Completely agree with David that the worst thing the Liberal gov't did was to go back on their promise of electoral reform. I participated in the cross-Canada consultations and was furious when they just threw up their hands and said "no change."
If they had fixed elections, Canada would be in a VASTLY better place right now.
@@AdamBladeTaylor Electoral reform isn't a silver bullet. Most importantly, I don't see a path towards it federally, it has to happen provincially first.
The MBNDP EDA recently demanded the MBNDP gov a citizen's assembly on ER, so maybe there's hope in Manitoba.
Why is it, that people are unaware that it was voted down, and the consensus of the citizens was that weren't interested in "electoral reform". All one has to do is look at B.C. who had the opportunity at the provincial level and the answer was no. Secondly, the notion of electoral reform came from a right wing think tank and it was pushed and pushed until young people showed interest. This was a ploy to weaken Canada's government.
The 2 parties taking turns destroying Canada will never willingly make changes that would prevent them from continuing to take turns destroying Canada.
@@spiguy It won't fix everything, but it CAN vastly improve the situation by letting those the people want actually get elected rather than just giving it all to the first person to hit a threshold.
And it could have been done by the Liberals, but they blew their chance. It won't happen until likely the NDP gets enough of a majority to push it through.
Conservatives will NEVER support it, as that directly challenges their power.
Fascist Milhouse😂
What an idiotic thing to say particularly with what the liberals have introduced in bill c-63. House arrest on suspicion that a person may say something offensive in the future, with the parameters of said offensive speech to be defined some time later... Oh and how about the part where the tribunal to be set up by this bill will be allowed to hold hearings in secret? The liberals have screwed up everything they have touched, how anyone can look at them and think they are worthy of anything beyond being shown the door is amazing to me.
😂😂😂😂
I'm definitely stealing that one!
Poilievre is 100% the Canadian Ron DeSantis.
He’s more like Tea Party Republicans.
He is a collection of a few people. Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbot, Mitch McConnell. He is not the brightest light in the house. God Help Canada if he becomes PM!
Lucky Dog
With a soupcon of Mike Johnson and a pinch of Ted Cruz.
Definitely good comparison
I find him very creepy
He is.
@@-suphur Even putting all politics aside. You know sometimes when you meet a stranger that just feels like something is off and gives you a creepy sort of vibe? you get that little inner voice saying "Something is wrong with this guy."
That's the vibe I get from him. If he was a stranger in my apartment building, I'd stay away from him while keeping my guard up and my eye on him anytime he's around.
@@DoomedCinemas narcissitic asshole vibes... red flags.
Sadly more often than not, that vibe I get is mostly correct. :(
Not agreeing with someone is one thing. But when they seem off, from my experiences more often than not that's a red flag...doesn't matter if it's a politician or a private citizen.
@@DoomedCinemas Exactly. Check the guys search history on his computer and his freezer, just to be safe.
Pierre's worst crime is that he makes me have to defend liberals. Ugh!
😂
PP is the one and only politician that has less real life work expirence than Trudeau. I do not say that lightly.
🤔👊😂🔥✌
Right? 🤣😅🤣
Um, what do you mean? I don't think he does. Sorry if this hurts your feelings but Canadian Liberals are neoLiberals, they are pro-corporate, anti-worker, just with a bit more masking, something like the Democrats of the USA. If anything, look at NDP and their coalition, how they push Liberals to pass social supports that they wouldn't do without NDP demanding it for their support, things like Pharmacare and dental, for example.
Instead of defending Liberals, focus on party policies. NDP is the 3rd most popular party and it was essentially started by Tommy Douglas, Father of Medicare for All in Canada. I know Jagmeet isn't that strong of a leader or speaker, but again, look at the policies - they are pro-worker and pro-ecological sustainability. Both focuses we need in the 21st century. I'd like to see NDP have a leadership race and if a good, forward thinking candidate, who may be in Indigenous, too, were to rise up, I would approve of that, like Premier of Manitoba, Wab Kinew.
Greens are even more pro-worker and environment, but too far down in popularity to have a chance at forming government in 2025, if they even get a few more seats in the House that would be an improvement.
I don’t really want Trudeau but I can’t stand the Conservatives and these new MAGAT wannabes are the worst bunch yet.
