He needed to go harder if he is to succeed in a general election. There is very little time for him to effectively take the fight to Poilievre if the Liberals mean to close a 30 point gap with the CPC. One mention was not enough to break through.

I am real person with goods feeling to my friend Jessie for giving me first good out-loud laugh of 2025.
So he slides into DMs. Now, the person assigned to my “case“ isn’t quite as polished as whoever made the profile. However, he gets all the information right away to me so if I were to check it out, there is indeed a person by that name in the profession, he says he is in.
