Harper returns in attempt to make Poilievre look charismatic #TheBeaverton https://www.thebeaverton.com/2025/04/harper-returns-in-attempt-to-make-poilievre-look-charismatic/ “Former #PrimeMinister Stephen #Harper appeared at a Pierre #Poilievre campaign rally this week, in an attempt to make the current Conservative leader appear human and likeable by comparison.

With Poilievre’s poll numbers flagging, Conservative insiders invited Harper onstage in an attempt to suck so much energy out of the room that the current candidate might actually appear warm and lively.”

Who attended #Poilievre's "biggest rally ever" in Edmonton?
“Polls are bought & paid for” said Dawn from Leduc
“I like what Trump’s doing. He’s smashing the bureaucracy. I want Poilievre to do that, too. I actually wish he’d go harder.”

Everyone I talked to liked Trump & didn’t think Mr #Poilievre should shy away from the comparison.
Next, Poilievre talked about "restoring Canada to its former glory" - that is, he spoke like Trump - and everyone went bonkers. #elxn45

Quebec's Le Devoir has picked up this story:

Mrs Pierre Poilievre's uncle, Galindo Prato, lived in #Canada for 3 years without authorization after his asylum application was refused. After deportation, he returned via the Roxham Road in 2018, claiming that he had been wrongly imprisoned in Venezuela.

According to correspondence recovered by Le Devoir, Anaida #Poilievre & an unknown MP helped her uncle apply for permanent residence on humanitarian grounds in 2021.

Given #Poilievre's "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" approach, surely the greatest strike three punishment would be to deprive these miscreants of all their Tory tax cuts:

Poilievre made the announcement standing in front of a sign that read, "Three lapses, Pay taxes."

"We'll even make them pay the carbon tax...with NO rebate," said Poilievre, trying to supress a sadistic grin.

I don't understand how "Making sure everyone in Canada has access to a family doctor" is a campaign promise.

Who the hell let it get to the point where Doctors were leaving? Who failed to keep doctors in the country? Who created barriers for new doctors to start practices or even failed to incentivize them to stay?

They spent years allowing local gov to siphon money out of public health care and now it's all "LOOK WHAT WE WILL DO TO GET ELECTED!!!!"

Assholes. All of them.

“A leader who muzzles reporters, controls the questions, and limits press time isn’t showing strength—he’s hiding something”

CTV reporter Judy Trinh shouted a question about #Poilievre’s refusal to get security clearance.
"Excuse me there's an activist here," PP said, and ignored her question.
The Conservative leader had confined the press in an 8x 8 metre pen away from his podium set in an empty parking lot.

#Poilievre calling #Carney a “political grifter” is pretty fucking rich.

Many of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's 'crime policies' would be unconstitutional, experts say.
Mr. Poilievre is “more interested in campaigning on slogans than putting forward responsible solutions that help people and our communities.”

Side note: Durham Police in MP Jamil Jivani's riding have just endorsed PP for PM.

"Trump is tanking the world's economy and leading it into a global recession. Every country in the world would love to have the world's best central banker leading them right now. But they can't - because he's Canadian and he's Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney."

Meanwhile, Mr & Mrs #Poilievre are whining that PM Carney is a "grifter" with a "fake resume" and a "banker's haircut"
... and he wears "navy socks."

Welcome to my rabbit hole! The Harper and PP show in #YEG the other night surfaced (in my stomach and brain) the “Barbaric Cultural Practices Tip line” campaign promise. The good news is the smart folks at University of Toronto have been archiving “Canadian Political Parties and Interest Groups” since 2005.

Harper first chose Mark Carney, not Pierre Poilievre. “Stephen Harper appointed me governor of the Bank Canada. We — I — worked closely with the late and great Jim Flaherty during the financial crisis. I note that Pierre Poilievre was not at any of those tables, was not given any of that responsibility, and note further that in subsequent years he has not gained any responsibility in managing crises or difficult situations.” PM Mark Carney #harper #poilievre #carney #vote https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/pierre-poilievre-ramps-up-his-attacks-on-mark-carney-with-a-little-help-from-stephen/article_4b1beb80-85d8-488b-b868-f79188ceb607.html

Over 80+ Independents have grossly expanded the candidate list in Conservative leader #Poilievre's Carleton riding, in hopes that voters won't recognize Liberal Bruce Fanjoy's name on the ballot.

At least 16 of these "long ballot" candidates listed in #Ottawa Carleton also ran in #Toronto-St.Paul's, which caused that longtime Liberal riding to change to Conservative.

Bruce Fanjoy has also had 300++ signs stolen or defaced.

"Majority governments aren’t always a good idea, but for this 2025 Federal election it’s an absolute necessity for our economy, our sovereignty, and our democracy.

Anything less and Pierre Poilieve will continue to disrupt parliament and slow down the progress dealing with Trump tariffs."

On the other hand, if everyone in #Ottawa Carleton were to come together and vote for Bruce Fanjoy we might not have to listen to Mr #Poilievre in the House of Commons again.
