POILIEVRE'S GREATEST HITS

[betsy]

Poilievre's got  his own style.  After so many years in politics - he still managed to maintain his sense of humor.

 

 

Quote

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre tried to belt out a Frank Sinatra classic while questioning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on an upcoming trip.

If politics doesn't work for him, he has a great future in stand-up.

Peirre has an ability to make things a little more fun and still keep them serious in the end.  Justin comes across as fake and staged and dishonest. Cna't even answer the question.

This is why PP is doing well and justin is sinking. His avoiding the question just isn't going to cut it anymore.

The funny part is he thinks i'ts illustrated. He paid extra for that to the ghost writer.

Poilievre has had so many good moments I can't even count them. Things I remember are what he said about the convoy, his farmer commercial on Ag Day, and when he was recently heckled in Yukon. My riding is safe conservative but I'm still so excited to vote and make a change in Ottawa.

Poilievre's under Trudeau's skin!  ?

Yeah  - i just posted that as a topic actually. We'll see if the recent announcements change their fortunes at all but i doubt it.

At some point the CPC has to peak and go up and down a little but honestly i think PP has done a solid job of laying the base.

The paternity of Canadian leaders is something which came to a head with JT, leading to an extremely protracted and tedious discussion. Thus I hesitate to ask the following question: is Poilievre’s biological father known or not? It’s a very minor matter that, obviously, doesn’t reflect on him either way. However, I don’t see why he didn’t clear it up a long time ago one way or the other.

Poilievre was born on June 3, 1979,^[5] in Calgary, Alberta to a 16-year-old mother, who was of Irish Canadian descent on her father's side.^[4][6] Poilievre was adopted by schoolteachers Marlene and Donald Poilievre, who is French Canadian,^[7] shortly after being born.^[4][8] Poilievre was raised in a modest household in suburban Calgary.

 

Doesn't look like the dad was ever in the picture. Single mom, 16 years old, gave him up for adoption. I doubt there'd be anything other than maybe a name on file and maybe not even that.

Does his younger brother have the same father? Is his mother still alive? I saw the picture of him meeting his maternal grandfather before he died. It’s of no great concern either way but one is naturally curious about the man who will probably be the next PM.

Understandable but i think that would be stepping a little bit into the whole 'don't mess with politicians families over much' realm as far as the media is concerned and its not widely reported. I was surprised to see they posted his mother's age at his birth.

Do you mean:

-does he get victim status, or

-is he a bastard?

No. What I mean is that the best way to end speculation is to provide all information available. We’ve long moved beyond blaming people for their parentage.

The best way to end speculation is to just focus on things that are relevant  

He was adopted since birth so his parents will have framed who he is as a person. I hope you're not going down some sort of anti-adoption route here, his adopted father is his father and that should be good enough for eveyrone.   And you're starting to sound like you have NOT moved on from questioning people's parentage at all.
