Poilievre and team might want to focus more narrowly on who they could win over by an appeal to reason.
I would not recommend that they waste much time of the demographic I live among - retired civil servants. Insulated from most hardships. They have Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids. They know very little about what Trump is or isn't really doing and the Liberals must find it embarrassingly easy to take advantage of them.
Young people who will never be able to afford what their parents had if Liberal policies continue might be a good target.
When their parents were the same age as they are, government changed hands more often. An undefeated Justin Trudeau (!) would have been unthinkable.
This happened because the balance is tipping in favour of those who depend on government for income, against those who produce goods and services in the regular market. It strangles prosperity.
So the CPC should focus on younger people who work to produce goods and services, who are open to looking honestly at what is wrong with Canada - the only country where most of us have a vote - that they could start to help fix, by voting out the Uniparty for once.
What a message that would send!
I'm not confident that the Uniparty can be voted out at this point but if it can, people who are not getting paid by the government to sit around are the only hope.
They did pull in more conservative voters, most are workers, but the problem is the left parties. The whole of left voters united to make sure conservatives did not win. They voted in record numbers but the 11million that did NOT vote were most likely the conservative base. The question is how to get the non voters to vote? Why did they not want change? In many liberal won ridings, a few thousand more conservative voters would have made a difference. Why didn't they want to stand in line for hours to vote for a change? But the whole left base banded together to vote liberal, why can't the people who complain about the state of Canada get out and vote for a change.
Has the Conservative Party rallied people in ridings on that basis? No, it just keeps losing.
Possibly too, people think that, no matter what they vote for, the courts will take it away from them. And they will be vilified in state media in the process.
More fire from the Conservatives would help.
Also, don't overlook the possibility of ballot box corruption.
Poilievre won the leadership of the CPC in Sept 2022. The first thing Liberal Dominic LeBlanc did was hammer him with 'American style politics'.....sound familiar? I would have immediately hit back with 'Better than marrying the CCP' and raise every data point on Chinese election interference and collusion at the NML in Winnipeg on the movement of dangerous pathogens from Canada to China.....Nada.
Feb. 2023....Christine Andersen, EU MP and member of AFD in Germany, has lunch with 3 Conservative MP's, (Lewis, Allison, Carrie)....Poilievre says her views are 'vile' and 'racist' and says she's not welcome in Canada. Oh really....so you don't support the idea of the Freedom Convoy, think the mandates are just fine, and let's not talk about uncontrolled mass immigration....Weak!!!
Summer 2023 Pierre came to Truro N.S. Listenend to him (safe speech), and talked with M.P. Stephen Ellis, shadow Minister of Health, about what's happening with the Winnipeg lab investigation, and more importantly about the ongoing insane covid operation being run in Canada...I also followed up with emails etc. Nada.
April 2025 went to my local CPC get together to volunteer. The candidate Jenkins is going up against Sean Fraser.....the tone for the local debate was stick to his failure at housing. Really? That's it, that's how you're dealing with the 'Man Who Fails Upwards'....what about immigration (again) and all the salient points along that path that have negatively impacted communities and the country. Nope they're going to stick with the middle ground....wouldn't want to offend anyone.
Carney is ripe for the picking, but you're going to have to get dirty. Or would you rather watch our country get strip mined and sold off. Weak, weaker and weakest....I'm done with them....bringing a knife to a gun fight don't work.
Nailed it. Pierre is going to be accused of being Trump-like and negative no matter what he does. Lean into it. Trump puts his country first. Immigration is a hot button item for Canadians. Crime is another when we see 2 tier justice. I even think some Liberals aren't comfortable with our new Authoritarian style gov't. There are so many issues and if Pierre has any chance it's to go hard on them.
Having said that...he's up against state funded media as well and Canadians have serious TDS.
James, a valid point about Anderson from Germany. I would like to think PP has learned from her and what the Carney agenda is doing to Canada. IMO the Conservative advisors are not tuned in enough to the reality of the day. The defence of Canada has to get down and dirty. Tell Canadians what Carney is doing and why ! Smear him and the Liberals with the big picture consequences ! Stand up for Canada on all levels, not just domestically ! Put it all on the line, this is trench warfare and Canadian democracy is at stake !
Conservative need to ride on the immigration file HARD. The E.U. is disintigrating to the right due to rampant illegal immigration and Canada being offered access makes us ripe to be the location deported masses go. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.
Carmen, Ford deserves a leadership review based on his Liberal boot licking ways ! A strong Conservative Party and leader in Ontario would be helpful on the Federal level.
