Hmmm… Poilievre Now More Popular Than Carney In Stunning Reversal

that is sudden.
crossing my fingers, but NOT ‘irrationally’ hopeful.
How’s the ebola virus doing?
When the bread and the circus are to expensive…
We only ever get the circus.
The Liberal funded MSM’s increasingly hysterical attacks on Poilievre were a bit of an indicator.
It’s pretty blatant when they try to blame Carney’s gong show bridge deal on the leader of the opposition. https://x.com/TheoMoudakis/status/2081833812745711733
Saskatchewan should pass a provincial law where media are required to disclose their government funding financial conflicts of interest before every newscast or in every written article.
Stock brokers and lawyers and all sorts of others are required to disclose ethical conflicts.
Or maybe require MSM to include their government funding conflicts under their hilarious ‘Journalistic Standards’ page.
Comments by liberals in that post prove a point I have made several times. What liberals lack for in intelligence they more than make up for it with arrogance.
So, what’s the point?
The Vid is 7 months old………
Is it a slam on NP? I can understand, while generally liking them, they do take the odd strange take/position…….the Russians, the Russians……..
We live in a time where mass media misinformation is business as usual.
Sorry Kate, but this video is from 7 months ago.
An uptick in Tory support was inevitable now that the NDP have a new leader and their party faithful are growing upset with a Carney government that looks increasingly to be a clone of the Tories. No poll really matters at this point anyway. With a majority government, it’ll be 3 more years of Carney.
There’s a great deal I like about what is Carney is doing, especially on the economic side. He has signed and is negotiating free trade and investment deals with numerous nations, signed all sorts of military procurement deals that will greatly improve Canada’s ability to defend the arctic, and is pushing a bunch of badly needed infrastructure programs forward. All of this points to greater Canadian independence from the US.
On other files, however, he looks like Trudeau 3.0, especially individual freedom. Nor is he backing off on the industrial carbon tax.
The goods news is that, should Poilievre takes over, he’ll likely continue the good stuff and discontinue the bad.
Says the biggest sucker alive. Operates on pure emotion.
Says the guy who thinks personal attacks are a logical form of rebuttal.
What confuses you is that you’re used to pure tribalism. Everyone on your side can do nothing wrong, and everyone on the other side can do nothing right.
I decided some time ago that rigid partisanship is a cancer. It prevents us from seeing reality. When a politician who I don’t generally support does something good, I try to give credit. And the other way around of course. The freedom to do that is like have a heavy weight lifted from my shoulders.
To some this approach is incomprehensible. Seemingly most on this blog.
” When a politician who I don’t generally support does something good, I try to give credit.”
Except when Donald Trump does something good, right?
When that happens you are strangely silent for a guy who loves the sound of his own voice as much as you do.
BINGO. The swamp creature is a LIEberal plant.
“Imma conservative BUT” was a dead giveaway, several times.
HYPOCRITE is the word that escapes its self-description
Killer isn’t a liberal plant.
If he was, he’d be better at it.
He’s just got TDS. And a rather…amusing…opinion about economics.
But he isn’t a plant.
Bugger off, Fred.
Says the man who thinks a man kicking butt intends rebuttal. Maybe he just insults you because you make it so much fun? Perhaps, if he could feel like an honest man, he’d pass on the insult, but he won’t risk looking like he’s not noticing?
“Operates on pure emotion.”
Bold of you to suggest he’s not being paid for all this.
Who would pay? Serious question. Maybe I can bring in some extra income.
Hey, any lurking manipulators out there, you’d amazed at how modest my bar tabs are. Picking them up can make pleasant light exercise! Just mentioning.
And some people impress others by blowing smoke.
Feel free to point out what you specifically disagree with. We can debate it.
Quoth the mammal, “We can debate it.”
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but debating the opposition was pretty much over when we all found out that most of the “opposition” we see on blogs etc. is freaks in India/Pakistan/China trolling N. American social media as a job. Which quite frankly is what I think you’re doing.
For example: “There’s a great deal I like about what is Carney is doing, especially on the economic side.”
In the spirit of open and honest debate, I’ll be interested to hear what you think is good about driving Canada into recession by crippling the oil, forestry and mining industries with regulations, taxes, and foot-dragging. To say nothing of the dystopian effort to silence free speech.
The only G7 nation currently in a recession, incidentally.
Still want a debate? Didn’t think so.
Actually, Canada’s now out of the recession. And the reason for it being in one was likely that it’s biggest trading partner (by far) was explicitly trying to impoverish it, perhaps to force Canada to join the US. Trump was quite open about this.
Canada into recession by crippling the oil, forestry and mining industries with regulations, taxes, and foot-dragging.