And you know what, PP appeals to some Canadians and they don't even know why. My mom is 87, very astute, very informed, does her own investing to this day and does well and when she tried to tear down the Liberals today, I ignored her animosity to the Liberals and instead asked her what she thinks PP has for her to look forward to, what she thinks of a future with him and she had nothing to say. She didn't know his plans (not that many do because he's pretty closed mouth about that),doesn't know what he's done if anything.....complete silence. I was amazed. So there's a good example of how Con voters haven't got a clue but they've memorized his accusatory soundbites.
And while you say you don't want Trudeau, I made a point of actually looking at the various benefits that have come to Canadians since 2016 and there have been over 33 policy benefits that have come to us and I haven't even included this budget. Everything from no interest student loans to $40,000 tax free savings accounts for home buyers, to dental care for poor children and low income seniors to a one time tax on big banks and insurance companies, not to mention they kept the wolf from the door for many Canadians during covid. They've done a lot of good for Canadians and now they're turning their attention to the housing issue. A little late, but their doing it. And they've been doing all that with that little weasel screeching in their ears and clawing at their heels the whole time. He's sure not going to be kind to people. My only hope, is that every policy that he decides to cancel, hurts more Conservatives than Liberal voters because frankly they deserve it for giving up their brains to be controlled by Mr. PP.
Trudeau Liberals are a million times better than MAGA PP and his MAGA PC Party.
Well you must vote Liberals because Pierre Poilievre
will destroy Canada. Poilievre is a career politician working for Stephen Harper PM. Harper belongs to an anti democratic pro right wing
I would like the liberals to have a new leadership convention. Trudeau’s time is up. Thank you for your service, you aren’t perfect, BUT PIERRE IS SO SO SO MUCH WORSE
@@bigem2166 I agree Trudeau should go but I'll vote for him and the Liberals to prevent a PP, Christian Taliban takeover of our democracy. It's been Stephen Harpers fondest wish for decades!
If people think Trudeau is annoying, wait until they get a taste of Poilievre!
Yeah and Freeland too. Why do all these politicians have such irritating voices?
He’ll be a 1 term PM, if that’s any consolation. “I’m not Trudeau” doesn’t last long after you get in.
I agree but Trudeau should still step down so the Liberals at least stand a chance.
@@SpectacularDisasterMark Carney would make an excellent PM. He is the reason why Canadian banks did not have the mortgage banking crisis 2008 in the USA
So much! 🤢
He'll push back the retirement age, He's done it before, he'll do it again. 2 years is $17k, that's a lot of tanks of gas. And It's Evil Milhouse thank you.
Yep, he learned all of Harpers bad habits, and he is MORE religious yet. Not a good choice.
Exactly, and they'll use the old "Oh we just want to protect pensions for future generations" line. Then they'll give tax breaks to fossil fuel companies and Bay Street, and tell us about their latest trickle-down strategies.
Conservatives want to take pensions away.
@@user-ln9ui9yn3j Of course they do. Just raising the age limit can put beyond someones reach, just for a few years of retirement.
Conservatives want us all to work until the grave, just as in the US.
@@-suphur He is arguably worse than Harper, because Harper was a political opportunist that took over a new political party. Pee Pee was a true believer in the party's BS... campaigning on college campuses as a youth before he ever got into politics.
Maybe make a video to remind people why the last Conservative Prime Minister became so unpopular.
Still is unpopular, he has appeared in fascist online interviews and Fox News pundit circuits to promote the IDU and Trump.
I’m American and I enjoy learning about Canadian politics. I like learning about the parliamentary system more and its permutations across various governments. Please don’t assume we are all uninterested.
And as a Canadian, I've also spent a ton of time, learning about your system. I think we can both fairly say that our respective conservative parties have done very little of importance for either of our countries.
I once watched a discussion with a guy who had studied the differences between conservatives and liberals. The upshot was that the conservatives tend to be hesitant and less inclined to try new things and to take 'chances' and favoured an adherence to what is 'old' and familiar, ie the old ways. Whereas the liberal mindset was more open to trying new ideas and making the effort to move the system forward by experimentation and pilot projects. I think we've seen that same difference work out on both sides of the border.
