Those who are voting for Mark Carney consider him the best person to run Canada’s government. They respect his abilities.
Those who are voting for Pierre Poilievre share his prejudices. They hate the same people he hates.

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.
Nothing to see here.

Desperation and infighting is increasing at “Team Pierre”
as they know the campaign has been comical and they have no idea how they can pivot their message because Pierre is so inept.
A couple higher ups are expected to quietly exit.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

The fentanyl problem was caused by American legal drug cartel Purdue Pharma. Demonizing Mexico and China for something we caused is really really rich.
Leavitt: Tomorrow, the President will be implementing a 25% tariff on Mexico, a 25% tariff on Canada, a 10% tariff on China for the illegal fentanyl they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country that has killed tens of millions of Americans.

Welp. It looks like Poilievre was caught lying in a huge way. He’s not pro-choice.
If media ignore this, we know they’re completely in bed with him because this goes against everything he and his party tried assuring Canadians about. Complete liars.

This story in Vanity Fair, written by James Pogue in 2022, is a long & important read into what you will see in American politics going forward. Curtis Yarvin, Peter Theil, the Cathedral, etc. It was all spelled out here, in this story. www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04...
