Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Ironically, for the average voter, his "broken record imitation" is probably one of the things that allows them to remember him and resonate with his talking points.
Remember the rule of 7 repetition? Research has shown that it typically takes 5 - 7 repetitions before something can be committed to long term memory. By closely sticking to the same messages every single god damned time, PeePee is actually deliberately and carefully driving those ideas home.
And then there is the illusory truth effect as well -- the more you hear the same false information repeated again and again, the more likely you will gradually come to believe it is actually true. And the moment people start believing those things they repeatedly hear, the sentiments resonate, and that reinforces the beliefs as well.
I'm not saying everything PeePee says is false -- Turd makes it far too easy for PeePee to ring out one zinger after another. But precisely bcos a lot of stuff PeePee says has some degree of truth to it, it becomes even easier for them to stick, and for people to believe what he is saying.

This guy takes all the pages of the Trump book with empty slogans and rhetoric, it's one of the major things I can't stand about this blowhard bastard.
He's so fucking unlikable. Can't believe we're going to have to see this fucker's face in power for at least 4 years, completely undeservedly on his part.
JT sucked, but PP has not earned his spot in the slightest.

no way in heck for her to win. No way Liberals will win - again, good luck finding candidates for local ridings to run in the liberal race - guy / girl is working hard for the salary at the party hq.
if she really wanted to improve her french she should have moved to quebec. you cant become fluent without immersion. anyway im also glad shes not running.
As if anyone would vote for that frog Champagne. If he ends up being the choice you really know the liberals are as dumb as you thought.
And what's wrong with Champagne?
Back when he was the Foreign Affairs minister, I thought he presented himself well in the well-oiled, smooth-talking politician kind of manner. (So that is both a praise and a criticism.) Of course, our foreign policy is practically non-existent, but I wouldn't put all the blame on just the Foreign Affairs minister.

No fucking duh, it was laughable that stupid bitch thought she could sniff the leadership spot.
Send her feckless ass back to some board where she can continue her trips to China and sell our country dry.

It’s the same reason why people in Quebec don’t want an anglophone. People out west won’t back a French PM. Frankly, rightfully so after you see the way someone like Turd has treated the west, the last thing anyone wants is someone like him.
He just bowed out as well so it’s moot. It looks like it will come down to Freeland and Carney. With now photos of Carney and Ghiselene Maxwell coming out lol

You can just replace his name with any name and Honda would say the same thing. Don't expect a coherent reason.

Carney about to tag in. Kind of a shame. I'd rather the libs spent a few years restructuring before making a comeback w a guy like this. Better to let Freeland go down w the ship.
COuldn't help but think while he was taking credit for saving Canada from the Subprime Mortgage crisis....didn't this guy preside as BOC Chairman over the Canadian housing bubble and the Brexit clusterfuck while BOE Chairman?
Suffice to say he comes across as quite personable on the Daily Show but then again wasn't Trudeau on this show a few weeks ago? Damn Americans so easily charmed.
Luis Fernando Galindo Ramos, 55, was arrested in Cali, Colombia on Nov. 9, 2021 and extradited to the United States today. Galindo was detained after appearing in federal court in Boston earlier today. On Aug. 19, 2021, Galindo was indicted by a federal grand jury on money laundering conspiracy, laundering of monetary instruments and engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property.

Waaat?! So how is this gonna work when PeePee makes it into the PM seat? Just by virtue of becoming the PM, he would suddenly be granted clearance?!
This is almost as fxxked up as Trump being able to avoid jail time and insurrection charges...

being in a snapshot with maxwell is not in the same league as boarding the lolita express to epstein island and calling epstein a terrific guy who likes young girls rofl
Bahaha for lefties believing there's reason for PP not obtaining security clearance.
It's all a show. Yes, everyone got their own ghost in the closet, but one that's severe enough to not able to get clearance, you'd think the libs and NDP would have dug it out already. The polls are clearly showing that Liberal and NDP are not going to do well in an election. If there's something big enough to basically push PP out of the race, do you think for even a second that they are going to hold on it? Not a chance.
PP knows his demographics and made his decisions accordingly. If anything, it's a show for his voters and his party.

Just watched this and, that's pretty good stuff there. I've never heard Carney speak so was expecting a nerdy wonk considering his background but he was pretty sharp there. His resume is top tier and his record is pretty clean and he checks a whole lot of other boxes:
- White male
- Raised in Alberta
- Ph.d in Economics (also Harvard grad with high honours)
- Ran BoC during the 2008 economic crisis and did, by all accounts, a great job with it.
- Selected as Most Trusted Canadian by Reader's Digest in 2011 (not a big honour but captures the sentiment of the day.
- Ran Bank of England
- Left leaning politics but obviously deeply familiar with banks, banking, and the financial system. If anyone in leadership knows how the machine works it's him.

All I want is someone who can be fiscally responsible while not blaming trans kids playing badminton or pooing in the wrong bathroom for our problems and no sucking the cock of a terrorist (netenyahu) or any other terrorists as a replacement for that. Is it that fucking crazy?
