Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Pierre reminds me of Bugs Bunny chewing on an apple with a smirk on his face as he makes the reporter look like a complete bigoted twit.
An apple a day keeps the spin doctors away.
Man that guy was trying way too hard to fit every Liberal Party talking point into his questions. Are Canadian reporters really expecting Poilievre to reinforce the media’s anti-conservative biases? Poilievre basically controlled the entire interview and became the one asking pertinent and revealing questions. Obviously the guy was not a professional reporter. An official parliamentary reporter from the legacy media would have thrown a huge temper tantrum and stormed off in a snit. This man looked embarrassed and confused because he’s never been challenged on or really thought about the ridiculous talking points he hears on Canadian TV, radio and print media. A rude awakening to a different point of view.
The twit Reporter speaks in meaningless leftist platitudes … and Pierre quickly and efficiently demanded he define his terms. Brilliant! Stuff their loaded questions right back in their maws!!
Bugs chewed on carrots. But, that aside, it’s having the same effect.
I will not hold my breath.
Correct, never trust, or turn your back on, any politician. No natter how much he aligns with you.
The incoherence of the journalist class is not what is portrayed in movies.
Yeah, saw the clip yesterday. It’s quite telling about the garbage character of those in the media. Every “question” was not actually a question, was just typical cookie-cutter talking points from the Left. It’s very good that PP has good reflexes and cut the scumbag off every time.
Heard this morning at 1010AM John Moore panel discussion, another example of how spineless and worms are these guys: they were discussing CBC’s internal directive to name Hamas thugs, ‘militants’ not ‘terrorists’. And the conclusion in the end was: oh well, that’s the standard of AP. No one mentioned that this ‘standard’ actually hides a truth under the rug. Young gullible these days bleat about free Palestine etc because decades and decades all the worms in the media churned garbage and obfuscated truth.
Questions that are statements and stupid incoherent ones at that followed by “ya know” after which all the NPC voters nod or bark.
“spineless and worms” is exactly right. The pushback from this internal directive by the CBC you mentioned has prompted a response from the Ceebs Editor in Chief of Programs and Standards. This apparatchik suffers from cognitive dissonance, when describing why the CBC won’t call Hamas atrocities terrorism.
Quoting his explanation “Terrorism generally implies attacks against unarmed civilians for political, religious or some other ideological reason. But it’s a highly controversial term that can leave journalists taking sides in a conflict.” DUH
I suggest the controversial bit that leaves the CBC journalists trembling , is the genocidal terrorist acts committed by Hamas is shattering the worldview narrative of Israel bad, Palestinians good’ pushed by the left and reinforced by their own personal anti-semitic views.
Why does the left hate jews?
John Moore is an idiot, why tune him in?
PP takes questions from media he knows to be hostile.
JT refuses to take any questions from Rebel, True North, Blacklocks, etc.
One advantage PP has – when you have brain dead opponents, you know ahead of time what their “questions” (accusations, talking points) will be, so you can think through responses ahead of time.
But I still love seeing the media – the real enemies of Canada in any election – trashed and shown to be fools.
Agreed. But it’s more than that. Justatwit is so unpopular now that he never meets ordinary Canadians in public. He was swarmed by hostile Canadians at his public appearance in July in Belleville. Hence the Coward in the Cottage does what he does best – hiding under the bed.
PP has another advantage. Because of his family situation, none of these socialist slime dare to use anything resembling race-baiting against him. Which constrasts strongly with Justatwit whose spouse has thrown him over a couple of years ago.
Had dinner on the weekend at my son’s house with the grandkids & their spouses. Talk devolved into politics wherein my son exclaimed “I’ll never vote for Poilievre”. Since he doesn’t live in his riding, unless he moves, he’s not voting for Poilievre any way. BTW, his MP is a Conservative & he’s perfectly happy with the guy. When I asked why not, he stuttered & stammered but couldn’t come up with an answer, then tried to deflect back on me that I must agree with all Poilievre’s policies, old & new. Reminds me of chatting with a family group & their friends back before Trump was elected. They were loudly denouncing him as *******, etc., the usual CBC talking points. When I said I thought he was going to win, listen to his message & try to understand why he appeals to Joe Average, I was immediately rounded on as a MAGA supporter, etc.
You have to be cynical or others will be for your voice for you even when you’ve not given them permission.
As per, your class as doing something that you really haven’t done.
“ya know”
So who was the “reporter” spewing trudeau propaganda points at Pierre?
My first thought when seeing the vid was that it was an orchestrated spoof.
With all credit due PP, I have a rock in my backyard that could destroy most Prog urinalist talking points…
People wonder why Liberals always revert to “You racist”!
Would you want to run on their actual program which consists of “I’m going to take money,lots and lots of it, from those who make it, and give it to those who don’t”?
Librano fees included of course.
Never see the Media use the term left wing unless they are attacking the right wing, which is a term that finds the headlines regularly.
And Librano is as foreign as balanced budgets.
Oh well, one suspects that when the Liberals finally drop their democratic veil and publicly reveal their Chinese Communist bona fides, the Media may finally realize their Red Guard running dog mistakes.
“In 1966 Mao Zedong, the Communist leader of China, started a political campaign that became known as the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Mao called on China’s youth to help him purge capitalist influences and bourgeois thinking in government, teaching, the media and arts, and to reinvigorate the revolutionary spirit.
Calling themselves The Red Guards, radical students set out to destroy the “four olds”: old ideas, customs, habits and culture. They spearheaded the interrogation, humiliation and beatings of teachers and intellectuals, and traveled the country destroying cultural heritage.”
Yup. Treat them with all the considerable contempt they deserve.
