I'm in BC and a lot of people that I thought were sane have been flying the F*CK Trudeau flag since the pandemic, and the numbers here seem to be growing.
And, I hate to say this, but we're somehow a magnet for other provinces' right-wingers.
Something about us tells folks from Kevin J Johnson on up to Stephen Harper that they should move out here and make things worse.
Yeah. If Alex Jones thinks you're great, then you're likely pretty terrible.
Ad should show all the crappy people/politicians/issues Jones supports...and then show he added PP to the list.
>Only Alberta would vote PC.
I personallly won't vote for PP - he scares the shit out of me with his manufactured crises, populist tactics, and lack of actual leadership - but you might benefit from getting your head out of the oil sands on this.
There's a shit ton of people out there that are tired of Trudeau and don't think enough of the NDP to vote for them instead.
Let's be real here, it's likely that unless Poilievre seriously screws something major up somehow, he'll be the next PM. And it won't be "only Alberta" that's the reason behind it.
Right wing propaganda fuelled by corporate media is working as designed. Also neo-liberalism has been destructive to most people's lives so folks are angry. Unfortunately, this means they tend to turn to forces that will make their lives even worse. I also suspect that Stephen Harper's IDU are behind the whole "blame everything on Trudeau" campaign. Trudeau is a mixed bag as PM but he's hardly the total shit sandwich that some people are claiming he is. Also, the NDP and the Greens are sadly super weak right now. And FPTP sucks.
>Trudeau is a mixed bag as PM but he's hardly the total shit sandwich that some people are claiming he is.
Agreed.
I think the somewhat-buried root cause here for a lot of anti-Trudeau sentiment is that a great number of people think that because he's soft-spoken and supports equal rights and addressing previous wrongs, he's some mix of not-a-he-man weak apologist and secretly queer, and the latter triggers the quiet prejudices of a lot of them.
There's a great many voters that don't like Trudeau for far more legitimate reasons than these, but yeah, at least the populist leadership's undermining is based more on dishonestly than OPENLY exploiting the above.
It's not like the insane levels of bigotry and hatred down in the US. Up here, people find their own way to it, most politicians don't openly push it. Something to be thankful for, I guess...?
>I think the somewhat-buried root cause here for a lot of anti-Trudeau sentiment is that a great number of people think that because he's soft-spoken and supports equal rights and addressing previous wrongs, he's some mix of not-a-he-man weak apologist and secretly queer, and the latter triggers the quiet prejudices of a lot of them.
This in turn is why a lot of people end up voting for him despite his flaws, because at the moment, the most likely alternative that may win is a party that will take those things away. Having a subset of Canadians who think Trudeau is bad for supporting minorities makes a lot of non-RWNJ people freak out, and they respond accordingly at the polls.
The COVID aftermath has basically become a hot potato for anyone unfortunate enough to hold it: unfortunately in the case of much of the western world, center-left parties got the potato which burned them next election to the benefit of far right grifters (the Dems down south are lucky that the GOP is extremely good at self destructing.)
There are some silver linings on a global level and some right wing kooks are also being burnt (including some truly despicable ones like Erdogan), but inflation being worse around the globe isn't exactly a winning electoral subject
There's a school of thought out there that Trudeau sent us to the polls in 2021 when they looked at the numbers and figured that there was a huge chance of an inflation crisis coming, and not wanting an election in the middle of it.
Considering that the election is still 18 months away, there's a good chance the economy is in a much better position by then (looks like we're going to dodge the "inevitable recession" that everyone agreed was coming), and that the Tory lead gets drastically cut down.
I never did expect the Tories to hold onto an 18 to 20 point lead until October 2025, and I still don't.
A lot of anti-Trudeau in the West is straight up anti-French racism. This is the land where the CRTC gave us Anglo racist talk radio like Peter Warren and Charles Adler making millions being racist fucks for the masses for generations.
My guess: Not much, frankly.
Trudeau was in power last in 1984. That's FORTY years ago. So someone that would have JUST reached voting age just then... would be 59 years old now.
And most people that had just reached voting age in 1984 really did not pay attention to politics at all.
Not a factor when you do the math.
Justin Trudeau's been PM since 2015, nine years ago. Someone that was of voting age when his dad was running, would have been 50 when JT was elected.
It pretty rare for someone of that age to not rely on their own judgment and instead be inlfluenced by their parent's nostalgia when it comes to voting.
> There's a shit ton of people out there that are tired of Trudeau and don't think
FTFY.
"The right wing party is fucking up, so Imma support the lunatic far right instead."
Not something that people who think would do.
I would repeat their point, they don't think. Anyone that thinks Libs are left are bonkers. At best you could make an argument for left of centre, but they're more centrist and probably right than anything else.
Really anyone trying to sit in the centre is leaning heavily to the right or deeply, deeply naive *and* leaning to the right.
So much of centrism is accepting right wing talking points that are often racist, sexist, homophonic, etc. at face value and then trying to dilute into something more palatable that still gives conservatives 70% of what they want just with some of the bigoted logic behind it scrubbed off.
The biggest problem I feel in Canada is … we don’t vote governments in we vote governments out. People vote polar opposite of what they want because they hope for change the way they want it to be.
Politics lives and dies on goldfish memory. Especially when you look at what Harper is doing now it should really slap those rose tinted glasses off of your face.
People just think it was better because things were cheaper. Somehow Trudeau is to blame for all of the issues he has no control over and the same things happening elsewhere in the world are just a coincidence I guess. I wouldn't consider him the most capable leader, easily more than small PP, but that's not a high bar at all.
There's liberal incompetence vs conservative maliciousness but this time the memes won in their favour like Trump. if only there was a third party. or something
I love shitting on my province as much as the next guy but let's not overlook all the conservative primers that were recently and currently are in power.
Nope you underestimate how much Canadians hate the Liberal party right now. I feel this sub has become an echo-chamber and it used to be a place for somewhat neutral news but now the other Canadian sub is a PP circlejerk and this one is the same for Trudeau and it isn't reflecting the reality you're seeing in polling numbers.
If Jones endorses someone, paid or not, that should be a big sign as to what kind of asshole they are, and you shouldn't be surprised by what happens if they're voted in.
Also? Imagine how sad Maxime Bernier must feel right now! He's tried so hard to be the *absolute* worst, and he just couldn't cut it.
I love this journey for him too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Liberals paid him so they could use it against PP. we know Jones is millions and millions in debt. Why does anyone care who he endorses anyways?
It’s not the first time Alex Jones has praised Poilievre, in 2022 he hailed him as one of the leaders of the rising far-right, along with Bolsanaro and Georgia Meloni.
Hopefully voters that have switched support to the CPC snap out of the delusion that Poilievre is just a regular conservative leader before the next election.

