Canada

They don't need a warning. They know he'll go through with it. They want him to go through with it. "Oh that's just talk" is gaslighting designed to convince you to not do anything about it until it's too late. This is a warning to everyone else...get out there and VOTE! Don't let the Conservative party lead us down the path of austerity and cuts like they do every time they are in power.

It's on you, now.

I think you're mistaken.

If the Conservatives win and things get real bad the vast majority will still believe it's better than the Liberals running things another term as it would lead to the literal apocalypse.

The reverse would is also true if the Liberals won. As things get worse people are becoming hyper fixated on the small/short terms things when we need to look at the larger systematic problems.

Not to mention:

Speaking to CityNews on Thursday, Poilievre claimed the pharmacare bill would "ban" private plans "and require you move over to a federal government plan."

"That will make you worse off at higher cost to Canadian taxpayers," he said.

There's no such ban in the pharmacare legislation.

Also, we pay for those insurance plans. They take money out of our paycheques every month to cover premiums. Almost certainly more than most of us pay in taxes to cover federal pharamacare.

The fact that li'l PP pants here can just lie publicly without consequence, and indeed is likely to be rewarded for it, is a crime against us all.

Not just that, but private insurance companies are cutting coverage across the board. We're paying more for mediocrity.

Tying healthcare to employment is stupid and we see it in the US. It sounds good on paper to cheap bigots who think people are freeloading.

Wow, I just realised how huge the amount who aren't is. That's over a third! Tabarnak.

Why don't we have corporations pushing for pharmacare so they don't have to pay for them and reduce cost per employee? It's a competitive advantage for employers if done right.

24.6m is more than 15m as CBC is impartial it is better for them to list the larger number

This is what frustrates me

Before reading the budget: it's an inflammatory inflationary budget (except mathematically, it isn't)

After the details are out: it's too much spending! Plus they throw in some straight out lies about the pharmacare.

Why the fuck would anyone support this clown? If he was honest I could understand it, if he actually said anything of substance I could understand it. But it's just "that's bad" with no elaboration and clear as day lies.

Wake me up when Pollievre, the former god damn finance critic, actually says something worth listening to.

Oh and fuck the press for even airing the clips of Pollievre lying. They should be censured for that. Even CBC is just clips of Pierre so they look balanced.

Right? He can just smugly munch on an apple while thinking of low-iq rhetorical questions to interject with, and that's the entirety of his politics. That's all it takes to become champion of the reactionaries.

It's not about being Conservative, it's about being the Official Opposition. The Liberals did the same thing when the Conservatives were in power and they'll do the same thing when the Conservatives are in power again.

It's gamesmanship is what it is: why offer up ideas that your opponent will then proceed to attempt to take full credit for (and many will fall for it)? This is part of the NDP's big failing: lots of people will ignore that they were the reason any of the good stuff got passed (the other major failings are the fact that what they did get passed is extremely watered down and that although they keep calling out the Liberals on bad policy/failings the continue to support them; they look like massive hypocrites)
