Just for fun, next time there's a big announcement benefiting Canada, I'm going to draft a Hot Air Pierre response and see how close it get to what he actually says. He's so predictable, it (sorry to be unkind) laughable.

Conservatives would rather roll over than fight for our nation. Voters with the separatist Bloc Quebecois will stand with Canada.
I saw this on my parliamentary trips to Europe and NATO. None of Poilievre's MPs bothered to show up. Bloc MPs came and worked with us to advance a strong Canada agenda.

As someone rightly pointed out on another post, he who has no updated security clearance should not throw stones regarding security risks.

He might want to have a conversation with the Premier of Saskatchewan before mouthing off. But alas...rage-baiting is all he has to offer.

We came to Beijing for Canada to forge a new strategic partnership with China — we’ll be returning with a new trade agreement and billions of dollars in export markets unlocked for Canadian workers.

Interesting, as both Ford and Houston have been touted as being in line for a run at the CPC leadership.

Let’s make Chinese electric vehicles here in 🇨🇦Canada as the feckless 🇺🇸US-owned crummy car companies go hide behind Trump’s tariffs.
Long-term jobs for 🇨🇦Canadian auto workers, and we can tariff Trump trucks the heck out of here.

🔥🔥🔥👍 PM Mark Carney says criminals exploit “irresponsible American gun laws” and weak U.S. border enforcement to move illegal firearms into Canada, saying U.S. platforms have become “seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and hate.” #cdnpoli

In essence, 🇺🇸America has been cowed by a ruthless dictator and his grisly henchmen.
In the main, the resistance is largely ineffective. Ordinary people go about their ordinary lives as if these were ordinary times.
The land of the free and home of the brave is no more (if it ever was).
🤷🏼😒🤷🏼

IMO, making Canada look bad is often the point of misleading media articles which then get amplified when we take them at face value.

Poilievre constantly twists and manipulates to present a false narrative - he needs to be continually called out for this BS 💩!

The poll results tell us all we really need to know about the Conservative Reform Alliance Party. An appropriate acronym : CRAP!

Desperately seeking relevance. While our PM and team are working day and night to secure Canada's future in the face of American imperialism, this unserious person is campaigning to save his cushy lifestyle.

I resent how my tax dollars are used for partisan purposes and sincerely hope we have not funded this campaign rally. Several times a year we get a "mailer" from our CRAP MP crammed full of Reform/Alliance propaganda. I realize all MPs do it but these partisan pieces serve no meaningful purpose.