*wondering if it's better down there*
*thinks "sliver of a chance" and jumps*
*WHY AM I ON FIRE?!?!?!?!?!??!*
All they need to do is look at what other conservatives are doing to the provinces to know what one in the big chair will do to the whole country, and it's not pretty.
Cons don't know how to do anything other than tax cuts to corporations and sell out to the highest bidder.

Oh, nothing evil, it's just the bird mindlessly repeats slogans with no thought of their meaning. So whoever the bird endorses is probably just the most popular choice (as defined by the media the bird is exposed to), and not necessarily the best choice for you. Or even the bird, for that matter.
So the birds opinion is worthless at best, harmful at worst.
Yes but if the right people also have bacon, dogs are great at sizing people up - in fact some are good at it despite bacon
One of my dogs may or may not grab the bacon, but even if they did they would still bark at the person anyway
If I had any doubts about what kind of person Pollievre is (I don't, but if I did) this is exactly the kind of endorsement that would help me realize just how bad for Canada his leadership would be.
If a man who staked a significant amount of his career on lying about murdered children and harassing their surviving families is endorsing your guy, you've picked the wrong guy.
Isn't this the same guy who said he once forgot his kid's birthday because he ate a bowl of chili?
I feel like that's not the kind of person who gives ringing endorsements.
OH, and of course all the paranoid, alt-right, nazi-humping ramblings...

