blackbird Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 "Trump only respects leaders who show toughness and can stand up to his bullying. He has little respect for Trudeau, and is unlikely to see either Mark Carney or Chrystia Freeland in a positive light. Some people have criticized Pierre Poilievre as being too much of a bulldog, but isn’t that exactly the quality we need in a leader who has to vigorously fight to defend the threat to our sovereignty and our values?" Harry Rakowski: Poilievre is the bulldog Canada needs to fight Trump Yes, I think PP is just the right man at the right time for Canada. 1 1 Quote
ExFlyer Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 PP is the only alternative we have. I am not sure he is the one to deal with Trump as he is also saying anti Trump things and unfortunately, Trump is always listening. Quote Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.

Except he's only ever used these qualities against fellow Canadians that he views as a threat. Raw ideology is what rules now and the last thing I want is a PM who shares the same vindictive ideology as the black-hearted bastard running the show down south. The people leaders associate themselves with tells me everything I need to know about their qualities and when I see our assumed best friend in the world aligning himself with Putin, I don't want my PM bent on keeping us anywhere near aligned with the dark bleak vision they have for the world. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
herbie Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 If EVER two concepts do not belong in the same sentence, it's Poilievre and 'bulldog like qualities. A four eyed geek or a beady eyed con man are more believable descriptions. Quote

PP believes in Canada and getting it out of the train wreck it is in with the Liberals/NDP. 3 hours ago, eyeball said: when I see our assumed best friend in the world aligning himself with Putin, I don't want my PM bent on keeping us anywhere near aligned with the dark bleak vision they have for the world. Again I repeat PP is nowhere near the Trump or Putin beliefs. PP stands up for Canada and also Ukraine. Kind of hard to understand such warped thinking. You don't seem to understand the basics of what the Conservatives in Canada stand for. Simple Google search would tell you. You would learn so much. Quote

Yet you still somehow believe the Trudeau kind of liberal gang are best. Please do Canadians a big favour and stay out of the election. Quote

CdnFox Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 2 hours ago, Barquentine said: Um...NO! LOL with friends like you and your buddy trudeau, who needs trump? I don't know that we need a bulldog exactly. What we need is someone who can be diplomatic and work around problem children which is basically how trump behaves when he's trying to negotiate but Also someone who can be extremely firm and unbending and isn't afraid to hit back when he should and be utterly resolute. America is bigger than us and Trudeau has left us incredibly vunerable, even more than usual. So simply being a 'bulldog' isn't going to get it done. You need to know how to dance around trump and keep him at length while still knowing exactly where to kick him to do the most pain and damage when he charges in. PP is talented, he'll do fine. It's going to be a little painful no matter who it is but he'll keep things to a minimum and make sure we don't get shafted. 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Trump hates Trudeau, so maybe that makes us vulnerable. And I agree with the last sentence in that paragraph. Quote
TreeBeard Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Trump’s crazy rhetoric has been a huge boost to the Libs. They seem to be closing in on the Cons. Tells me that the Canadian public doesnt necessarily agree that Poilievre is some sort of “bulldog” who can oppose Trump. Quote
myata Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Wouldn't such a "bulldog" need a backbone too? Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

PIK Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Carney is going to be destroyed in the debates. PP will chew him up like a pit bull. PP thinks on his feet, and very quick witted. Carney has a lot of explaining to do. You can put lipstick stick on a pig, but it's still a pig. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Nefarious Banana Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Carney 'the savior of Canada'? . . . . Pfffffftttt Quote

Well I tend to agree there are ways to get him through the debate without suffering too much damage if they're smart about it, but I think he's going to get eaten up in front of the news media every day before he even gets to the debates. Even with a super liberal friendly media he says things and does things which just aren't politically smart. Like saying to people that nobody buys steel so it's okay to tax the steel industry because the consumer won't have to pay it. It's going to be a problem. He avoids the media and that's going to be a problem for a liberal. Nobody knows who he is. And the more they find out the less likely they are to like him And at some point all of these NDP people who are scurrying over to him are going to have to be asked the question "So your solution to income inequality and helping the disadvantaged is to hire an international banker who works as a financial investment advisor for billionaires with no strong ties to Canada To run the show for you. Is that correct?" Right now people are getting kind of excited and worked up because they see something new but during an election campaign a microscope is put on the candidates and I suspect very very strongly that the love bubble will burst very quickly and he has not got the political skills to recover from that. If the election happens now I'm still saying probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 seats. Maybe he'll outperform but I doubt it Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
