Pierre Poilievre’s attacks on Mark Carney: A Masterclass in Misleading Politics – PocketNews

It's insane that major political figures are allowed to blatantly and knowingly lie without any repercussions.
Especially with modern technology, politicians should be corrected in real time whenever they regurgitate BS.
Poilievre's attacks on the carbon tax were also misleading, but they resonated with potential voters and stuck. Ditto for the weird hE's JuSt DoInG iT fOr ThE pEnSiOn allegations about Jagmeet Singh.
There's no guarantee that these won't stick as well.
- In fact, over the long term, they probably will. That's one of the reasons we'll see an election called early.
  With any luck, Pierre Poutine won't survive the leadership review after losing the election.
  
  Please don’t besmirch poutine like that
  
  over the long term, they probably will
  Yeah. Carney needs to define himself in the public's mind before the Conservatives do. So far he's benefited from being an unknown, since we can project positives onto him, but that period is ending.
  
  I thought Conservative Party rules was you don't get to be leader after losing for PM... or is the rule that you can't run again?

  We know Pierre isn't in it for the pension.
  Because he qualified for his 15 years ago at the age of 31.
All of a sudden the coward has a voice again? Crawl back into the hole you've been hiding in since Trump got sworn in.
Also the more he does it the more people see through his shenanigans.
Is it a masterclass though? Or is he finding his old standbys don’t work as well in this case?
As of today, Carney’s got more potential seats than pp.
- Did seem a bit complementary
He has no platform left because his only platform was "Fuck Trudeau"*. It's sad, but hilarious to watch.
ok, it was also "fuck carbon tax", but that's now gone for consumers so he looks even more pathetic than he already did
He's a whiny class bully.

Libs should switch leaders again just for the laughs.
