Of course he is. And PP wants to let him do that to cash in on it.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I don't doubt you, but the only speech I've seen from PP was against it. (I will never vote conservative, but no need to blind ourselves to what they're actually saying)

As an American, don't be naive. Trump said he had nothing to do with project 2025, and now it's 40% complete in just 3 months in office. Everyone on the right side of politics isn't to be trusted in this era. They are all absolutely full of shit, and will unquestionably align with Trumps insanity. Name a single one that hasn't.

I'm trying to be the opposite of naive and figure out what their angle.

[–] EightBitBlood 4 points 23 hours ago

If your decision is between voting for someone that associates with the worst, most ineffective, and cruel politicians in our modern era, or someone else, you vote for someone else.

Evil people lie, and most of them have the money to get social media influences to lie with them, so you won't know their angle until it's too late to stop them. Like project 2025.

Also, no offense, but why would you even possibly entertain voting for someone who is clearly backed by a lunatic that wants to literally invade and annex your country?

Not believing this is a viable threat to your sovereignty is the most dangerously naive you could be.

One of your choices will unquestionably make it easier for Canada to become a US state. Don't pick that candidate unless you're prepared for that result.

Listen to all his other rhetoric. It's all trump like.

Canada is broken

Secure the border

Deportation immigrants

Not to mention he was endorsed by elon and a bunch of right wing Republicans and fox News peopl

Combine that with a refusal to get a security clearance....

His speech you saw was clearly a ploy cause he saw Canadians hate trump now

Don't forget "I only know of two genders." He's well into the full checklist of oppression targets that start with visible minorities and end with everyone including you personally - whomever your are.

Plus all of the foreign interference is supporting little pp

News that came out today ...

A third party group with close ties to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is running attack ads associating Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney with Jeffrey Epstein’s “global child sex trafficking ring” ahead of a possible federal election call.

Canada Proud, a third party advertising group run by conservative operatives who worked for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party leadership campaign, is currently running 10 separate Facebook ads insinuating vague ties between Canada’s new prime minister and the “notorious pedophile” Jeffrey Epstein.

PP is a scumbag through and through. Never believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't know those "$ Proud" propaganda groups were directly linked to to Conservative party. Wow. I thought they were Russian actually.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

They could well have a Russian link that hasn't been discovered yet. Either way the spreading of stupid lies by PP supporters is egregious at best, and PP's refusal to deny the lies is telling.

Not like the Tories are known for saying whatever to get in power then fucking everyone....

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Conservatives are definitely known for never going back on their word.

I guess I'm curious how he plans to swing that shift. His campaign manager is full MAGA, so it's gonna happen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Because if he is all for it, it's suicide to say this publicly. He's an ass, he's not stupid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Until we start getting our shit together...open inter-provincial business...become more self-sufficient...Canada will have to appease Trump [aka border security] instead. A good example is ON having more than 60% of natural gas coming from the US...as if we don't have natural gas but hey...lets rely on the US because it cost too much to build infrastructure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

If only we could have opted out of relying on the USA with a candidate that predicted this exact fucking situation from happening....https://youtu.be/gyYjRmM7RDY?feature=shared

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

You need to to give that link some breathing room.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He's serious about it because Putin told him about how great it would be to have a "Russian Panama Canal."

He just needs Denmark and Canada to give up their territorial claims in the artic.

Greenland? Maybe.

Canada? The idiot doesn't have the slightest fucking clue the amount of shit that will cause.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

US was meant to fail too, but nothing happened so far.
