Late by a year or more! He should have dumped Jenni Byrne this time last year ago and lead the election kickoff with the speech he just gave.
Late to the party is not always fashionable.
The CPC was weak on messaging and it burned them.
I may have voted for Pierre before Trudeau left but it felt like once he didn’t have someone to make fun of, he fell apart. Nowadays Pierre feels so irrelevant that I can’t imagine why I still hear of him in the media.
Even as PP adopts a less antagonistic tone and is starting to mirror the views of mainstream Canadian voters a bit more, nothing is going to change the comparative perceptions between him and Carney. Even if all Canadians forget his recent MAGA inclinations, rubbing shoulders with Diagalon and Ottawa convoy occupiers, non-stop „Canada is broken“ rhetoric, and personality that repels women (and many men!), there remains the fact that he brings nothing to the table beyond words and perception. He wasn’t trusted with any file of consequence by Harper when they were in government, and cannot point to any substantial achievement or management success in his life beyond harnessing anti-Trudeau sentiment effectively and ruling his own caucus with an iron fist of fear. A kinder, gentler PP still has to be measured against a Carney with a PhD in economics, two stints as national bank governor, corporate leadership, and an early run as PM that has been impressive and unifying. Absent the „anyone but Trudeau“ factor, he simply doesn’t have the intellect or qualities to match our current challenges.
Yes, especially when it’s clear that’s not how he really feels. He’s just paying lip service because he knows how unpopular his true stance really is. Luckily people can see through his BS.
The reputation is already strong and will stick.
Pierre built himself as an anti-Trudeau, anti-establishment attack dog MP. That’s his authentic self. I’m glad he’s made it to the very tail end of the party, but the party has shifted to another venue. A lot of the things he proposed during his speech in Toronto are already happening with this current government. It also showed how naive he is thinking that he can get tariff free auto trade with the US. On top of that thinking that the government is replacing the US with China. That’s far from what the government did. You can tell this is his first time out of his comfort zone.
Tough stance on his own party when he forced someone to resign when Pierre lost his seat.
This guy just seems entitled, to the prime Minister seat, to other party members seats. Life long politician and I’m not sure if he’s even gotten any bills passed with his name attached.
Why does such mediocrity get rewarded again and again?
Performative stance. He’s already told us who he is over and over again – don’t buy this for a second.
He’s such a follower.
Poilievre does not represent the Government of Canada; if he had taken a tough stance, people would be whining about him not „staying in his lane“.
This clown needs to step down if they want to have a chance at winning an election , no one likes this guy.
Yes very little!
He has no power to do anything.
Yes. We noticed.
Canada needs a leader that knows what they are doing not copies some maga leaders homework. This is why CPC will be the opposition for a long time to come until they get rid of PP
His tuff on Trump stance, or what I have seen of it, is to tell us all that, as much as we may not like Trump, China is worse and we need to be closer to the US and further from China. He basically took Jamil’s „stop crying about it“ messaging and made it politically palatable with a sprinkle of admitting Trump sucks.
Till when? Tomorrow?
Carney was very smart to keep propping Pierre up as opposition. Conservatives will be on a generational losing streak at this rate. Maple MAGA idiots
Because nobody believes it.