Takes his playbook from trump whines and complains but offers no solutions
Absolutely! Same playbook as Putin and Trump. The Russian troll farms and bots are infiltrating social media and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox/Faux News is brainwashing a lot of Canadians. Putin, Trump and Murdoch are evil megalomaniacs. They are suck, greedy and evil. They are destroying the world. Murdoch and Putin is what caused Brexit. It caused a dangerous anti democratic President Trump. He will be an evil dictator and will be a blood bath. Believe every word he says.
I hate ppl who nagg, super annoying. Repetition works on very few ppl
and the ones he does "offer" seem simplistic, unthought out and filled with buzz words
I've heard him make suggestions a couple of times and they've been uniformly asinine. He has spoken in favour of resurrecting failed, decades old technologies. He's an anti-woke social warrior who - like most of them - hasn't got a clue what "woke" means. Claims that removing regulations will fix the housing crisis but can't begin to say what regulations he wants to do away with.
Stereotypical reich-winger....as you say, lots of whining, no solutions.
@@michaelsnedker5446 "The Common Sense Solution", right? As if all it takes to run a country is the basic common sense.....hell, anybody could do it!
Wattanazzhole!
SCREW the basic "common sense"! If average intelligence were adequate then we wouldn't have things like climate change and a housing crisis! I have a 154 I.Q......I want the person who can make me feel like an idiot. Poilievre doesn't even come close and Obama apparently isn't interested.
Liberals need to hire The Lincoln Project to go after PeePee.
You do realize the Lincoln Project just ended up backfiring. They actually ended up getting more support for Trump. They are a bunch of neo cons.
Lol…I call him PeePee, too 😂🤣😂
YES! He was my MP when I lived in Ottawa. I'd get his flyers in my general mail... full of lies and gaslighting. So I'd fact check with a sharpie and mail it back to his office with a chastising.
No matter how you slice it dice it Polievre is bad news.
Absolutely. Yet again, Canadians voting against their best interest, shooting themselves in the foot.
I'm so tired of the flipflop between the Libs and Cons federally. A majority PC government will be a disaster.
Canadian voters hate Trudeau so much, most would likely vote Hilter into office and with PeePee, that's pretty damned close.
Explain...
@@MixMeister5000 he's an opportunist who is against gay marriage, against cannabis legalization, wants to restrict women's rights on abortion, wants to kill unions, wants to gut the federal public service and is horrible with money management. For starters...
One of the rare times where American voters are more informed about who they are voting for than Canadians are
🤣😂That will be the day. Most Americans struggle to find Canada on a map.
@@mistygirl3995 stay mad
@@mistygirl3995if Americans were told they are attacking the country to the north they would start shooting guns at the moon
I think Canadians get distracted by the high drama in the USA and by the time they're done looking at that, they're exhausted and need a break from politics. And our politics looks so tame by comparison.
@@mistygirl3995 Reread Odinsday's comment. It says Americans are more informed about WHO THEY ARE VOTING FOR......They aren't voting for a Canadian
I must say, capturing lightning and running it through a copper wire to light a room would indeed be extraordinary! I really hope we don't elect this fool. I know my vote won't support him.
I usually end up voting NDP (Orange) or Liberal (Red). Most of the time it depends on if I know the person running or not. I've sat down and had cake and tea with my Member of Parliament; so I voted for them; I even voted for an Independent here in Newfoundland because they made the effort to get out and campaign and they where the one who felt like they represented me the most. Instead of some random person that was Conservative (Blue); but has no presence in town or even gets out to meet people.
After seeing Pierre Poilievre use QAnon and American talking points and supporting the AstroTurf'd Truckers' Protest; he played his hand that he is a Populist and him and his party will never get my vote again. He is a power cloying looser who wants to get his bag and avoid taking climate change action. Nothing good will come from that weenie.
I wish NDP had a stronger leader, but their policies have consistently been very pro-worker and pro-environmental sustainability. Basically, Tommy Douglas' party, the Father of Canadian Healthcare for All. Perhaps it is time in 2025 for NDP to form Federal government for the first time? Jagmeet MIGHT call for a leadership election, I doubt it, but it is possible. Either way, if rational voters can see how horrible PP and the Cons would be, know that Trudeau and Liberals need to be given a rest in charge - they've been in long enough - and Bloc and Greens and PPC are nowhere near popular enough to form government - maybe these progressive Canadians can focus their vote on NDP, for a historic election.