Lib Twitter says It wasn’t an unprepared reporter it was the guy who owns the orchard and he is just a run of the mill dim witted Liberal voter. Easy pickin’s for Pierre. They are all up in arms about what a meanie and bully PP was to “that poor man”. LOL
RNrn
If in fact he was “just” the orchard owner, then he was effin well asking questions from a prepared MSM script.
He’s a castanet “reporter”. For those not in BC castanet is a far left wing “local” publication in the Okanagan Valley. So yes he was outmatched because he’s used to “reporting” on cats in trees and apple thefts from farm stands.
OK. That makes sense for what I was seeing, james.
The orchard owner/Castanet reporter was definitely reading prepared narrative reinforcing
statements“questions” from the script he was holding. I suppose Castanet higher-ups gave him the script. “Here. ask these questions** and watch PP squirm.”This did not turn out well for the orchard owner/reporter. It was a glorious thing to watch.
**The low IQ jurinalists ,who couldn’t hack the rigors of a basket weaving degree*** and so had to default to jurinalism (Swedish pronunciation), actually think their sloganeering/narrative communist manifesto readings are questions. That is, the “questions” that aren’t of the form “Since we’ve already decided you kick puppies and are a wifebeater, it’s a waste of time to ask if you’ve stopped beating your wife or kicking puppies. So why are you such a racist?”
***And forget about math. They couldn’t calculate change due from a nickel for a 3-cent item. Hmmmm… they also would probably get the answer wrong if the question was, “If an item costs 5-cents, how much change is due from a nickel? (Show your work.)”
Gawd these are such cowards. “people say” No, you say, you just haven’t got the balls to do it.
The sad thing is that reporter is there to inform Canadians. Imagine what he writes?
Debates with Trudeau will be epic. Poilievre is a master.
LOL talk about getting your arse handed to alst the while he’s eating the apple. I enjoyed that video.
Castanet, it’s Kelowna, while there are a few conservative views, it’s close enough to Lower Main La La Land, you get the spill over. Lots of people from Vancouver live there, vs. Albertans that do too. Local politics and their politicians are a joke.
Nice place to grow up in the 70’s to Early 90’s,
Couldn’t get me to back, now..
You could have the best conservative politician in the world, here in Canada, it would still be a battle against a dumbed down, media fed, ignorant populous..
Was that a spartan apple?
It sounded like an spartan apple to me…
This. Is, SPARTAN!
They’re up in arms because the alleged journalist was so stupid and he well looked the part.
They’re mad at PP because he exposed their ignorance.
Wah wah.
The last couple of Conservative leaders would have very likely been sucked into that reporter’s trap and admitted to being one of those “smears” and then get on the defensive. Gracious losers.
Yep… Remember when Haprer deliberately lost to the Turdhole Globallists…?
I do…
The Harper campaign would travel back and forth across the country with a pack of Liberal/NDP hacks in tow fraudulently passing themselves off as “journalists”….
at each campaign stop Harper and his handlers decided it was best to stand down become a punching bag and allow these Lib/NDP frauds to hi-jack the proceedings by giving long irrelevant speeches primarily consisting of LIbshit NDPer talking points and narratives disguised as “questions”.
Harper would stand at the podium like a lost child and allow these morons to get up on their hind legs and spew their disinformation while giving Liberal campaign speeches and Harper and his inept handlers would do nothing to stop it.
If Con voters in the crowd got impatient and would then show their displeasure with these Lib operatives hijacking the show then Harper would tell his voters to stay silent and allow the shit show to continue.
If only Harper and his corrupt team had decided to fight back against the lies and innuendo of these fraudsters we might have had a slightly different outcome… maybe… keeping in mind that Canadians are political imbeciles, historically illiterate and completely unserious people.
Good for Pollievre for at least trying to kick back at the Libshit Media lies…. long over do.
Poor guy.

“When reporters such as yourself use smear tactics like Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels, why should Canadians trust you?”
I just love how he discombobulated the reporter while munching on an apple. Was that an actual reporter ro was this sature?
Two things stand out, first you just know that reporter was rubbing himself before the interview with his prepared Gotcha statements. (I didn’t hear any questions) and it blew up in his face.
Second the term ‘Populist’ is presented as something right wing and evil. The truth is Trudeau and Obama were the quintessential populist politicians, because neither of them had done anything in their lives prior to getting elected.
“The truth is Trudeau and Obama were the quintessential populist politicians, because neither of them had done anything in their lives prior to getting elected.”
An excellent observation.
Gonna use it a lot.
One would think that anyone that got elected was in fact elected by popular vote. Hence every one of the suckers is, by definition a populist.
It that sounds convoluted, it is, that’s why the media cartels spread it so the NPC’s have some welcome feed.
The same Presstitutes praised Hugo Chavez as a populist. All of which, I am sure, has been memory holed now that the term is deemed negative.
He sounds so much like an American Republican, and we all know how well they do what they say. How can you require cities to build housing without just creating more largesse? How can you give bonuses for building more houses without creating more largesse? If you get the State out of the way, the market will provide everything people want to pay for, prioritized to what they want to pay for the most. Government solutions are only solutions for those in the government.
This line from a country music song seems to nail it; Hold my beer while I kiss your girl friend.
I told my MP I was impressed. Positive reinforcement grows good behaviour.
I always wondered why the Dairy Queen wouldn’t interrupt a presstitute making a speech with, “I’m sorry, do you have a question for me? Or are you just ranting for the hell of it?”
This is Poilievre at his best.
Though when he starts thinking if the optics are not the best he would probably fold, although I would really, really like to be wrong on that point.
On the other hand he does not have to agree with me on everything.
PP talks the talk, time will tell if and when he get elected PM. Trump will likely be POTUS before Canada has an election, don’t know if that will hinder or help PP?
did you order a song about common sense.
