  3. Carney’s changing tactics against Trump get the benefit of the doubt from most Canadians at the moment because they understand our country is under grave threat from without. It’s not easy when a powerful friend suddenly turns against you. If the Tories were in charge we would have the same response to rally round the flag and trust the government to do the best it can. I really don’t think now is the time for Poilievre to go hyper-partisan. He needs to be seen to be playing with the team. There are ways to look good in opposition during a national crisis but he seems to lack the subtlety and versatility to play those roles.

  6. G.M. to Stop Making Electric Vans in Canada Amid Trump Tariffs - The New York Times Our car industry is going to be gone in no time at this rate, between companies dropping unpopular electric models and others shifting production elsewhere, the industry is going to be a fragment, and that's going to make life very tough in ontario. Carney doesn't seem to have a plan for the death of the car industry.

  7. I’m a former senior aide to Stephen Harper. Pierre Poilievre is dismantling the principled, trustworthy Conservative Party we tried to build By Dimitri Soudas Contributor Dimitri Soudas is a political analyst for Radio-Canada. He was a director of communications and senior advisor under Stephen Harper and later executive director of the Conservative Party of Canada. The Conservative Party that was shaped by the nation-building of Sir John A. Macdonald, the moral conviction of John Diefenbaker, the bold ambition of Brian Mulroney, and the steady discipline of Stephen Harper is far greater than any one man. It is a party rooted in history, principle, and purpose, a party built to serve the country, not the ego of a single leader. No individual, no matter how loud or popular, has the right to rewrite that legacy or distort it into something it was never meant to be. Leader Pierre Poilievre is dismantling the principled, serious and credible Conservative Party Harper worked so hard to lead and bring to power, one of substance, maturity and integrity. As a senior aide to Prime Minister Harper, I had the privilege to witness first-hand his leadership style: serious, principled, steady and deeply committed to the country’s long-term interests. He was the embodiment of what Canadians should expect from a national leader, governing with discipline, competence and a profound respect for Canada’s institutions. He brought credibility to the Conservative movement, not through theatrics, but through thoughtful policy-making, fiscal prudence, and strategic vision. He was never swayed by short-term headlines or the chaos of the news cycle. Instead, he focused on results: balanced budgets, trade expansion, national security, and pragmatic federalism. Harper spoke less, but when he did, it mattered. He built a unified party that reflected the broad spectrum of conservative values, from fiscal responsibility to national unity, without sacrificing seriousness or integrity. In an era of rising populism and political noise, Harper remains a reminder of what real leadership looks like: thoughtful, focused, principled, and unwavering in service to the country. Harper was able to unite fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, progressive conservatives, libertarian conservatives, Red Tories and Blue Tories into a serious, policy-driven coalition grounded in discipline, pragmatism and national interest, a legacy now being unravelled by Poilievre’s politics of spectacle and division. This week, Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of committing what he described as the worst possible offence for a head of government, violating the Criminal Code and escaping justice. He claimed that Trudeau’s free vacation from the Aga Khan was a clear-cut criminal breach and that the RCMP deliberately chose not to lay charges. Poilievre went further, declaring that Trudeau should have been criminally charged and sent to jail. He went as far as accusing the RCMP leadership of being “despicable” and actively shielding the Liberal government from prosecution. In a rule-of-law democracy, no opposition leader should ever call for a prime minister or any political rival to be jailed. It undermines confidence in our justice system, our federal police and ultimately the Crown. That kind of rhetoric isn’t strength, it’s recklessness and it shows a leadership approach that remains rooted in grievance rather than governance. Months after losing the federal election, Poilievre seems not to have learned the lessons of his electoral defeat. For all the fiery slogans and viral clips, Canadians saw through the performance. What they needed was a prime minister-in-waiting. What they got was a man addicted to opposition, stuck in partisan combat, incapable of transformation and unwilling to rise above the instincts that had always held him back. Voters wanted maturity, reassurance and vision. He gave them grievance. He ran as the angry Question Period debater, not the steady hand of a G7 nation. The result? Swing voters waited for growth that never came. His message was reduced to punchlines. “Carbon Tax Carney” and “Sneaky Mark Carney” may have earned social media points, but it insulted the intelligence of voters craving real dialogue on housing, inflation, crime, immigration, climate and affordability. As Carney put forward a detailed, albeit debatable, vision, Poilievre delivered slogans and sneers. Canadians rightly asked: if this is how he acts in opposition, how would he behave in power? Worst of all, Poilievre failed to build a team. A party rich with talent was never showcased. No foreign affairs lead. No visible finance minister. No credible plans for trade, immigration, or defence. It was a one-man show and when the curtain rose, there was no cast, just more spotlight on him. The most baffling part? Trudeau’s record was wide open. Canadians were ready to hear a compelling case. But Poilievre couldn’t deliver one. He had the opportunity to prosecute a decade of Liberal failures, and instead leaned on hyperbole, exaggeration and recycled sound bites. The contrast never sharpened. The plan never appeared. He delivered none of it. His latest comments show once again he has failed to make the leap from critic to leader. Canadians are tired of the anger. The mockery. The volume. They need calm, confidence, and answers. Yet, despite warnings from advisers, polls, and “common sense,” he is still giving them attacks, blame and fury. In the last election, Canadians didn’t reject conservative ideas. They rejected Pierre Poilievre. Months later, there’s little evidence he has reflected, adapted, or grown. If anything, he seems more committed than ever to the very approach that cost him credibility with the voters he most needed to win. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/im-a-former-senior-aide-to-stephen-harper-pierre-poilievre-is-dismantling-the-principled-trustworthy/article_7a2f717f-2e67-4e70-aa5b-5153c0cb980b.html

  13. 1. Because that's what he's doing. Not very presidential to say the least... 2. If you're good with him using the position to profit and screw you down along the way with inflation from tariffs that's your call. A couple reads for you; https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/16/headlines/nyt_uae_chips_deal_linked_to_2b_investment_in_trump_family_cryptocurrency_firm. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/08/18/the-number 3. So you don't disagree... 4. There are lots of facts that say the 'violence' that Trump say's is happening is not. Google it... 5. So you agree it's not a democracy when a president ignores the rule of law. 6. What are you talking about 'rebounding'... Where were you the past 2 years? 7. Take your time, but not hard to find. 8. The president is a traitor and only in it for himself. 9. Yes, you're a dumbass Face it... the guy is a narcissistic huckster who only cares about himself. You Maga's are useless to him now... step aside.

