@MarcLevesqueEco @acoyne Unfortunately, the traditional intellectual conservative movement has been supplanted by the base conservatives that play to rage validation.
Until we return to talking about actual ideas vs gotcha soundbites… the LPC will be Canada’s natural ruling party.
English
Excellent article by @acoyne .These are the questions the CPC should be asking instead of their crap about Carney doing this to enrich his capitalist friends at the expense of the proletariat (oops, I mean « working Canadians ») theglobeandmail.com/gift/fcbddb767…

I'm in a cranky fucking mood this morning. Don't make me go all war room on you.

@MarcLevesqueEco @jenhassum Unfortunately, simple conspiracy theories are where simple minds gravitate. It’s a Law of the Lowest Common Denominator thing.
English
@jenhassum I worked for TD economics for 10 years and was responsible for the Canadian economic forecast. Never did anyone from the government or bank management try to influence what I produced. As far as the forecast went, I was completely independent. Stop the conspiracy crap.
English
Yes, the notion that private banks are neutral is a funny ha ha joke.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
David Cochrane: Are you saying trade unions should be involved in the economic forecast? Avi Lewis: Why not? Labour economists are really important for understanding things that bank economists don't see.

@DavidGamero @kinsellawarren If support of Israel and fighting antisemitism far outweighs support of party, then how can one support the LPC currently which, at best pays lip service to those issues?!?
English
@stock_guy1 @kinsellawarren Support of Israel and fighting antisemitism far outweigh party support. If you don’t understand how that is or why, don’t worry… it’s ok.
English
@DavidGamero @kinsellawarren Perhaps, it also comes some key issues that may or may not be deal breakers.
As I said, it’s ok.
English
@stock_guy1 @kinsellawarren Perhaps one day you’ll learn that most of us support a party not because we agree with every policy or detail, but because we assess the overall alignment with our beliefs.
English
@DavidGamero @kinsellawarren In my view, anyone who supports the LPC currently is not exactly a great friends of Jews or the Jewish state but if it works for you, it’s ok
English
@stock_guy1 @kinsellawarren Do you like oranges?
Just asking in case you want to compare them some apples.
English
@DavidGamero @kinsellawarren And then, does he also support the LPC?!?
English
@MarcNixon24 It’ not backwards. It’s a type of desk called a Partners Desk. This desk will have drawers on both sides as well as a place for a second person to sit and work across from the other.
English
@kinsellawarren @X Suddenly my 2 cents feels like it has more worth. 😂
English
For reasons I don't completely understand, @X sends me money every week. And what I've learned is that clicks don't affect the numbers.
Engagement does. So, keep hating, haters. You're making me rich.
English
@kinsellawarren I’m curious on your thoughts about Lewis passing on the federal seat run. My sense is it’s a mistake, although I do recognize the risk of him losing exists.
English
The only "desperation" here is Nate's. He's alienated too many people and only realized it too late. He's desperate. hilltimes.com/2026/04/22/des…
English
@kinsellawarren It’s a complete disconnect from reality and accountability.

@Smileyyeg I am not suggesting we just agree. On the contrary. We agree on what we are able accept, oppose where needed and present amendments. Show we are the government in waiting. We tried attack dog style and it failed in the last general. Politics is a nunaced martial art.
English
@DavidGamero You are not saying that though. You are arguing the CPC should just agree with Carney. Saying he is doing the wrong thing is correct: he is.
English
This is more like it.
Carney is very educated.
He is not smart though: his life is a series of failed ideas and policies, but in the WEF crowd, that is how you succeed.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Mark Carney has been wrong about every major economic question of our time. - He predicted COVID would cause deflation - He supported carbon taxes - His Net-Zero Alliance is now bankrupt and shut down - He wrote we should keep 50% of our oil in the ground - He opposed the Northern Gateway Pipeline He is an expert at making exactly the wrong call every single time.
English
@Smileyyeg Simp? No. You oppose, you present an alternate way, sell the message. Acknowledge Carney’s education rather than attack and turn it against him. Set the expectation so he hangs himself in his failure. Calling him badly educated is laughable and not working.
English
@Smileyyeg You’re comparing book smarts to street smarts - yes there is a difference. Poilievre is attacking the book smarts. No, this is not more like it. It’s more like a losing strategy. We can’t win government this way.
English
@RoyceKoop Perhaps that would be relevant if the popular vote was what elected governments. Governments are elected seats won. I would’ve preferred to see Scheer win but he fell short of what mattered.
English
The CPC under Scheer received more votes than the Trudeau Liberals in the 2019 election.
Some rejection.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Chantal Hébert: I fail to see how someone who was rejected for PM called Andrew Scheer should be the regular points person [for the Conservative Party]. Bruce Anderson: It's the single worst choice that [Pierre Poilievre] makes every day is to have Andrew Scheer out there.
English
@dubsndoo That’s cute that you really think the 87.4% leadership vote is a meaningful number.
English
Ok, now they’re just straight up making shit up. He won the leadership vote with 87.4% support. There may be some grumbling by a small minority of the caucus, but they don’t get a re-do of the vote.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Althia Raj: "There are rumblings of people trying to organize a letter that would lead to the process of having a caucus vote that would lead to the process of potentially removing Pierre Poilievre as leader."
English
A change in leadership is not a repudiation of Poilievre’s policies and/or ideas. It’s a repudiation of his ability to sell them to the voting public. Find a new leader that can sell it better and win. Nothing wrong with that.
English
@dubsndoo Actually the Reform Act which the current CPC caucus endorsed does give the re-do and at any time of their choosing.
