I find everytime Pierre opens his mouth i learn something. When he is asked a question he answers it. His answer is easy to understand. It has a beginning, middle and end. It makes sense, no word salad that leaves you wondering what the answer is. I am so happy he talked about his family. He is grounded, humble and kind yet strong. I have never heard him bash the LGBT community ever. People I know have accused him of it. Well the liberals can stop using that lie against him. Pierre Povierer is a good person, he has good values and is down to earth. We need to get back to sensible thinking. Stop focusing on our differences and focus on the things we all share. Pierre is the person along with his team to balance Canada 🇨🇦

That podcast was a very emotional and thoughtful experience. I was blown away.

Thank you for opening up and getting personal with us today, Brian. That wasnt easy. Im a parent as well and we try our best to not post a picture or even anything about our kids online. You never know these days. So, I completely agree and can relate.

We have a autistic child (no more) 51 years old now assistant self living. The most generous person I know determined to pay her own way from a disability pension. No tv, never taken a alcohol drink.

Volunteers,

We are 82, yes we worry what will happen.

Beautiful interview. Scanned the posts of the lunatic haters on X. Quite something.

I can relate to Pierre on many levels of his conversation and speeches.

Tolerance, of others and what their going thru is a good quality to foster..but as you say, some see it as an opportunity for what ever.

If we do share personal information. its because were just proud. So why not share risky yes. Comments..

Pierre is a family man, intelligent, and protective.. those qualuties spread over to our professional life..

he makes a good politician. Relatable.

Thank you, Sir! Thank you, thank you!

I have watched the complete interview and I was both amazed and confirmed in my belief that PP is a good person. Oh, I don't mean that I am necessarily a Conservative but rather that he, like so many of us, just loves his children to bits. That is the confirmation part as that is what we as parents are supposed to do. The amazement came at just how open he was about Valentina given his previous reluctance to talk about his kids.

It was a great interview and showed him terrifically well.

Why not be a conservative? You can’t actually support the sociopath Carney?

Ken Schultz's avatar

KB what I meant is that my praise of PP arose not because of my conservative beliefs but rather that I felt confirmed in my belief that he was simply a good person and that he, like far and away the majority of us, really loves his kids so very much.

So, not whatsoever a supporter of (ug!) MC.

Pierre continues to reveal to us his values in life. The love of his family, the interest in the lives of others, his knowledge of Canadian history and the world, his integrity as an individual and compassion for others.

We can only hope and pray that he will continue to stand up for us as Canadians and win the battles of policy changes that are in our country’s best interest.

Thank you for this wonderful insightful podcast!!

Those drugs almost destroyed our eldest. He was only 6. This came about shortly after his MMR injection. Removed that poison. He is thriving with a very high IQ and with 2 degrees.

Yes, i researched it and though omg.. nope.. he needed an enrichment class.. that they offer now. He was bored..

Happy for you! Good..

So well written Brian, and your right “the haters” are always out in full force.

The part that got me was him talking about his mother supporting him to meet his birth mother. I also think he did very well handling the gotcha questions about systemic racism etc. Personally, i think it was a slimy thing to try and corner him on.

Thanks for sharing. I rarely share in public about my kids for the same reasons. I am blessed to be Mom to five amazing individuals who all have some level of “disability.” Three of them are diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. They have turned me into a lifelong advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.

I have a partner with an autistic child. Her standard line that she takes comfort in is "Look at Martin, he turned out ok." A joke...ish.

As a teacher who works with autistic students I can relate that there are some frustrating moments but also many times when these students touch my heart in ways that can’t be described. I am grateful for the lessons they teach me. Thank you and Pierre for sharing. ❤️

This is what the MMR Vax does to our Children. In addition to other experimental shots and toxins.