Unfortunately, we’ll be even going further in the wrong direction. Recall the previous Liberal and NDO disastrous years. I certainly do. We never really had a chance to recuperate with Liberal federal leadership and COVID.
That's the problem though, isn't it. Politicians who engage in blood sport are proving they are not interested in the country or the people who vote for them, they are only interested in gaining and maintaining power and using any means necessary. In a truly free and democratic society, rational exchange of ideas through open debate is important.
One of the attacking points used by the Liberals has always been that Poilievre has never held a real job, he's always been a politician. It was front and centre during the last election so I am fairly certain that he knows all to well that politics is a blood sport.
It seems Canadians refuse to see the forest for the trees. They live in constant hope of a promise made and broken countless times thinking the next time will be different… it never is. There is a credible, thoughtful, smart, pragmatic aware and compassionate alternative but Canadians keep snubbing it in hope of the elusive shiny object. None is so blind as he/she who refuses to see.
I agree. Living in Ottawa, it obvious who the locals support, but they are not alone, folks from Halifax and Toronto are very similar. They listen to cbc and parrot what they hear. What bothers me most is Canadian arrogance and the belief by many Canadians, they are somehow superior to Americans as witnessed in their "Trump derangement syndrome" which extends to Pierre Polievre. They spout the same phrases without thinking about what they say. Canadians had better wake up very soon, as they have been brainwashed and bamboozled by the Carney/Trudeau liberal propaganda machine. Carney is a master manipulator and while he dismantles a once great country, they spout garbage and let it happen. The analogy of a frog in pot of boiling water is apt, unfortunately their selfish and ignorant oblivion may allow the dissolution of the country. It is a sad day. I hope the conservatives can pull it off, but they are simply not bloody minded enough to do it.
Poilievre is a nice guy. But he is the wrong man against the Carney machine. And he is no match for Trump. Neither is Carney though. Canadians have prided themselves on how nice they are. But the world has changed and let's be honest. The players at WEF are not nice. I have no idea who the person is in Canada to take on this world, at this moment. Please let me know!
He comes off as very bland. And he has no experience in the business world. As none of canada's leaders have had. And he has also not been able to convince canadian voters that they should vote for him....but other than that, he is a nice person.
Bland? Hmmm. As opposed to “uh, uhm, uh” Carney, who has a fleeting relationship with truth? O’Toole who is a passive aggressive chameleon? Scheer? Those complaining about Pierre usually cite his “tone”, “pit bull attack mode/aka aggressiveness, neither of which is bland, as problematic Too many Canadians don’t know any more about Pierre than what the media and pundits tell them. He knows more about all parts of Canada and cares more about them than our arrogant, Pecksniffian PM ever will. It’s too bad you, too, are selling Pierre short.
It's possible you are correct. I have not seen much of him. So i completely base my opinion on what i have seen. And i don't live full time in canada..i have some fallout to deal with for sure. And probably a lot more coming down the pike. But, if pierre is the man, his team needs to sell that to the voters...not to me.
When Trump roars everyone runs to Carney.. why.. hes done nothing but give a speech about how were building big, and better..hes going to europe to get more friends in the same situation. Does he think safety in numbers,? Well that. May be, but we need money.. jobs and resources to fight the "war" with Trump. I think its a game trump and carney are playing and we plus Americas are caught in the middle. They have only lined their pockets.
Im hoping Pierre stirrs the pot in the HOC on monday. We have nothing to lose.
This conversation is very weak. Canadian citizens do care about the corruption in government and institutions. We are a fake country if we don’t address the corruption and abuse of power.
I will respectfully disagree. Poilievre has put forward countless policies that the liberals have stolen from him. Carney is the one without an original thought in his head but he has TDS and a very uninformed, fearful, gullible population on his side so he seems invincible at the moment.
I don't think Carney has TDS, he has an agenda and that agenda is to establish a new world order run by people like him. Look at the backgrounds of the major leaders of the EU, they have one thing in common; banking, control of vast sums of other peoples money. Trump is getting in the way of them establishing that control.
What he has is a machine that understands how to manipulate a very uninformed, fearful, gullible population.
I didn’t express myself properly. I know Carney doesn’t have TDS but the Canadian population has a severe case of TDS and it greatly benefits Carney… that’s what I meant to say.
Poilievre and team might want to focus more narrowly on who they could win over by an appeal to reason.
I would not recommend that they waste much time of the demographic I live among - retired civil servants. Insulated from most hardships. They have Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids.

