" she said in a chipper tone, and turned and hightailed it off my front porch.

Carney and Poilievre struggle to distinguish themselves
nationalpost.com/opinion/carne

"Both men are promising tax cuts. Both pledge fewer inter-provincial trade barriers. Both tout cross-Canada corridors to boost the economy, though Poilievre’s is a straightforward “energy corridor” while Carney’s is a “trade diversification corridor fund” that mentions ports, railroads, airports and highways, but not pipelines. Carney stole Tory plans on carbon taxes and capital gains"

"Canada’s electoral interference watchdog says the Chinese government is behind recent campaigns on China’s largest social media network to influence opinion of Liberal Leader Mark Carney."

It's unlikely that Beijing has any special fondness for #MarkCarney, but the #CCP does think the Liberals are more sympathetic than the Conservatives.

It's useful if you're curious about the messages Mr. Poilievre wants to transmit to the general public, in his own voice.

So far as I know, there is no similar account for the other main party leaders; I'd be happy to share the addresses of such accounts, if they exist. It's a shame no party has an official account on the Fediverse yet.

Lol, six months ago if you were waving a Canadian flag from an overpass or your car you were a a Trump supporter, MAGA, Fuck Trudeau, Pollievre supporting asshole. Now you are waving a Canadian flag from an overpass and I can hope you are just a misguided nationalist. So I guess there's that. Sigh.