It happened in my province, Manitoba, electing the first Indigenous Premier, Wab Kinew of the NDP, it could happen Federally in 2025.
Imagine voting for liberal... LOL

Anyone who seems to have no basic understanding of how electricity is generated should maybe not be running a government.
I was going to say it's okay to be ignorant of some things, but power generation is actually one of the things that politicians have to deal with if they are going to be leading a government. Poilievre has no excuse 😭
Even if he's trying to be "poetic" it's still utterly ridiculous.
@@martin2289 true
Anyone who took that literally probably shouldn’t vote either. I get PP isn’t the hero he’s made out to be but the attacks made against him, at least in relation to the other options available, are clearly reaching on their best day.
He’s not as smart as he’s presented, but he’s literally Einstein compared to Trudeau and Singh combined.
@@nbarealtalker yah he didnt literally mean that electricians catch lightning. Its basically saying electricians do the impossible. When you understand how the grid works and how complex it is to keep everything running it really is magic. Its not just like you turn on a light and power appears. Also they bring up welders welding with their bare hands as some sorta gotcha. There is actually a video of Pierre welding and he is pretty decent. He knows a welder doesnt literally weld with their bare hands. Its really people grasping at straws and ends up making them look stupid. Actually the one other one they like to do is post a picture of him staring at a wood column and make fun of him for that. Maybe I'm weird but I find wood interesting. Its basically a record of time of the region that tree the wood came from. You can see everything the tree had to deal with. In lots of cultures they have a massive respect for wood. I have a bit of an obsession with Japanese carpentry.

Canada reacting to a problem that we don't have.
Poilievre is like a funny cartoon villain until you realize how many people he's duped hook, line and sinker. Canada is failing this IQ test in a big way.
IF Canadians do end up voting in a majority or even minority Conservative government in 2025, yes, sadly, many Canadians have been duped and Conned. However, time will tell. I know there is a decent number of Canadians who will never vote Conservative, they know the Con policies are horrendous anti-worker, pro-corporate garbage and there is nothing Conservatives can say or do to get them to vote for them.
But maybe that's why the young voters are the big focus? How many 18-25 year olds didn't get a chance to or barely got to vote in a Federal election once 2025 rolls around? Will they do their research and vote for a socially progressive party? I don't think you can teach many old dogs new tricks, so an old Conservative voter is locked in Conservative - but the 18-25 demo is up in the air.
Maybe that's why it is very good idea for The Rational National to highlight PP and the Cons more! Young people can learn. Everybody can learn, but especially those less familiar with voting.
Lib irony 😂
PP was Harper's little dog. Harper told who to bite, and PP bit them. Essentially, PP is a human chihuahua, small, loud and annoying.
Harper also only tolerated greater losers than himself around him which really tells you all you need to know about Pollieve.
A 'human chihuahua'!!! Too funny!😆
Politicians get voted out these days , they don't get voted in . PP will win without a clear platform and without answering a single question that requires detail. That's Trudeau's fault for giving him the ammunition to use all the way to victory. If Trudeau was doing a good job , PP wouldn't be able to do that.

2:05 it's worth pointing out that he voted against gay marriage while his own gay father was in attendance
He claims he has learned and grown since then. That at 44, he is not the man he was at 25... but people that know him best have said that he has not changed one bit since he was in his late teens.
Has any reporter ever asked him about that? "Hey, Pierre, why did you vote against gay marriage when your father is openly gay?"
@@coolioso808 The corporate media in Canada support the Conservatives who have more money to pay them, and the government subsidized one is afraid of looking too partisan, so they avoid actually calling members of the opposition party out on their BS.
Also it was his adopted father. There is nothing known about Pierre's biological father other than he got a 16 year old pregnant.
I guess that makes him a bastard?

Does PP still want to replace the Canadian dollar with Bitcoin, if elected? Because that's LITERALLY what he was promising to do a couple years ago. This dude is a guaranteed lock to be the worst PM we've ever had.
Trudeau will not leave without a fight, especially dealing with Pee Pee.
