PP doesn't even want security clearance to know what foreign threats are currently influencing his party members.... this guy isn't going to help our country.

He will be on his knees as part of the toe sucking human centipede.

  • Received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians
  • Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others’ (in front of his gay parent)
  • Visited and courted far-right extremist groups
  • Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
  • Worked to bring American-style, anti-union laws to Canada
  • Said he’d use the notwithstanding clause, overriding Canadians’ rights
  • Committed to free votes, allowing his MPs to bring forward anti-abortion legislation

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don't want to see him as PM.

Mark Carney is not the only one with that opinion.

From what I have seen said about him, Pierre sounds like the Canadian equivalent of a Republican. If that's true, kneeling or bending over would be the more applicable description of what he would do when facing Trump.

Not just a republican, but also a career politician. PP has never had a real job, gets paid by tax payers and is anti tax…

So yeah, a true republican

Ah the classic fuck you I got mine. I can't believe Canada is going with this asshole after seeing what Trump did

Pierre Poilievre won't even want to stand up to his role model.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

He's been a massive failure during War by US. Not suggesting any additional action, and suggesting any tariff revenue go to oligarch /successful tax cuts instead of relief for Canadians, or industrial sector resilience. We was always a POS though.

I do try to stay off Reddit as much as I can but I do miss his name on at least the Saskatchewan subreddit, PP.
