Don Martin: Poilievre doesn't feel your pain, but he's sure good at communicating it (www.ctvnews.ca)

Probably no other leader, including Justin Trudeau, has landed in a party leadership with less real-world work experience than Pierre Poilievre, says Don Martin in a column for CTVNews.ca. But Poilievre's an able communicator, and this weekend's Conservative convention is a golden opportunity for him to sell himself as PM-in-waiting.

It's hilarious how cons think I automatically like our current PM because I think Skippy is an idiot. I don't care about anything you have to list, because I'm not talking about Trudeau. If the best defence you have is to attack some other guy, MAN y'all are in worse shape than you realize.

Skippy supported a group that was attempting to overthrow a democratically elected government, and constant pushes bullshit conspiracy theories.

I’ve voted NDP more than I have conservative. I dislike many things about Poilievre, but I believe he’s got the best chance of reigning in inflation and housing issues. He’s proposing playing hardball and that plays with a lot of Canadians right now who are feeling the absolute shitshow of the last 8 years.

You're either Conservative or Canadian. Poilievre supported actual traitors to Canada. Fuck the domestic speculator who wants to make life harder for the working class.

Dude last election the conservatives won the popular vote. You’re saying a third of Canadians aren’t… Canadian? Get out of your parents basement or whatever echo chamber you’re living in and see that there’s a lot more grey than the black and white you’re spitting. This is why people don’t take hard lefties seriously because of your absolute dogshit zealot takes.

Again, I don't care how you've voted. If you're considering voting for the cons with him in charge you're an idiot. Flat out. Conservatives only ever make things worse, every single time.