That is the thing that does not make any sense. All they had to do was pick someone that wasn't controversial or offensive, and would have coasted to a win off people being tired of Justin. Instead they pick someone that will actually make people second guess wanting to actually move on from Justin.
That is the right way to spell pay cheque here in Canada.

The funny thing about the Capital Gains thing is that people actually think the tax is 66%.
Its the inclusion rate, meaning if you make 250K in cap gains you have gains taxed at 50% up to 250K at each marginal bracket and then every dollar above 250K is taxed at the highest marginal bracket and the inclusion rate is 66%.
It just screams that no one understands how taxes work.

Also, his initials are PP ("pee pee") indicating he is a waste and the words "oil", "lie" and "PO" which can be an abbreviation for "Purchase Order" as in his many corporate donors are "ordering his purchase" to represent their interests in Parliament, especially if he can dupe enough Canadians into voting him in as PM.

It may seem that way right now because of the polls, but we're still a year or more out from the next election.

Then you are clearly content with having a federal government who makes abysmal mistakes 9 years after their election. And here we are now in Canada. If youre still voting liberal, you are clearly okay with monumental mistakes from the federal government. Like how we have more debt allotted in 9 years than all PMs terms combined.

And, to any Americans who think progressives (NDP) should split from the more corporate Dems (Liberals) ... what you'd end up with is Republicans (Conservatives) being able to win the majority of seats, with little more than a third of the vote.

This is why the lack of STEM professionals who find their way into elected office is a problem.
Its all lawyers and a bunch of former journalists with a few people from other fields mixed in.
@@pin65371 hence the problem. Having electricians and engineers and professors and nurses and waitresses becoming elected officials would help.
@@cyberneticqualanaut7207 totally agree.. having people that actually understand how things work and knowing what questions to ask would save a lot of money. I'd like to see each of the ministers roles held by people that actually have experience in that field. Our current finance minister has a degree in Russian history. The previous minister of health was a graphic designer.
Yeah, see, that rarely happens because STEM professionals want to apply their knowledge and skill to contribute to society, usually, and not play politics. That's why it is usually lawyers, because at least they have studied law, and they are going to be 'lawmakers.' Doesn't leave a lot of 'good guys' in there but sometimes a few squeak in, like Demetri Lascaris who ran for Greens and is a lawyer, he has a RUclips channel worth checking out, a stand up guy.
Pollieve is basically a more charismatic DeSantis, which some people will love and I will despise.
The thing that blows my mind is that how much anger there is that the rich are going to more taxes... like i pay tax on 100% of my income... but heaven forbid these fat cats pay tax on 66% of their capital gains...
I think part of it is that there are boomers out there with a house that's paid off and they'll probably have some money left when they die and now they and the their kids are looking at their inheritance going down the drain. I'm sure there are creative accounting ways around this but a lot of these people aren't aware of that. Though I'm sure the people they are really trying to catch with this are aware of the ways around that.
There are trillions of dollars of generational wealth to be transferred from the boomers over the next decade and a bit. It is that wealth which will be taxed in the hands of younger people today. Same case for anyone selling a rental/vacation property. There is much money to be made by governments here. I doubt the Conservatives will repeal this one.

Mark Carney would make a good Liberal leader
Absolutely! Commented on this in the comments! Mark Carney saved Canada from a catastrophe mortgage banking crisis in 2008 like in the USA. Why do you think England gave him the position of Governor of Bank of England.
Yes, but the vocal minority is given its runway through the corporate media. They are loud but not the majority
It is so sad that he will be the next PM of Canada.His biggest donors are real estate developers!
Pierre has never worked a day in his life, he has literally been a politician since the day he graduated university.
I'd rather have someone with experience than a sub drama teacher that slept with a minor lol.. Use your brain.
He reminds me of Mike Johnson
tbf An electrician that captures electricity from the sky WOULD be extraordinary ;p
and dead
He looks like a wimpy version of the speaker guy getting fleeced by his own party 😂
How does his office staff keep him away from the electrical outlets and for that matter why?
He is a danger to our country.
He was also a big supporter of the 'Freedom convoy'.
Normalize worker owned co-ops and Ⓐctive unions. Workers make North America run, workers should run North America☭.🇨🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦
Stop censoring our comments RUclips!
