CdnFox Posted March 14 Author Report Posted March 14 57 minutes ago, Barquentine said: Up 'til now, he hasn't been a politician. I'm assuming he will have a good team for PR and messaging. He's been involved with the party and considering running since 2012. He almost ran instead of Justin Trudeau but they convinced Justin instead. He has absolutely been part of the liberal party and considering becoming not just a politician but the top politician for over a decade. And I would remind you he has already lied and got caught lying about the move of his company to the states, his involvement with a number of boards as a director, and a couple of other things that nobody caught on about and it caught him 100% off guard and he lied and bought the answers. You think the conservatives aren't spending a ton of fortune right now digging through his entire past looking for other examples to throw out. He has not got his game together You have to remember he has never even run once to be an MP. It's literally like a guy who has watched hockey all his life grabbing a stick for the first time and expecting to play as team captain in the NHL and do well Experienced politicians struggle with this. And this guy's handlers aren't able to shelter him entirely that's for sure Quote

Big deal! "GATINEAU, QC, July 20, 2017 /CNW/ - The Commissioner of Canada Elections has entered into a compliance agreement with Mr. Pierre Poilievre for having circumvented the prohibitions on contributions to a registered party by ineligible contributors." In 2010, a police probe was triggered after Poilievre drove through a Parliament Hill screening gate without being permitted entry by the RCMP. Instead, he pressed the entrance button himself and drove his vehicle through. Small things maybe, but I'm sure the Liberals have better research skills than I have. Personally, I wish the PC's had a wise, dignified leader. Jean Charest, Lisa Raitt maybe. PeePee just doesn't make the grade. 2 Quote

He is absolutely been in politics and considering a career in it. He just never ran for MP. But for example he has been advisor to Trudeau for 4 years, he just ran for the leadership and won it and he's still not an MP. He's going to be the Prime Minister without ever having been an MP You don't have to be an MP to be in politics Quote And yes PeePee, having been Harper's attack dog, will be in full character assassination mode. He never held any senior cabinet post and apart from "Axe the tax", defund CBC and end all foreign aid, the usual PC grievances, I haven't heard anything of consequence from him So he's done far more than Carney but carney is fully experienced in your mind and poilievre is not. Like do you even hear yourself? And Carney is the one that came out in full attack mode. He immediately went after Poilievre hardcore Quote Yeah, at that time he hadn't severed ties with a few non-profits. Big deal! Yeah. It is a big deal. It is a very big deal. And an even bigger deal is he lied about it. And in case you're new to politics nonprofits is how corrupt individuals funnel money into the hands of politicians. As I recall Bill Clinton is estimated to make something like 36 million a year from his work with nonprofits. It's non-profit for the organization, it can be a huge amount of profits for the actual directors. Quote "GATINEAU, QC, July 20, 2017 /CNW/ - The Commissioner of Canada Elections has entered into a compliance agreement with Mr. Pierre Poilievre for having circumvented the prohibitions on contributions to a registered party by ineligible contributors." And? That's the equivalent of a parking ticket. Trudeau, who was Carney's boss, did a hell of a lot more than that. Quote In 2010, a police probe was triggered after Poilievre drove through a Parliament Hill screening gate without being permitted entry by the RCMP. Instead, he pressed the entrance button himself and drove his vehicle through. So now you've moved on to jaywalking? Quote Small things maybe, but I'm sure the Liberals have better research skills than I have. Small to the point of Being childish and pedantic. Nobody's even going to blink at that. Lying about moving to your company to the states a few months ago however is kind of a big deal. Lying about being on boards of directors of influential nonprofits it's kind of a big deal. Having three citizenships is kind of a big deal. All of these things are a big deal. And the optics that people see are a huge deal and he is showing you that he hasn't got the skills for it. Quote Personally, I wish the PC's had a wise, dignified leader. Jean Charest, Lisa Raitt maybe. PeePee just doesn't make the grade. He is far wiser than those two. He will win the election with a majority and things will improve. It's that simple. What you really saying is that you wish that the conservatives were the liberals. And we just don't have anyone Corrupt enough to qualify Edited March 14 by CdnFox Quote

That article gave you some insight into brookfield and how it did business, and Carney was the chair....so he knew what was going on, and how they used loopholes to avoid canadian taxes, and cheated the system, good for him , and your a liberal don't expect you to understand why i put that article there , because That's normal behavior for you, Carney is no better than justin, and everyone hated justin, except for a few... he lied , cheated, broke basic political rules of conduct, enriched himself, and his family, along with a good portion of his MP's, the list goes on....apparently you and other did not get enough of the liberal government Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

SpankyMcFarland Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 (edited) Carney’s cabinet is leaner, 24 versus 39, and arguably meaner or at least more right-wing. As Stephen Maher put it: Quote The signal he sends with his cabinet picks is centrist and technocratic, which is what the moment calls for. Quote Carney wisely left Melanie Joly in Foreign Affairs and Bill Blair in National Defence, because there is no time for rookies to learn those vital files. He also put Dominic LeBlanc in international trade, so he can continue to play the lead managing the lunatics in Washington. Quote Carney, who is under huge pressure to chart a new course on fossil fuels and the environment, moved the polarizing Steven Guilbeault out of Environment and replaced him with Terry Duguid, from Winnipeg, who previously worked on a rail line to Churchill, on Hudson Bay, which may take on new importance now that Canada is seeking new export markets. Quote Carney put his friend and former rival Chrystia Freeland in the low key role of Transport, made business-oriented Quebecer François-Philippe Champagne the finance minister and disappointed progressives by leaving out their standard bearer, the talented Karina Gould. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/this-is-the-signal-mark-carney-is-sending-with-his-cabinet-picks/article_952ed974-00f6-11f0-aff4-7f7c7a59cb7b.html Edited March 14 by SpankyMcFarland Quote

Trump isn’t joking about the 51st state stuff. He keeps on assuring us of that. So Poilievre has to radically change his message to prove to Canadians he’s going to stand up to Trump and any MAGA fellow travellers in his own ranks.

At a press conference this morning, PP has said that he is not a MAGA politician. But what PP should be doing is take a page from Trump's book. Trump is going to abolish taxes on tips, abolish taxes on overtime, and no taxes on social security.

SpankyMcFarland Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 For PM I would prefer career politicians or at least people with a long time in politics. Coupled with my ageism, that would mean 40-something candidates for the top job with at least ten years in parliament which doesn’t give much time for a career outside politics. On those criteria, at least, PP would be preferable. Needless to say I’ve left some wiggle room. Trump upends all other considerations. The only question that matters this year: who is best placed to manage this mortal threat to our country? 1 Quote

Sorry to burst your bubble but neither of those two guys is terribly smart. And so far Poilievre hasn't been terribly ruthless. Carney has said far more aggressive and ruthless things about him that he has said about carney. We told you this with regards to Justin. This is not an entry level job and the guy you're looking at doesn't have the substance necessary. Now 10 years later with the economy in shambles with debt having literally doubled and still growing, with an out of control deficit and with our GDP per capita plunging like a rocket being too weak to fight a trade war with America Everyone is realized that Justin is the worst prime minister we ever had. Do not repeat your mistake. It will already take decades to recover from the damage that's been done there may be no recovery by the time Kearney and his crew get finished pillaging the country Quote