  24. Trump is a cult leader. Like, literally. He loves the attention, the fawning. Unless you're Elon Musk, 100% of Trump fans have below-average intelligence because an intelligent person wouldn't fall for his BS or support his methods. The amount of people who think the 2020 election was stolen from Trump with zero evidence other than Trump saying so is embarrassing. They were conned by a snake-oil salesman and don't even realize it. He's a dictator who won't admit defeat when he loses, tries to overturn democratic elections, punishes anyone who criticizes him, demands unquestioned compliance, and tries to find any means he can get away with to not follow the law in order to get his own way. He's a man-child. It's ok to support the issues he wants fixing, it's not ok to support the methods he's using. He was definitely elected based on the former, not the latter. In fact, he lost the election in 2020 because of the latter. If he wasn't such a POS he might have gone down as one of the greatest POTUS in history. He's Icarus to an extreme extent.

  32. It's really been illustrative of the bias of the mainstream media to watch them enthusiastically embrace his 'Elbows up!' talk during the election, then instantly turn around and congratulate and flatter him for his 'We love Trump!' attitude the instant he was elected. They went from "Carney is going to take on that stinking, horrible Trump! He won't let us get pushed around! He'll show that evil creature who the boss is! He'll stand up for Canada!" to "What a brilliant man to realize the need to flatter and submit to Trump! There's no way we can possibly stand up to the Americans on trade." And the sheeple of the Left have gone right along with them. Carney helped incite a whole new level of anti-Americanism during his election campaign, then went down south, kissed the ring, and told Trump on numerous occasions what a wise and brilliant man he was. And the liberal left just accepts it! I'd love to be in an alternate world where Poilevre got elected, took the exact same position with the exact same words after the election, and see you guys fume and fulminate and shake your angry little fists at him for being a suckholing surrender monkey. Because I have absolutely NO doubt that would be your attitude.

  33. As I've pointed out before, all Trump does is address longstanding grievances the political class has studiously ignored. That's the only reason he's in power. Because the political class ignores the will of the people for only so long before the people say "F you all!" and bring in the populist. Same thing is happening in the UK now. DEI, as much as you adore official racism, has pissed off a lot of people for a long time. And it's been getting worse, more blatant. There are ads pointed out every day, mostly for public sector jobs, which are quite clearly racist in nature and would horrify the likes of you if the wording were reversed to demand only white people apply, or make it clear that 'no blacks wanted'. The way the Left, which is always claiming to be 'for the people,' continues to be utterly baffled by human behaviour is a fascinating thing. It's been quite clear for a century now. The whole Communist/Marxist/Socialist belief systems are predicated on ignorance of human behaviour. He answered a question about the SNC Lavalin affair, agreed it was a fake investigation, and said Trudeau ought to have gone to jail for that (which is certainly arguable). It wasn't a vow to 'get him' if he's elected, simply because he doesn't like him.

  34. You're acting like this was an official speech or release from the office of the leader of the opposition. He was doing an interview. The interviewer asked about it the SNC Lavalin scandal, and he responded. To paraphrase, "Yeah, that was a fake investigation. They didn't even interview him. The RCMP covered for him. The guy ought to be in jail for interfering in a prosecution like that (which is, in fact, illegal).

  35. Show me the polls that say any province is leaving. And then look at those numbers and try to figure how many would actually vote to separate if it came to a referendum. Once they think about actually doing it, they'll realize what a dumb mistake it would be and vote to stay. Look up the definition of rampant then prove it with statistics. If crime's that bad in your neighbourhood I'll call in the military for you. They can patrol your street and pick up your garbage for you. And this way you won't get raped every time you leave your house. You are the archetype of Maple Maga. Talking points straight from Trump's ass. He's right. Canadians get along (except for you and your ilk).

  41. Soudas is spot on... Poilievre's entire schtick is anger and soundbites with little substance. That works for those who enjoy anger and divisiveness but doesn't play well with the majority of Canadian's who have seen enough of this in US politics and don't want/need it here. I'm not even remotely close to a Trudeau fan but find it comical the amount of space that Trudeau continues to occupy in this guys and his supporters heads. He has nothing else so might as well be angry about the last 10 years of Trudeau and find fault when and where he can with Carney to create those soundbites he believes keep him somewhat relevant. For a career politician you'd think his instincts would be better... His political career has plateaued. He's simply not likeable as the election and every single poll show, and is most certainly not a person the majority of Canadian's want or will likely ever want as the face of the country.

  42. Quebec came close to winning their second secession referendum in 1990. Had they won they most likely would have remained with a 'special' status, something like they have today as a 'distinct society'. (Want to see a distinct society in Canada go to Nfld.) Had they achieved secession it would have been worse than Brexit for them and they would have applied for re-entry. They recognise this now and there is very little appetite for leaving. Same is true in Alberta. At the time, had Quebec seceded I thought the Maritimes' best bet would have been the 51st. But that was when the US was a normal democracy. Now 51st is the last thing we would want.