@@piku5637 I have noticed some of my comments go missing, most were not even offensive to anyone, and if they were, it was to the subject material, not the creator.
I would get notifications of a comment in a thread I made a comment in, took a look and my comment was gonzo. Weird.
So you are saying workers should put all their money at risk in order to have a job?
@@danieltaylor3396??? You clearly only hear what u want to hear
@@SteepWriter If workers are in charge of running a company, it can't be done without running the risk of the company failing and thus costing the workers their invested money because that is what happens to the owners of a company regardless if the owner is a businessman or a worker.
My brother in law is an electrician.. Never seen him harness lightning out of the sky.. He's never flown a kite... Certainly not ordinary.....pretty talented crafting things from wood as well Outgoing personality... wicked sense of humour..always has cold beer in the fridge.
Poilieve is also like Tucker Carlson a member of the bad son club.
I firmly believe that Rogan was at a party when Trudeau walked in the room and suddenly got everyone's attention.
Hence, Rogan's hard-on for Poilievre
NDP is still the party with the best policies, but they (like Liberals) sorely need new leadership.
Singing a great leader. People’s problem is that he’s not white.
I like Jagmeet Sing, I think he’s delivered on policy for us. Somehow he hasn’t connected. I’m not sure why
@@mikemacmillan778 He hasn't though. That's the issue.
He's constantly out in the media talking about how he's going to do X, Y or Z... but there's never any actual bills up for a vote to do them.
He says he'll lower grocery costs... does nothing.
He says he'll lower gas prices... does nothing.
He says he'll get more subsidized housing... does nothing.
He says he'll raise federal benefits for disability and other things... does nothing.
He has gotten SOME stuff passed, which is good. But MOST of the things he's constantly yelling on Twitter about have never been more than empty promises.
that would be greens... other parties take greens policies. ndp are con light with their back stabbing and lies.
@@mikemacmillan778 sadly, people aren’t ready…. I’ve heard that when Tommy Douglas went up against at Trudeau, he would have won if the campaign hadn’t played out on tv.
Danielle Smith is the Donald Trump of Canada. Both are terrible politicians.
Please elaborate
The "electricity...copper wire...sky" thing kills me every time because I believe he's attempting to conjure images of the work Nikola Tesla and Alexander Graham Bell did in laying the foundations for the electrical/communication grid we have today.
It exemplifies how little PP actually knows about how things function in our society/civilization.
Tesla & Bell were more akin to an electrical engineer than an electrician. But even that isn't close; they were masterminds, genius inventors and creators of technology. Without their contributions the entire human civilization would likely not be where it is.
Not to poop on electricians, their job is integral and important but it's a bit lofty to compare the guy following the manual/procedures vs the guys who created the tech the manuals/procedures are written for.
Sean Fraser is awesome! Nova Scotia strong
The Milhouse reference. Lol! 🇨🇦
That is a very accurate parody when I heard that. He is a Facist Milhouse from the Simpsons
I'd love to hear about Canadian politics more! Please!
And if anyone has any good suggestions on people who do focus on Canadian politics I'd love to know them
I agree, Trudeau should throw a wrench into the next race, pass the baton, throw Pee Pee off his game.
My personal favourite potential Liberal Party leadership candidate to succeed embattled incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would be Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.
How can this guy be considered to be qualified to run Canada, I can not believe that Canadians be so duped.
Both candidates have their flaws. For me, being a first-generation Canadian with immigrant parents, we've always been liberal, but I've started to question that because of how unaffordable everything has become. Housing, food, gas, everything. It's a mess. It wasn't this way consistently, and even though Pierre Poilievre didn't do much as housing minister (I don't think he was a housing minister for very long though to do much work - I believe he still built 90000 homes according to a recent question period), I can remember housing during the Harper government made it somewhat tolerable to own a home. At least I remember that finding a job in this market wasn't impossible. After 9 years of Trudeau saying the same verbatim, I'm tired of it because he hasn't delivered on anything he's told.
We can't keep blaming the global economy for the state of Canada. From what it sounds like, I don't believe the conservatives have much of an environmental plan, which I find important to have. At the same time, I'm afraid I have to disagree that hiking up a carbon tax by 23% on April 1 is the way to reduce emissions. Entire countries have been established by increases in taxes. The "carbon rebate" Trudeau says gives more money to Canadians, has been debunked by the parliamentary budget officer, who has stated that they spun his fact to benefit them and 6/10 Canadians lose money even with the rebate.