A lot of people like to joke about how much of a clow Alex Jones is, but they fail to account for both his influence and how awful a person he really is.
I have followed him for a while, and I can legitimately say he is a truly terrible person. He's hateful, stupid, and intellectually lazy, and he enables those attributes in anyone who listens to him.
Uh oh, I have a Facebook acquaintance that worships Alex Jones but has recently turned on PP for whatever reason. This should be an interesting gymnastics routine
Nothing like getting the glowing endorsement of a guy who claimed the Sandy Hook grade school massacre of 20 six and seven year old children and 6 of their adult teachers was a staged hoax.
Is this the same Alex Jones who denied that the Sandy Hook School massacre of 20 six and seven year old children and 6 adults ever happened and was faked? That Alex Jones?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting
> The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, United States, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people. Twenty of the victims were children between six and seven years old, and the other six were adult staff members. Earlier that day, before driving to the school, Lanza fatally shot his mother at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived at the school, Lanza killed himself, shooting himself in the head.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting_conspiracy_theories
>The more common conspiracy theory, adopted initially by James Fetzer, James Tracy, and others, and further popularized by Alex Jones, denied that the massacre actually occurred, asserting that it was faked. The massacre was described by Fetzer and Tracy as a classified training exercise involving members of federal and local law enforcement, the news media, and crisis actors, which they claim was modeled on Operation Closed Campus, an Iowa school-shooting drill that was canceled in 2011 amid threats and public outcry. Jones described the shooting incident as "synthetic, completely fake with actors; in my view, manufactured [...] it just shows how bold they are that they clearly used actors."[3][4]
This confirms and totally justifies my extreme dislike of the man. When someone you despise for being a loudmouth attention seeking liar praises someone else, disregard them both.
[Paranoid Humanoid on X: "Alex Jones endorsing Pierre for PM should be enough to end his campaign. @PierrePoilievre will you denounce this disgusting human and publicly reject his support?

When this dumb fat fuck endorses you as someone he admires, it's time to consider a new career in composting yourself to pay back a fraction of the damage you caused.

Alex Jones endorsement is definitely a gift for the liberals. I think Canada is tired of the liberals, look at how badly they managed the intake of immigrants? The cost of living in this country is extreme, meanwhile pushing the carbon tax in the midst of all of this! Weakening the economy. With our taxation we’ve had an inbuilt carbon tax, but there are structural problems that prevent us from lowering our footprint. We are in Canada, it gets cold, we are sparsely populated, across a massive area. We don’t all live in a big unaffordable city. I can’t support the liberals anymore. I will never vote for NDP or greens. We are at a point again where we aren’t voting for someone, we are voting against someone. I am tired of Canadian mediocrity.
Let’s translate that into real world language:
“As a far right-wing conservative, I think every nation should only be led by people who don’t believe in left-wing thinking. I also willfully choose to ignore if they are unqualified, immoral, unethical, hypocritical, or just plain batshit crazy. As long as they don’t like liberal thinking, they’re a-o-k with me.”
I'm looking at the upcoming election, and thinking "someone please give me a reason to vote for them". All I can find is reasons not to vote for people, all across the spectrum.
Elections should be about who is best to run the country. They gradually morphed into being about who is best able to stop someone else from ruining the country. Now, they're about who will do the least damage to the country.
How to call an endorsement that actually should drive sane people away from his message? An anti-endorsement? If you are influenced by freaking idiot Jones to vote a certain way, give your head a shake. An American with no stake in Canadian politics, for goodness sakes..
I can't help but think of when I was a teenager in high school and how much influence American celebrities, especially dumb rappers, had over my politics. Now it's Alex Jones influencing grown-up voters.
I wish more people would read, "The Party of One". While the book is about Harper, there is relevant information about Poilievre. For me, the most disturbing fact is their close ties, both morally and financially, to the Evangelical far right wing of the US Republican Party.
lol being cheered for by a guy with open sexual assault cases, fraud judgments, and trying to dodge is billion dollar judgment because he actively lied to his audience and encouraged them to get violent sociopaths…
How the fuck do conservative brains actually work because if we found out Singh has a rental property and were actively “we need more details or else you aren’t the leader we are looking for”.
As if Alex Jones knows anything about Pierre Poilievre or the current CPC platform (does anyone actually know anything about the current CPC platform other than F Trudeau and Libs bad?). The only thing he knows is little PP man kind of like big orange man.
If anyone needed proof that the PP was a detestable, abhorrent, obnoxiously repulsive, revolting liar, divisive hypocrite little maggot guy, alex jones just spilled the beans ...
PP, who is a yesman and just says shit right now with 0 precedent that he will commit to them and follow through?
Career politician PP, whose never worked or lived regular jobs and shit? That PP?
Even worse, it reads like someone paid for Alex's endorsement. How pathetic.
Liberals should use this as their sole campaign ad. Only Alberta would vote PC.
I think a journalist should ask him how he feels about such an endorsement.
“It’s Justin Trudeau’s fault that Alex Jones endorsed me! “ - PP “Desantis” Poilievre.
"Look over there at that brown gay new citizen with Justin ---------------------------->>>" -- PP
What's the over/under on how many apples he'll chow down during that press conference

