Pierre Poilievre is caught in a trap of his own making. He can’t comfortably switch from accusation to aspiration. Leadership is not just about pointing to the fire. It’s about convincing people you can walk them through it. #Opinion - ThreadSky

His latest anti-tax tirade is a clumsy lie as he intends to pay for his platform using canadian citizens paying tarrifs as a consumer tax. So much for Axe the Tax. Pierre doesn't use an axe, he uses a knife into Canadian's backs.

He's probably just doing it because he has a surplus of "Axe the Tax" merch he has to shift.

Remember that time the CPC hid Doug Ford before an election so he couldn't open his mouth?

Canada unified against Trump and a unified Canada is the last thing the western provinces wanted.

There is not much rhetoric in BC about separatism, in fact I only ever hear of it at work and when I shut the two individuals down by asking them to expound on the benefits all they could say was it'll save us sending money back east. I responded with i gladly give to my fellow Canadians so we all

have a place at the table and that we're looking at it wrong, equalization payments are the same as funding fire and rescue services or running a food bank. I am proud that we try to care for others in Canada, proud we send money to impoverished regions around the world. Canadians care not scare.

This campaign has proven Poilievre doesn’t have the ability to pivot…

Clearly he can’t pivot from opposition leader to PM..

Too big a contrast for Poilievre…

Poilievre has never demonstrated leadership; he's a reputation destroyer with twisted allegations. A loudmouth who has shown us that's all he knows how to do. This is not what we need to face the Trump storm after the election, and Poilievre is incapable of handling it , he does not have the skills.

Skippy is not an economist by a long shot, nor is he a lawyer, a historian, a businessman, or an intellectual of any sort. He's a populist nothing.

Poilievre’s latest plan is to hide from Conservative commercials during the rest of the campaign. He brings Harper back from the dead to endorse him even though Harper previously spoke of Carney’s great work. The Cons also drag out an old golfer to speak who doesn’t really know what’s going on.

If 28 days before an election you can simply, “pivot” your entire personality and belief system, you never really had either.

I've seen enough "sides" of Poilievre through the election campaign that all I know is that he's fake. There is no way of knowing who is the "real" Poilievre. His stance flip flops just so he can get votes. No thanks.

I've endured him since he was first elected as a member of Parliament and don't understand how anyone swallows his bs.

im-a-meat-popsicle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doubt he knows who he is after a career flip-flopping between everything. He's a career side kick who thinks he deserves more but his career track record just shows he couldn't handle it.

Prime minister Mark Carney inspires Canadians we can walk through the fire. Meanwhile, #cdnpoli #PierrePoilievre screams at the campfire 🕯️ as BONFIRE! 🔥💣💥!!!

Maybe he should just go golfing

PomPom's great for pointing out problems but his only solutions are highschool slogans.

vicvinegar2024.bsky.social•3 days ago

He can't even suck off Trump properly,what a taxpayer funded parasite.

thesaint52.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m glad Pierre likes referendums. On April 28, there will be a national referendum. I can only hope that Poilievre loses and as a conservative, I hope that in the future, we can elect a serious, strong and capable leader for the conservative party. Kick ass on April 28 PM Carney!
