And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm a bit surprised to learn that this is getting much air play South of 49. Ottawa is usually pretty sleepy this time of year (we're all waiting for the Rideau Canal Skateway to open!) so when Trudeau resigned, it really stirred things up as members of his cabinet began eyeing their chances. Yes, Poilievre's YouTube video calmly munching an apple while he deals with an 'unfriendly' is worth a look. Steve_in_Ottawa
PP is doing a very good impression of someone trying to determine what you want to hear, and then saying that. His record, about the notvaxx, about immigration, about the trucker convoy, about gun control..... let us just say his positions on these and many other things seem to be rather flexible, depending on to whom he is speaking. After everything that has happened over the past ten years, all the scandals, betrayals, lies & omissions, and sheer incredible contempt for the electorate that has been shown in broad daylight without apology, well, it's hard to believe anything coming out of the Capital Region. As far as the apple interview goes, that was just more theatre. Like Mulder, I want to believe, it's hard to do that without feeling like an idiot somewhere down the line (over and over again).

Let us also not forget, PP is running for PM against the backdrop of the CSIS report that showed the CCP has been applying foreign-state influence to Canadian federal elections since Mulroney. That was four decades ago. Still willing to place faith in this upcoming election? The Chinese sure are. Mike in Canada
Canada swing back and forth like a pendulum. In eight years they'll be saying, "Freedom? What do we need freedom for?" again. ;-)

He's got a great way of appearing bored as he dissects his opponent's questions, in another video, munching on an apple.
ReplyDeleteHis better interviews are where he answers questions with 'yes' or 'no', without pontificating.

Voting in Canada is like voting in the US...doesn’t matter, it's all corrupt.
DeleteI'm pretty sure they voted accordingly last election, but you know how fraud works... (see US election 2020).
ReplyDeleteIf vooting made an difference it would be illegal!