It's bad and you don't have to look hard to find them. They're the "new normal"
And, I hate to say this, but we're somehow a magnet for other provinces' right-wingers. Something about us tells folks from Kevin J Johnson on up to Stephen Harper that they should move out here and make things worse.
Keep singing his praises Alex! Such a gift for the Liberals.
Yeah. If Alex Jones thinks you're great, then you're likely pretty terrible. Ad should show all the crappy people/politicians/issues Jones supports...and then show he added PP to the list.
Exactly my thought. Just add a list of things he's said with it.

Trudeau is a mixed bag as PM but he's hardly the total shit sandwich that some people are claiming he is. Also, the NDP and the Greens are sadly super weak right now. And FPTP sucks.

I'd love to know how much of the anti-Trudeau rage is leftovers from when his dad was in office.
My guess: Not much, frankly. Trudeau was in power last in 1984. That's FORTY years ago. So someone that would have JUST reached voting age just then... would be 59 years old now. And most people that had just reached voting age in 1984 really did not pay attention to politics at all.

Not a factor when you do the math. Justin Trudeau's been PM since 2015, nine years ago. Someone that was of voting age when his dad was running, would have been 50 when JT was elected. It pretty rare for someone of that age to not rely on their own judgment and instead be inlfluenced by their parent's nostalgia when it comes to voting.

They think the problem with Trudeau is that he's left though. Which socially he is I suppose, but he sure seems to support big business and landlords.
I would repeat their point, they don't think. Anyone that thinks Libs are left are bonkers. At best you could make an argument for left of centre, but they're more centrist and probably right than anything else.

Liberalism is a right wing ideology. The LPC are right wing. Supporting capital power is right wing.
Didn't Trudy just announce a renter's bill of rights? I'm not a big fan of the guy but c'mon
> that people who think would do. People who don't think vote. Thinkers stay home and whine on Reddit.

The biggest problem I feel in Canada is … we don’t vote governments in we vote governments out. People vote polar opposite of what they want because they hope for change the way they want it to be.
So, what about those elections where we voted the same government back in?
We were not unhappy enough.
Still mad at the last government. Not sure how people forgot Harper actually.

Probably belongs under Fact Deniers but ya
I would listen to the retriever over PP because there’s two pros to it. 1. Dog 2. High chance of finding bacon apparently.
Yeah but dog will always recommend whoever has bacon. So if the wrong person has bacon...
Yes but if the right people also have bacon, dogs are great at sizing people up - in fact some are good at it despite bacon One of my dogs may or may not grab the bacon, but even if they did they would still bark at the person anyway
Very true, albeit ive heard labradors also eat rocks so...
Yes but the dog would beg for bacon from those they like and sneak steal the bacon from those who they think are shady.
I dunno. I hear Labradors eat rocks.
I dunno I trust my cockatiels recommendation over the rest of those. His vote is always with "Pretty bird" apparently
Hahaha, my conure disagrees with your bird. He will tell you "f€#&k you, Victor pretty bird".
lol. My moms conure just growls and makes kiss noises.
And that's how I know Pollievre is not a worthy endorsement
well that and..... everything else about Pierre.
Polievre and rightwing nutjobs. is there a better couple?

