If Pierre is unhappy with how the government is doing things, he should contact his MP, just like any other Canadian.
He’s running an immediate by-election thanks to a party loyalist stepping down that magically got a lobbying job instantly.
Glass houses?
There is a glimmer of substance here, if he would apply it correctly. If he legitimately thinks this is a problem, he should propose legislation requiring PMs (or ideally, all MPs) to more completely divest their investments upon taking office.
But then he would risk being bound by it.
If you complain about corruption but fail to propose a solution, it just sounds like sour grapes at not having the opportunity to do a little corruption yourself.
It’s very striking to me that the Tories just don’t know what to do with Carney. They’ve been flailing like this since January, throwing any old crap at the wall and hoping something sticks. And none of it has.
It’s revealing to me of how shallow Poilievre and his operation actually are. Yeah Carney effectively stole many of their more popular policies but this would be less of a problem if Poilievre actually had a coherent platform or vision. But now there isn’t a carbon tax to axe it’s not really clear what what a Pierre Poilievre government would really do.
Also I think a lot about Poilievre and Jenni Byrne that they were literally an MP and a very senior advisor to the prime minister respectively when Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of Canada in the late 2000s and clearly neither of them ever formed any coherent opinion on the man.
That’s his entire strategy. It worked well with Trudeau fatigue but it’s not working after he lost an election, lost his seat, refused to make any changes, and literally makes unhinhed attacks on Carney for anything that happens ever.
Here’s his recent post replying to a story about a prison guard getting stabbed
> Brave prison guard getting stabbed in the face is the latest chaos Liberals have unleashed in our prisons, allowing open drug use and consequence-free violence.
> Violent offenders get club fed treatment. Guards get stabbed. Canada gets dangerous.
> Where is Mark Carney’s Public Safety Minister?
Really? Carney and his public safety minister are bad because Maximum security prisons are filled with violent criminals? Where else would they be if not a maximum security prison? What are you even mad about?
Poilievre comes off less like a conservative crusader and more like Lex Luthor who is grasping at straws to find reasons to hate something popular and blaming it for all the problems in his life. He really needs to be removed as leader. Both for the good of the CPC and the country at this point. Politics needs serious opposition to hold the government responsible and not whatever Poilievre has turned into.
Poilievre can’t even comprehend why he lost. He claims that he lost his 20+ year seat because they were government workers demanding tax money and they didn’t appreciate how honest he was. If you ask the people there though you’ll often hear that he took the riding for granted despite it being only a 20 minute drive from parliament and didn’t spend much time there or listened to the constituents.
Poilievre also has plenty of business ties, many of it is also tied to Carney, but it’s perfectly fine when he does it.
I know a number of business owners who might, under the right circumstances want to stand for MP. They certainly have political opinions and ideas. They’re fine with conflict of interest requirements. The federal ones are a bit of a pain, but they’re not that onerous.
But none of them really want the hassle of dealing with malevolent idiocy the grade of which Poilievre is willing to sling. If one is in the wrong automatically, instantly in conflict, because they have extensive experience in a business area or two, then they want no part of it They don’t want to defend, essentially, who they are and their (typically fine) business history.
It’s no wonder we just have unemployables like Poilievres and Scheers at the head of the CPC if this is what they think of business owners who dare to have political ambitions. It’s part of the loyalty cancer that’s eaten the CPC almost entirely.
Conflicts of interest are a real concern, but this is being weaponized to absurdity.
It was hilarious that on Power and Politics the host had written a story that Pierre was changing his tone, and everyone in the most polite way possible were essentially going ‚he sounds exactly the same but more bitter‘.
PP is jealous…PMMC really came out of nowhere to beat his whiney ass and take the “ throne“ from him when he thought he had it all locked up.
