I just love this new kinder, gentler Pierre who learned so much humility from his embarrassing election defeat and his even more embarrassing need to steal a seat to get back in the HOC and continue his cushy taxpayer-paid lifestyle. (Not!)

Don’t be fooled by “pollsters” who torque numbers between elections to try and construct a false narrative, then slowly align their numbers with reality as an election draws near so they appear to be authentic and accurately representative.

Dystopian Pierre does Canada and Canadians an injustice.

Disingenuous is the right word! I'd like to see a review of "official" residences. We're providing a 19 room mansion and all the trappings to the leader of a party that in effect lost an election. You come second and win the jackpot! Time for an overhaul!

Judging by what we see publicly think about the extent of "covert" influencing. So much of what we hear from some politicians in this country mimics the regime south of us.

CBC - Why are you letting Mr. Poilievre do his daily spouting of lies. This is not an election period. This is not news, and it is certainly not the truth. This is just not right and is not fair reporting. Please do better. 🇨🇦

It worked for Trump. What PP doesn't get is Canadians see through the B---S---! But he can keep it coming. The more he speaks, the bigger the political hole he'll dig for himself. And does he have his updated security clearance yet? If not, why not??

Concentration/focus. For me it was a paperclip. (Not that I'm anywhere near the P.M.'s league, but I understand how a prop, albeit small, can help with focus.)

No credibility talking about affordability or government spending. None! IMHO

This isn't something that you "mock" It's not funny. It's not the sign of just a dumb-ass in the White House. This is another example of an American world view where negotiations with fascism is considered okay. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Liberals don't have to do anything then I guess; just let the CONservatives campaign. The cons do it to themselves with their rhetoric.

It was the right call, and still is, for individual Canadians who need to step up on behalf of their country. One of the ways we can do that is our buying power. My elbows are still up and will continue to be as long as needed!

The Canadian Parliament building illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag in solidarity with Ukraine, commitment to democracy, and as a sign of eternal friendship and unity. Nearly 1.3 million Ukrainians call Canada home. #3E #StandWithUkraine

The image shows the Canadian Parliament building illuminated in the colors of the Ukrainian flag (blue and yellow) at night.

My guess is he knows that. But like Republicans in the U.S., he's counting that his base won't! He's a master of KISS...keep it short and simple. That way he gets clicks and comes off to some as knowledgeable and hard-hitting. All for show. No depth.

If this is what flailing looks like, I'd say flailing is a good thing!! (I'm still stuck on a column from the Toronto Star last week. I'll stop now.)

Unspeakably sad! And the choice of location is not accidental IMO.

Yep, either Stornoway is not big enough for some privacy or she wants to get away from ... Also, I read someone's comment today that it may have been a stunt to promote her book. No interest apparently until she advertised she was looking for a room. Either way, pretty sad.
