I only made it to the part of the video where the hard-working dad in his big truck has just finished driving through a beautiful, sunny, all-white northern Albertan suburbia and gassed up his truck with affordable, Canadian-made energy before driving past majestic fields of Canadian Canola crops on his way to service an oil well...when the cringe just became too much for me to hold on any longer and I turned off the video. Sad that I missed the part about fighter jets.
Anyway though, I'm going to steal a comment I saw on this video elsewhere on the internet that is absolutely fucking perfect---Pierre Poilievre isn't Canada's Trump. He's our JD Vance.
Two sectors were responsible for the majority of corporate capital gains earned in Canada over five years but added no new jobs over that time span, a new study found.
This tracks with what many on here predicted. That the more the Canadian electorate starts getting to know Poilievre and thinking about the next election, the more their visceral dislike would start kicking in.
That said, unless Trudeau unexpectedly has it in him to follow in Biden’s footsteps, and an unexpectedly good candidate steps in off the bench to replace him with a minimum of infighting, the best I’m daring to hope for is that Poilievre will be limited to a minority and unable to find a governing partner.
But in terms of the time he’s spent on center stage as PM, he’s hideously ancient.
He’s just shy of the ten year mark, and in pretty much every case in recent history, that’s the hard limit for when the Canadian electorate is thoroughly sick of a Prime Minister’s shit.