Few living things do well when infested with parasites.

Absolutely en pointe and every point
Every point 100% correct!
Thanks for your kind words! Our chance to listen to Brian and comment is a nice change from the usual BS and TDS.
I am not concerned about Trump , but I am concerned what this Cunning PM is doing
His latest stunt with the EU alliance.
Where are our leaders? This is madness , complacent Canadians are deplorable
Carney is trading our Sovereignty while giving his finger to our allies and neighbours
And no one is screaming out.
Well maybe Trump can stop this madman Carney,
Advantage Alberta Independence is getting better with Carney's bloody awful decisions for 🇨🇦and doing it without any thoughts of what Canadians want
EXACTLY!

Trench warfare at it's finest, rats and all. And keep your gas mask handy.

Agree. Especially after that letter from the Bishnoi gang was published (even on CBC)
Ford is next to be kicked out of government!!
Carmen, Ford deserves a leadership review based on his Liberal boot licking ways ! A strong Conservative Party and leader in Ontario would be helpful on the Federal level.
Agreed the Ontario Conservatives need a new leader for sure
Unfortunately, we’ll be even going further in the wrong direction. Recall the previous Liberal and NDO disastrous years. I certainly do. We never really had a chance to recuperate with Liberal federal leadership and COVID.
Somebody has to point out to Pierre that politics is not a debating society but a blood sport.
That's the problem though, isn't it. Politicians who engage in blood sport are proving they are not interested in the country or the people who vote for them, they are only interested in gaining and maintaining power and using any means necessary. In a truly free and democratic society, rational exchange of ideas through open debate is important.

If Pierre was interested in the country he’d do was has to be done to get rid of Carney. That’s the only way
It seems Canadians refuse to see the forest for the trees. They live in constant hope of a promise made and broken countless times thinking the next time will be different… it never is.

A drunken monkey with a serious mental disorder could do a better job than Carney…

But the world has changed and let's be honest. The players at WEF are not nice. I have no idea who the person is in Canada to take on this world, at this moment. Please let me know!
Why do you insist Pierre Poilievre is not the correct person? He most definitely has what it takes and is the right person.
He comes off as very bland. And he has no experience in the business world. As none of canada's leaders have had. And he has also not been able to convince canadian voters that they should vote for him....but other than that, he is a nice person.

I think he only needs to get him into Parliament so that he can’t wheezel a lot of all his lies
This conversation is very weak. Canadian citizens do care about the corruption in government and institutions. We are a fake country if we don’t address the corruption and abuse of power.
I’m surprised Brian has nothing to say about “ chain migration” Now the law. Islamization is well intrenched in Canada.