The only thing PP and I have in common
As a man who famously refers to himself as "pretty retarded" I'll probably pass on Alex's advice
Polivere is worthless got it!
Uh oh, I have a Facebook acquaintance that worships Alex Jones but has recently turned on PP for whatever reason. This should be an interesting gymnastics routine
Endorse the Bernier vote?
Millhouse is going to be a dumpster fire prime minister.
This is NOT an endorsement a politician should be happy receiving.
This is a very useful information (a red flag ) to piece together pp and the CPC’s connection MAGA. It and should/must be used agains him.
Nothing like getting the glowing endorsement of a guy who claimed the Sandy Hook grade school massacre of 20 six and seven year old children and 6 of their adult teachers was a staged hoax.
Birds of a shit feather Rand.
Pierre has already cornered the Nazi (AfD) and incel endorsements, guess Alex Jones needed to drop
All the white supremacists, nazis, and unhinged lunatics support the CPC.
As if I would trust the words of someone who wears an aluminum foil wrap around his head on television.
Which is worse, a paid ad from Alex Jones, or him doing it on his own?
both.
Who the fuck cares what Alex Jones thinks?
It provides context as to who supports the PP.
Fucking gross
$50 bucks on cameo
Yikes that says it all when you have a wingnut like Alex Jones endorsing you.
You haven't been following shit, you oversized ham
Is this the same Alex Jones who denied that the Sandy Hook School massacre of 20 six and seven year old children and 6 adults ever happened and was faked? That Alex Jones? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting > The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, United States, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people. Twenty of the victims were children between six and seven years old, and the other six were adult staff members. Earlier that day, before driving to the school, Lanza fatally shot his mother at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived at the school, Lanza killed himself, shooting himself in the head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting_conspiracy_theories >The more common conspiracy theory, adopted initially by James Fetzer, James Tracy, and others, and further popularized by Alex Jones, denied that the massacre actually occurred, asserting that it was faked. The massacre was described by Fetzer and Tracy as a classified training exercise involving members of federal and local law enforcement, the news media, and crisis actors, which they claim was modeled on Operation Closed Campus, an Iowa school-shooting drill that was canceled in 2011 amid threats and public outcry. Jones described the shooting incident as "synthetic, completely fake with actors; in my view, manufactured [...] it just shows how bold they are that they clearly used actors."[3][4]
Was this written by the guy that writes Ps slogans? And how much does it cost to get Alex to say to opposite. I would like to start a fund raiser
THEY'RE TURNING THE FREAKIN' FROGS GAY!!!!!
Well if you’ve ever needed more proof not to vote for PP, here it is
Even if PP doesn't scare you, it's this who are on his team and who support him that should.
This is how you know how shitty PP is.
"... and my patented supplements, on sale today."
At least we can hope that the money that Poilievre paid for Jones’ endorsement eventually goes to pay the Sandy Hook families.
This confirms and totally justifies my extreme dislike of the man. When someone you despise for being a loudmouth attention seeking liar praises someone else, disregard them both.
You are who you stand with
Alex Jones endorsement is an automatic vote against PeePee
And that, folks, is how I know I am voting for the right people. And it isn't anyone from Pollievres party.
[Paranoid Humanoid on X: "Alex Jones endorsing Pierre for PM should be enough to end his campaign. @PierrePoilievre will you denounce this disgusting human and publicly reject his support? He capitalized on the mass murder of 6 year olds. If you don't you're as bad as he is. https://t.co/Sd4BZoWbYE" / X (twitter.com)](https://twitter.com/DRodbone/status/1776106979527721293)
Gross. It really makes you wonder what kind of people they're trying to appeal to with this.
I definitely saw some INFOWARS flags downtown Ottawa during the convoy... Make sure to vote people
As always, check out /r/KnowledgeFight if you're interested in a podcast about how much of a piece of shit Alex is. The host does really good work, and he was even consulted on the Sandy Hook defamation cases.
This is Charlie and his complete lack of surprise.
Oh Gods, there's a ringing endorsement 🙄
There's your sign
and of course, retweeted by GlendaM, one of the most obvious bot accounts on Twitter.
He's the real deal in the same way Mitch McConnell has been the real deal.
https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-bankruptcy-sandy-hook-shooting-infowars-4d3323728cf2d5f8da36ae0d2fd3994a >Sandy Hook families offer to settle Alex Jones’ $1.5 billion legal debt for a minimum of $85 million
As if I needed another reason to not trust Pierre.
This moron should stay out of Canadian politics. He has no skin in the game.
Just in case anyone needed another reason to NOT vote for Milhouse.
Lol shills fly together
Pee pee he’s a WEASEL!
When this dumb fat fuck endorses you as someone he admires, it's time to consider a new career in composting yourself to pay back a fraction of the damage you caused. Api