Some key things that the Liberal Party brings up are their building 4 million homes. They want to build this by 2031, and this goal includes private company commercial real estate, so I'm not really sure it's as ambitious as we think.
Unfortunately, neither politician has an excellent social record. Pierre Poilievre voted against gay marriage, which was confirmed when he was 25, and although he apologizes for it now, we never really know how he feels about it (but his dad is gay, so Idk). Trudeau on the other hand has had a lot of financial scandals with trust funds, he also, like you folks said is pretty fake, and let's not forget about his blatant cultural appropriation and blackface. I'd say neither politicians are the best when it comes to their public record.
Party Poll Favors:
Conservatives: 43%
Liberals: 23%
NDP: 18%
Bloc Quebecois: 7%
Green Party: 5%
The remaining 4% were not comfortable voting. I would love to see what other people think and if anyone is in a similar boat to me, where they're at a crossroads but leaning more conservative.

Pierre Pollyanna is dangerous..
In French, Poil = Hair and Lièvre is Hare...
This guy scares the byjesus out of me. Sorry, I couldn't watch it all.
I often wonder how PP would of handled the pandemic... would he of procured vaccines and make them available.. What would of his game plan been.. What's his game plan for the next pandemic
he’s for smaller government so expect lots of cuts to basic necessities.
Poilievre sounds like Caitlin Jenner 😭😭 especially @3:05
As a Canadian, I’m EXTREMELY worried that he will get elected. If my HRT gets affected, I’ll be grabbing a brick and doing a stonewall 2.
The reasons why the oil lobbyists look like they are not sweating is because we believe that challenging big oil with a shittier energy sources with batteries is going to make everything better that's why big oil is winning
He Marvel's at the working class ability to weld without gloves and catch lightning
It is so sad that he is likely going to be the leader of Canada
One last pontification:
We are seeing PP effectively campaigning while the Libs are focused on governing (agree with them or not).
I am interested to see, once their machine turns on, what they're going to highlight about him.
The man and the party are dangerous and we need much more content covering the danger he poses.
Pierre Poilievre is the Dollarama version of Donald Trump, minus the charisma. More like DeSantis with his level of cruelty towards those who rely on social safety net programs and we know that because Poilievre has decades of on the record comments opposing social safety net programs which millions of Canadians rely on everyday.
someone referred to pp as ‘no name trump’😊😊😊
Fascist Milhouse is my new favorite nickname for PeePee.
he is the canadian ted cruz, while looking like mike mohnson.
The man who runs faster than a speeding bullet, isn't just a man, he is a SUPER man.
Love the logical fact based conversation. I have such a hard time with the freedumb/anti-queer/conservative movement. I wish the PC’s would get back to being conservative and working with other parties but they have alienated themselves.
logic based? where in Canada did they find any graves of residential children? why aren't we still in covid lock down? or did it just go away? yall are a backwards bunch
You guys didn't learn from the USA's mistakes?
Silly conservatives with big egos live everywhere unfortunately!
Thry don't see them as mistakes
No, capital gains applies to 66% of gains above 350 000. It is not 66%, it is 66% of the regular tax you would pay. Canadians don't pay tax on 100% of the capitals gains like americans
He is such a bad person
How so ?
David, your summary of the Canadian political situation is right on the money eh!!!
The sad part about the NDP is the there are MANY in Québec and Ontario (not to mention almost EVERYBODY in Alberta and Saskatchewan) who won't vote for them just because their leader is Sikh.
Why if I may add?
Alberta is a red neck Province like a red Republican State. They are racists
@@AweSean-wv3xo True... because racist
@@AweSean-wv3xo Good question! He's was born in Canada, played hockey, and we don't have to many arguing against his pressuring the Liberals to pass the dental and pharmacare laws that benefit those who can afford neither.
I think that it's part of the problem. But I think the bigger thing is he doesn't get people fired up, the only time the NDP does well is when their leader can get people fired up.
The biggest issue world wide is cost of living. Incumbent parties will be under pressure due to the affordability crisis.
