Food for thought always, good column, Brian Lilley. However, I still have a major problem with how Mark Carney even got elected, though mainstream media ignores this issue completely. The fact that he has stolen every single tactic of Poilievre's is staggering, especially since the Liberal fool supporters think he is next to God. Disenchanted does not even cut it. We shall see what happens. Apparently he is also a Palestine supporter. In any event we shall see what happens in the not too distant future as the Conservatives hold the Liberals feet to the fire.

I think Pierre has the best shot to beat the liberals of any conservatives

I don't think so. He is not liked by millions of Canadians. He was not able to change his tactics when faced with a new liberal leader. 3 strikes you're out: riding, PM'ship and 20 point lead. Yesterday's man IMHO.

The reason Pierre lost that election was Trump interference. Canadian liberals are obsessed with fear and “safety”and voted that way. Conservatives voted for a better Canada, and like in the past, fear won.

Yup the liberals are still running the fear of the Covid hoax and a scam jab that killed and maimed more than the flu ever did if they had half a brain they would be going after all the murderous people that pushed the poison jabs after knowing it was never safe or effective

And don’t forget the climate scam… #petroresources are the cure to climate, and not a curse at all. That is why you will never see an anti-petroresource politician / protestor actually walk their talk and abstain from their benefits.

The climate movement is powered by a blend of Treason and Hypocrisy.

Kind of hard to lose and election when it was rigged/stolen before it even started, kind of like how Carney the Clown won the liberal leadership, it was rigged. Time to wake up Canadians, elections are being stolen/rigged all over the world and have been for a few years now.

Canada has only one option. Kick kebek out or separate. Yes, Canada is broken, but why? Xenophobic - bigoted – Marxist - Commie - kebek controls the nation, Ottawa. 100s of billions stolen out of Alberta and Sask., BC, Ont. since the 1960s, 70s.... Equalization (money laundering into kebec) Program became entrenched in his commie charter = Proud communist Pierre Trudeaus constitution of 1982. Since then, 24 years of Liberal governments have made things worse. 18 years of 'Conservative' governments, the exact same thing. Kebeks Charter = 10s of billions stolen out of Ottawa yearly and funneled into quebec and other metis (they are not french) – towns and companies, all across the country every year, all disguised as grants, subsides, equalization, transfers, bilingualism - (code for french) – only outside quebec while kebec bans our language, history = bills 22, 178, 101, 96... multiculturalism - (only outside kebec), massive government growth, control, censorship, taxes and debt. Canada now just liberals masquerading as conservatives, the rest, communists masquerading as liberals. ’French power’ in all provinces. They will not give up power, control of Ottawa, the country. They are revising, eliminating our BNA history all over the country as they rename all things English, Scottish...sick. Election fraud? YES, guaranteed. Why? Well simple, they lie about everything else. Welcome to Marxist - commie Canada where your vote is meaningless. Repeal the charter. Stop all immigration. F kebek.....or get out. They are crooked and corrupt to the core. Decades of greed, lies.... Why? Xenophobic = Bigoted = Socialist = kebec runs the nation. $ This IS the problem, and No party, NO ‘leader’ will touch it. ‘Conservatives’ Poliver, Ford ?...nothing, not a word. “First quebec, and Ottawa and then the entire country…” ‘French power..." PET. Seriously, how do we get these lying, greedy bigots out of Ottawa?

I will continue to stand behind Pierre. Hind sight is 20-20 and Trump derangement syndrome will play out eventually and the NDP may rise enough to take some liberal votes. I don’t think Carney can implement the conservative platform. Liberals don’t think like conservatives. His cabinet is worn out from 10 years of lazy leadership and horrendous policies. The chickens are coming home to roost.

And to my fellow Canadians in the west, I apologize for Ontario Liberal voting boomers. Many of us are conservative.

Was the Conservative Party truly united?? The Reform party was excellent in a grassroots way, especially in Alberta. Conservatives federally is a different story completely I feel. Regardless we need Pierre Poilievre CPC federally as Prime Minister!!

It was not and never will be united. Reform was the only hope. The only real Conservative party.

Instead of considering replacing Poiliviere which is a terrible idea they should be planning for the next election and focusing on how to win more seats.

Brian, the Liberals won the election thanks to their agent Jagmeet Singh acting to destroy NDP support and shift it completely to his employer, the LPC. Every good Khalistani terrorist supporter is also a staunch Liberal supporter as the Liberal Party is dedicated to supporting every violent terrorist organization willing to fund them while seeking safe sanctuary and protection from successive Liberal governments

Carney has put us in 1.3 trillion in debt. This failed banker ( evidently) will fall when broke Canadians wake up.

MSM and The Sun is regrettably part of that bias ( reprinting AP and CP “ press releases” are not going to help him.)

Popular MSM chatter today is :“ Canadians reject USA tourist travel because of tariffs “.

Sure. 60 cent dollar to buy US has nothing to do with it?

Check this out Brian.

Normal travel up north to Muskoka and Georgian bay , the marinas etc is significantly down. Like totally. Weekends are like weekdays.

Many Canadians don’t have any disposable income left. The country is broke.

Why don't we just face the fact that Canada is to "wide" to be ruled by one party(actually 2 if you include the country of Quebec). The west obviously needs to separate if we are ever to have taxation with representation.

For instance why does the east coast get there ferries paid for buy the Federal government but B.C. doesn't. Why does Quebec hold so much sway over the west yet on the west coast we have places like Richmond where you can walk into malls that don't even use any English never mind French.

Anyway I am just screaming into the void. Peace ✌️ out.

I really take issue with how low hanging fruit it is to speak negatively about Pierre after the fraud and cheating the Liberal party did. It makes me think less of the moral fabric of individuals that are that shallow and shortsighted.

There are legitimate questions about Pierres leadership however, I do not believe there is anything resembling a crisis. Most of the noise I hear comes from those that do not support the Conservative party, or left leaning, legacy media who are trying to creatre a crisis. I see the same thing with the BC media and John Rustad. He is the best opposition leader in recent memory and got the most votes since Mulroney. The fact is Trump and the NDP won the election for Carney, and the CPC may have to wait a bit longer, and work a bit harder. When a potentially better leader comes onto the scene, something that doesn't exist at the moment, they should look at it, but panicking and changing leadership for the sake of change, is stupid, and something that the CPC has become famous for, and the Liberal Party of Canada and legacy media would love nothing more.

Unfortunately, Carney and the Liberals will continue with grand promises, mirroring Conservative policy ideas, but advance them at just the right pace to keep the carrot dangling in front of weary/poor Canadians so they'll continue to accept a Liberal minority government, yet never actually implementing anything or getting anything other than a solar farm or two built. All the while, Liberal insiders will siphon off what they can from government green contracts and give away more to natives with their hands out.

With everyone east of Saskatchewan doting liberal or socialist (except NFLD) it won’t matter who leads the Conservatives. The east has drunk the kool-aid and bought into the Carnage party line. This country is doomed. Our only hope in the west is to walk away from this garbage socialist dogma which has destroyed our country. Am I a traitor? NO I AM NOT but I can no longer tolerate the direction these WOKE monkeys are taking this country. I wholeheartedly support a western Canada united under the traditional conservative values that once made Canada great. Let the east wallow under their socialist choices and May God have mercy on them. They know not what they are asking for.

Maybe Poilievre should talk about ghoulish Nova Scotia pediatric sex organ surgeries in the news paid for with equalization payments? He is still in lala land.