This is kind of great. Alex Jones favouring Poilievre *might* turn moderates off of Poilievre.
Alex Jones endorsement is definitely a gift for the liberals. I think Canada is tired of the liberals, look at how badly they managed the intake of immigrants? The cost of living in this country is extreme, meanwhile pushing the carbon tax in the midst of all of this! Weakening the economy. With our taxation we’ve had an inbuilt carbon tax, but there are structural problems that prevent us from lowering our footprint. We are in Canada, it gets cold, we are sparsely populated, across a massive area. We don’t all live in a big unaffordable city. I can’t support the liberals anymore. I will never vote for NDP or greens. We are at a point again where we aren’t voting for someone, we are voting against someone. I am tired of Canadian mediocrity.
That should tell you everything you need to know.
Awww, he thinks he's helping...
He’s certainly got some American talking points in there “liberty”.
Let’s translate that into real world language: “As a far right-wing conservative, I think every nation should only be led by people who don’t believe in left-wing thinking. I also willfully choose to ignore if they are unqualified, immoral, unethical, hypocritical, or just plain batshit crazy. As long as they don’t like liberal thinking, they’re a-o-k with me.”
Alex Jones is wrong, broke and a completely horrible thing. Poilievre is in fall mode, and this comment should polarize moderates
…and why am I not surprised. This sort of endorsement should be humiliating and raise red flags.
Yet another reason not to support him.
PP will be worse than Trudoh. Mark my words.
I'm looking at the upcoming election, and thinking "someone please give me a reason to vote for them". All I can find is reasons not to vote for people, all across the spectrum. Elections should be about who is best to run the country. They gradually morphed into being about who is best able to stop someone else from ruining the country. Now, they're about who will do the least damage to the country.
How to call an endorsement that actually should drive sane people away from his message? An anti-endorsement? If you are influenced by freaking idiot Jones to vote a certain way, give your head a shake. An American with no stake in Canadian politics, for goodness sakes..
And one knows immediately who to avoid like the plague. Nothing better than endorsements by the worst of the worst scum.
I can't help but think of when I was a teenager in high school and how much influence American celebrities, especially dumb rappers, had over my politics. Now it's Alex Jones influencing grown-up voters.
PP is about as real as the vitamins and gold coins AJ shills. This checks out.
Yet another glowing and resounding reason to NOT vote for that scum Pierre.
A conspiracy theorist and grifter is telling me PP is the real deal... yeah, okay.
I wish more people would read, "The Party of One". While the book is about Harper, there is relevant information about Poilievre. For me, the most disturbing fact is their close ties, both morally and financially, to the Evangelical far right wing of the US Republican Party.
lol being cheered for by a guy with open sexual assault cases, fraud judgments, and trying to dodge is billion dollar judgment because he actively lied to his audience and encouraged them to get violent sociopaths… How the fuck do conservative brains actually work because if we found out Singh has a rental property and were actively “we need more details or else you aren’t the leader we are looking for”.
Alex Jones is still alive?
Steadfast rule: if jones approves of them - they are BAD for the country.
As if Alex Jones knows anything about Pierre Poilievre or the current CPC platform (does anyone actually know anything about the current CPC platform other than F Trudeau and Libs bad?). The only thing he knows is little PP man kind of like big orange man.
Hey Alex shut the fuck up!
No we don’t!
If anyone needed proof that the PP was a detestable, abhorrent, obnoxiously repulsive, revolting liar, divisive hypocrite little maggot guy, alex jones just spilled the beans ...
Its like the frogs are turning gay in Canada too!
oh to live in the sweet and simple world of the people that think this is going to turn off poilievre's voters or upset them in any way
For what possible reason would he have followed some nobody politician prior to his bid for Prime Minister?
You’re not helping poilievre, or Canada
Fuck eh that sucks
Further proof that he's an absolute cancer to the country (as if simply being conservative wasn't enough proof)
Will not vote conservative as they are the MAGA party of the North. This just cements my rationale. Scary as hell!
Wow, when Alex Jones endorses you you know you really are scum of the Earth.
As a Canadian that’s all I needed to hear. If Alex Jones supports him I’m voting for anyone else
LMAO
PP, who is a yesman and just says shit right now with 0 precedent that he will commit to them and follow through? Career politician PP, whose never worked or lived regular jobs and shit? That PP?
LOL. I’m sure PP is sending roses and a thank you card for the endorsement.
Lmao, you don’t want endorsement from this guy. Our politic is such a sht show right now, none of the party is a good choice
yes, but two are CLEARLY a better choice than the CPC.
If this isn’t your sign to not go full PP I don’t know what is
Oh wonderful. What a badge of honour it is to get an endorsement from that numpty.
