SpankyMcFarland Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Poilievre is brilliant but he’ll have to soften his edges if he wants to win over centrist voters who would naturally support Charest. The gap between Reform and the PC has never fully been bridged. Harper resented having to govern as a PC which is why I think he supports Poilievre so fervently - it’s a chance for him to rerun history - but his protege will face the same dilemma: purity or power?

Those here who paint our politics in absolutes, and hold personal hatred for politicians like Trudeau are missing the point. Trudeau is a shallow non-entity unworthy of strong emotions. One can, however, develop a considerable dislike for his policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudeau and Ford were not equipped to deal with these things, no one could be. But despite their ideological differences, they were focused on a goal Reelection. The only thing either of them seems to consider important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poilievre doesn't need soft edges. O'Toole had nothing but soft edges. Same with Scheer. You want to get votes from the horde of immigrants in the suburbs and exurbs? Show them a strong man who doesn't back down. They'll respect that. They certainly didn't respect O'Toole or Scheer. They were weaklings who backed down too easily. Of course, it would help if the man had understandable and worthwhile policies. As yet, he doesn't. Hopefully the party will give him some.

Well then, if the Conservatives win that will be them. Their problem has always been hesitation, softness. You want to change what's on the CBC? Not hard if you're paying the bills. Appoint someone to fumigate the place. Make political neutrality and merit the watchwords of the organization. And by neutral I do not mean having a political panel consisting of a strong Liberal, a strong NDPer, and a sort-of but not really conservative who will mostly agree with the first two. Make it a requirement that the parties choose who will represent them at any sort of panel or discussion. Bring in a new oversight commissioner to watch for biased programming and fire whoever approved it. On the other hand, get rid of the CRTC. You talk about bloated organizations that are propaganda arms of the government! That's them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.
