He's not debating well either way.

🤣 He also said he'd pay for his new spending by cutting spending, then said he wouldn't cut any services... Where does anyone think he will find those savings without cutting services?

Could be.
I think it's just the fracture in the Conservative party.
The Old Progressive Conservatives vs the Old Reform Party. Poilievre is Reform Party. These are Social Conservatives... and a lot of swing voters struggle to vote for that.

I honestly will never understand Alberta's loyalty to Conservatives.

It's always so telling to me when they accuse Liberals of sneaky stuff that they actually do.

Maybe, But the same can be said for liberal voters, as many hated trudeau and some people are nervous to say they will vote liberal... I'm in a very liberal area and until Carney showed up people were nervous to admit they weren't upset with the Liberals.

You know things have pushed far right for Conservatives when Kenney is one of the ones sounding the alarm about going too far right... He was deemed our far right 20 years ago...

How do you decide ill-got gains?
We have a progressive taxation of income. Shutting Down TFSAs would hurt a lot of non-wealthy people, who have no pension funds, and have to save and invest themselves to survive.

I'm a small business owner with no pension. I don't make a lot. When I sell the main asset of my business, that is my retirement money, that and CPP. I will have to pay capital gains on that. You think that I should lose more than half of my retirement earnings, and that will help poor people?

It should be. I don't think it's safe in the US for Climate Scientists or Advocates...

The Gov't did give Small Businesses Covid loans, it was widely publicized. They even were interest free, and partially forgivable.
They gave out $49Billion to 898,000 small businesses.
It was up to small business owners to go get them. If they didn't that's on them.

The US polls tend to only look at popular vote, but the electoral college picks the President, not the popular vote, which makes their polls less accurate.
338 in Canada has called 2036 districts races over 18 elections and only 86 were not within their margin of error. They're pretty accurate.

What is with all these foreign conservative government and elected officials weighing in on our election?!?
This is foreign interfefence.
They are not supposed to do this... because they have to work with whoever wins. 🤦🏻♀️

Danielle Smith wasn't there because she wasn't invited. Poilievre is smart enough to know she's viewed as a traitor across Canada... she would be a poison pill, as she already hurt him going to the US stating Poilievre is aligned with Trump, etc...

And why would anyone trust him to keep his word? The guy has flip flopped on his long held views so much since campaigning to be PM, just to win. Once in power he can do what he wants... which is what he stood for the last 20 years.

35% of Canadians are not religious.
3% of Canadians identified as Christian Nationalists.
So lets hope that 3% isn't swinging results.

Those types of people always need someone to blame and tend to get more and more aggressive and dehumanizing toward those they blame. They can't ever take accountability.

The Liberals have set up a huge standard of consulting with our Indigenous people to get their input directly and have worked with communities directly for their needs. My husband worked in this feild for the last decade, the difference from Harper to Trudeau was a complete 180

Carney's wife is a leading Economist focused specifically on helping developing nations, and social justice issues. These are things Carney values.
Liberals lifted the vast majority of the water issues for our indigenous people, and did more consultation than anyone.
Cons signaled they'd stop that

I don't know if this is true but saw someone suggest he was kicked off campus then finished it via correspondence, while working for Stockwell Day, and as an MP.

Weird since he wasn't Bank of England Governor in 2022 when she was PM for 49 days... he left 2 years prior, and had warned the UK against voting for Brexit, and warned her against her policies.
Some people can't take responsibility for their own mistakes

The Conservative guy showed on his face his feelings when they said the Conservatives would need 75 in Ontario to win

Hard to rig paper ballots... seems to me the Conservatives tried back in Poilievre's early days... and someone went to prison...🤔

Someone should ask Poilievre that question... if he would allow unscripted questions

He'll likely be one of their Conservative panelists. I'll take that over him being PM

Destroying Angel Mushrooms are natural... but they will kill you... so definitely not good for us.
People have a fantasy of this purity of nature (because of it's beauty and simplicity from the city)... when in reality nature is pretty brutal, and regularly trying to kill you.

He said the one in Moncton? That one was shut down for long periods of time due to lack of nursing staff.

Likely Smith's troubles and her endorsement aren't helping Poilievre.
I never understood why Albertans weren't waking up to the fact Conservatives take their vote for granted. Because Harper did nothing to help Alberta, but Trudeau bought and built pipelines.

What's crazy is the "Law and Order" Republicans stand by him... They've lost all credibility... as have all the people who claim that the Republicans are "fiscally reaponsible"... The guy bankrupted casinos (mutliple!)
Time for Republicans to start holding their own accountable.
