- Carney starts with a trip to France/UK as his first foreign visit breaking the tradition of going to the US first - makes a point to make Europe a key partner.
- Carney then jumps the line (ahead of the US) and buys Australian's radar system.
- Carney then says he'll only speak to the Trump if and when he shows Canada the respect we deserve including dropping the nonsense of the 51st state
- Trump gets mad on social media about Canada and EU partnering up - calls Canada a country and threatens more tariffs in retaliation of more tariffs.
- Trump calls for a talk.
- Trump calls Carney Prime Minister and doesn't mention the 51st state.
VRYALT: Carney's a cuck!
Have you noticed these are just empty platitudes and zero action has happened? I see 25% tariffs coming still...not impressed
‘The wheels are off’: Senior Conservatives think the Poilievre campaign needs a reset
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s campaign desperately needs a reset, according to some veteran Tory campaigners and strategists.
The question is whether the former frontrunner for Canada’s next prime minister and his inner circle will acknowledge and address that Donald Trump, not carbon taxes or crime, is the ballot box question, the sources tell Global News.
The world changed with U.S. President Trump’s election last year, but seven veteran Conservative campaigners warned Poilievre appears to be fighting yesterday’s fights.
“These aren’t little waves lapping at the shore. The Trump stuff is as serious as tsunamis crashing through trees and buildings and bulldozing everything in their path. They have wiped the entire issue set off the table for most of the electorate, and it’s now just this,” said Kory Teneycke, Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s campaign manager and a former communications director for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
...
“I can’t think of a Conservative campaign that’s seen the wheels come off so fast and so hard and so early. (Thursday was) Day Four, and everyone is already running around with their hair on fire,” said a third source, a veteran of numerous federal campaigns.
“They did not prepare. The ground game is a complete and utter mess,” the source added, referring to the campaign’s organization and communication with local candidates.
The problem is probably the volunteers.
It was just yesterday that I was saying the Cons seemed like they were throwing the campaign away with what they were doing so not surprised their internals are saying the same thing.
The Cons have a good ground game and their rallies are drawing big crowds, but they're ceiling is ~40%. It was enough to win a majority in 2011 when the NDP and Liberals split the left of centre vote. They need the NDP to do better than they are to have a shot of forming government. It probably didn't help that they called Jagmeet names for the last several months as it probably burned any remaining opportunity to work together to keep the Liberals down.
The Cons have the most support among men under 50, but they're losing ground in all other demographics. Their inner circle don't seem to be willing to acknowledge this.
David Frum was on the Hub pod this week again and he had a really good final observation about the problem with growing political polarization - men and women are not partnering up like they have in past generations which has created less stability in society: https://youtu.be/LWuXUapkr6E?si=hCSM5L1Slo_Wt3Zm
You won't even believe how happy I am to see PP sweating bullets.
After Trump's post on Truth, eg// being happy, addressing Mark as PM..... PP's entire gang must be trying to reset.
really enjoying eating popcorn and watching how he pulls this off. I would have thought he had a chance if Trump still bashed Carney but this time, it's quite refreshing.
Wow, a reddit post. I am totally sure this actually happened
It happened in Nanaimo a mill my dad worked at for many years. The mill was running at the time he was there. Some customers work at the mill. I will ask them next time I see them.
Also remember when cons made fun of JT for being a drama teacher (also taught math and computers) Something that takes a degree and another year of education. Why do they get upset when people mention the only job pp has ever had was being a paper boy and it took him 11 years to get a degree?

gas is $1.95 this morning, so in a few days we'll be so lucky to have $1.80 gas finally?
To confirm, yes, it will go down once the carbon tax is removed. It will go down further on the 15th due to the switchover from winter blend gas to summer gas blend. I swear, logical thinking doesn't exist here.
Hmmm, I wonder if some people understand now why PP has not obtained his top security level security clearance.

I love the timing that Trudeau got rid of the head of CSIS and now suddenly this allegation suddenly surfaces.
According to CSIS, the CPC may not have known about the potential or actual interference from India—unlike the LPC leadership, which was aware of the connection between China and MP Han Dong, yet still appointed him to run for MP. Even the LPC election campaign director admitted that CSIS officials had briefed them on the allegations regarding Han Dong.

I actually never really understood people's criticism about JT being a school teacher, these are the same people who pretend to "value" the children.
The dude could've easily went the typical route -- lawyer, consulting via some business degree, instead he went to school to get paid fuck all as a teacher.
If anything, I'd say that's a pretty benevolent career path on his part, for someone of his family's wealth to go that modest route is pretty endearing in my opinion.
It was always a weird critique -- similar to how some went after Obama for becoming a community organizer. The dude was a Harvard lawyer, he could've been some bigshot corporate lawyer making big bucks, instead he decided to work for pennies within his community.
"What a loser, he didn't want to make money?"
Only conservatives with their fucked up morals would see that as a bad thing.

On the flip side why would anyone worth 10’s of millions and ultimately 100+ million dollars need to grind in the private sector?
The guy was the ultimate silver spoon baby and you can tell in those early interviews where he said he’d never get into politics this isn’t some crazy driven professional, he was a ski bum gliding through life on his families fortune.
Like.. gotta kind of be objective with this lol..
Manic could spin his justifications far enough that he’d be blowing JT and he would be able to come up with some excuse as to why it was right

Do you know any teachers? If you think being an elementary and high school teacher is easy, you're nuts. It's a tough job, and you're paid fuck all.
Becoming a teacher for children and teenagers is certainly not a career path someone undertakes if they're looking to "glide" through life
You have a weird way at looking at the world if you see it that way. He could've easily not worked whatsoever, went straight into politics like Peepee, or take some cushy board seat using his family's connections.
JT's critique is the exact same they made at Obama.
How dare you want to help your community, fucking losers.
I know 2-3 teachers I see on a regular basis and I’m not just saying this
The only downside is dealing with dumb kids and their dumber parents. Outside of that all of them did it for the summers off and flexibility of the position.
Back when JT was a “teacher” things were even easier.
What’s the old saying? Those that can’t do teach? Outside of a professor at university level I’ve never run into a teacher and thought this person is so incredibly well educated or such a brilliant thinker lol..
I had a high school science teacher who didn’t “believe” in dinosaurs.

You miss the point. Gas was 160.9 less than 15 days ago in Nanaimo. Now it's 174.9. With the carbon tax removed Petrocan is going to make more money.