What policies has Carney brought in that have contributed to this?
Excuses, excuses, excuses and made up shit.
The creature repeats the victimization culture of his LIEberals.
It’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault. 11 years in government and they still refuse to accept responsibility of their pathetic, destructive policies and statements.
How’s that bridge? Got outmanoeuvred again huh?
Leverage. Leverage. Leverage. No, it’s not a new drink.
Poor little victim.
Good Lord, are you *still* insisting Trump was serious about the 51st state thing?
Are you autistic, or just pretending to be?
When Trump says he wants to annex Greenland, he’s serious.
When Trumps says he wants to annex Canada, he’s trolling.
You must have some magical power to discern when Trump is serious and when he’s not. Is there some tell he has that I should know about it?
Are any of these negotiated free trade, investment deals, and procurement/infrastructure programs in any way shovel ready or already started?
And who is putting up the money/collateral?
One thing about foreign investment, they kinda want a return(of some kind) in a designated time frame (usually far shorter than what one might find ideal) — so…what’s the collateral?
No
Well, in the unlikely event the projects proceed, probably Beijing
Yes, they aren’t shovel ready or even started — just in the ‘talking about it stage’. That’s a problem for Canada; you’re unemployment numbers aren’t good. Folks gotta eat.
As for Beijing (or others), even they aren’t going to be extraordinarily patient nor an endless ATM without some really big asks from you guys. Those might get you into a deeper imbroglio with my country.
Blowing smoke it probably is. But for the record, I don’t think anyone’s paying Killer for their comments.
You demand instantaneous results do you? Sorry, major projects tend to take time.
But there are a few. The Darlington small modular reactor and a couple of polar icebreakers are being built. A new LNG terminal and pipeline in Kitimat will start construction this year.
The good news is that Carney has greatly streamlined the approval process for major projects.
Ok, so Kitimat fixes a local issue — what about the larger scale national ones?
Your icebreakers don’t go into service until 2030 I believe — but at least you are building them; better late than never.
As for Darlington: again, 2030 project completion date (proposed; some say it’s looking more like 2042). Again, do you have any national scale infrastructure projects that are currently being built? Because that is where Canada has it’s biggest issue — and it’s a structural one of some significance.
And according to the BBC, you’re out of your ‘technical recession’, but your unemployment as of June was 6.5%, and it was mostly part time jobs that created that or it would be higher.
And I noticed you didn’t answer how these are being funded. Projects take money to get started — streamlining or no.
An LNG terminal doesn’t just help Kitimat. It helps all natural gas producers in western Canada by expanding their market, raising demand, and thus prices.
Also keep in mind that Canada measure unemployment than that US. To compare, you should subtract about .8% from the Canadian number. It’s still higher than the US, but not as high as it seems.
The good news is that Canadian unemployment is falling:
You may want to think again – watch what carney achieves, not what he promises.
I see him as a very smart man with great family connections but no moral Center or thoughts of his own. As a result he can get opposing sides in an argument to believe he agrees totally with them while neither understanding the argument nor having an opinion of his own on it.
In the end I expect you will see that his taxes and regulations are real, the mines, pipelines, and reduced trade barriers mere promises – and not because he lies, but because those who want more taxes and more constraints can act under media cover while those who want development cannot.
Maybe. I don’t have a crystal ball. But I suspect Carney wants to be known as the man who led Canada out of the economic wilderness after the Trudeau years, and in the face of a hostile American president. Some of his actions, like a few signed free trade deals, are fait acompli. They are no longer promises.
Out here in Sask…..a suspicious lump growing on someone’s lower back and oozing pungent fluid would have a higher popularity rating than Carney.
Well … this proves that hating and blaming TheBadOrangeMan is quite popular in Canada. It’s quite amusing watching Canadian politicians elbow each other for the MOST Trump-hate cred.
It’s been too easy, really.
The hate of everything Trump is fanned daily by the mass media cartel.
They hate him for telling them that they are a fake news, that which ‘many’, (one understands that it is a wide and uncertain concept), citizens of this country support.
It’s rather sad as the obnoxious ‘non-news’ media don’t want to understand why nobody is reading, listening and viewing their force feeding the naive, the LIV’s and other assorted sycophants.
One doubts if anything will change before they open government’s grocery stores that will have nothing to sell.
Been there, seen that.
Ok, the above is somewhat convoluted, though maybe you get the drift.
A Conservative government would do two important things for the regime at this point. Firstly by taking the blame for the coming austerity budgets. Secondly by quelling the western separatist brushfires.
In this poll Poilievre’s Conservatives are 9 points behind the Liberals.

I say this because here’s a big problem with all those negotiations:
