    Still not sure what Pierre thinks makes him qualified to be PM except “Not Trudeau”. Really Canada, given the world climate - is that enough?

    Personally I’m hoping that when Trudeau is out and presumably Carney is in, the NDP pullls the rug completely out from under the cons and says they’ll support the new liberal leadership.

    You’ll hear the cons bawling about it not being fair from coast to coast and that’s enough to be worthwhile right there.

    Jagmeet’s office isn’t too far, wonder if it’s possible for average Joe Canadian me to get a few min of his time.

    Met him once and he was very personable.

    At press time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to aid the flagging Poilievre campaign by doing something deeply unpopular, by week’s end at the latest.

    This line got a hearty chuckle out of me.

    Good lord I forgot what the Beaverton was for a second and went in there not even doubting the fucking headline. Will I ever question a ridiculous sounding headline again?

      Because most real headlines involving the word trump would be considered too unrealistic to be good satire.

    Polievre and Ford can eat a bag of dick, they’ve been jerking trump for years, I hope he pisses in their face before they all get it by a train.

      I think Ford actually did a good job on this one. He’s Trumpian in terms of his appeal and I think did a good job of rallying Canadians of various stripes and working WITH other premiers.

      Daniel Smith was the opposite. She was a Trump apologist, and was divisive instead of being a team player.

      Don’t get me wrong - I think Ford is a complete tool 98% of the time, but I think he did a good job this once.

        It actually makes me really happy that I can be on board with how Ford has responded to Trump’s objectively-bad-for-Canadians ideas of tariffs and annexation.

        He may not be a good public servant, but goddammit, he’s a_Canadian._ And that’s more than we can say about some of our other “leaders”.

        I feel the same. Still won’t vote for him, but it’s nice to see some competence coming out of him for a change.

      He literally had a speech were he stated the opposite of what you just said. I get it, we are supposed to hate him but straight up lying just makes his critics look bad. Can we as Liberals or nonconservatives not rely on lies? There are actual things to criticise him about.

        Have you seen the video where he is super super happy that Trump won? He’s trying to play the good protective daddy now, but not even a month ago he was praising pedo-donnie, even if the tarifs where already mentioned by pedo. Look it up, he’s always been a trumpist. Now this lying opportunistic crackhead is using this to be reelected. And you’re falling for it.
