You’re a one trick pony. No sense of critical thinking, just because in your mind Carney is part of the ‘radical left’ and must be criticized at every turn regardless of what policy he might be advocating. It’s funny that people are calling Carney a ‘red’ conservative. Pragmatism

His legislative record in 2 decades of being a MP is atrocious. He’s an angry one-trick pony who prefers to bark like a dog lamenting all that is wrong in Canadian society when his own point of reference is as a back-bencher in Parliament who has benefitted from the public purse.

Poilievre tackles the Trump test and comes off statesmanlike: Ivison | National Post The reality is that he has passed every test and is primed to be our next PM whenever an election is called! Who agrees ?

Pure nonsense!!! That difference is that Carney’s approach to dealing with Trump will be more even keel than full blown capitulation. I’m afraid Poilievre would sell the house to appease the man-child’s every whim. Poilievre is a career politician, more into style than substance.

Carney doesn’t want to finalize a trade deal with the USA because he wants to yet again use an anti-USA ideology to run an election on !! Who agrees ?

I guess you’re kissing the wannabe King’s ring as well. What is it with Canada’s extreme right-wing surrendering to every whim that the Orange Blunder spews out of his outlandish mouth? If Pipsqueak Poilievre was PM, this country would be the 51st state as decreed by his majesty

Carney governs center right. If he was a Conservative all haters would love him. That's the human condition, programmed for tribalism. People love being "against." It's easy. Running an economy through global inflation, supply chain shocks and a decade of structural decay is not.

So instead of expanding our trading options, we cower to the Orange Menace south of the border. Is that what you suggest? We don’t need kissing the ring of the demented fool who talks of Canada becoming the 51st state? Economics not politics needs to dictate our trade partners.

Pure insanity. The guy is a bombastic slogan-projecting politician whose actual legislative accomplishments over two decades is noticeably meagre. Carney is not perfect but he brings a degree of competence to dealing with these troubled times while Poilievre exudes blustering.

But as the election showed, a majority saw an angry Pierre Poilievre rant and rave about everything Canadian, ran on a campaign of negativity without anything but slogans, attacked the media, and now many of his disenchanted MPs are seeing him as a do-nothing rabid rouser.

You’re a Trump apologist so your attitudes regarding immigration are based on bias and right wing ideology. You fail to recognize that we’re all descended from immigrants but I guess your mindset is discriminatory immigration.

You’re trapped in a 20th century mindset. You seem to suggest climate change is a bunch of malarkey brought on by the ‘leftist’ zealots who want to upset your utopia of a 1960s Canada return. Ride that antiquated mindset as loud as Poilievre keeps issuing slogans to reinforce it

I yearn for the Canada 🇨🇦 of my youth. We had respect for our flag,our culture &customs. We were inspired by our politicians & business leaders that collectively had a vision for Canada’s future.We had an emerging role in geopolitics as well as an iconic democracy. What happened?

This guy is nothing but rhetoric, a do-nothing fear mongering right winger with little to show on a resume that goes back to the Stephen Harper days. Talk is cheap and it’s why the country not to mention the people in his own riding said an emphatic no to Poilievre’s messaging.

A blowhard who espouses negativity at every opportunity. No surprise that his party lost the election and this guy couldn’t even hold his seat. Rhetoric tends to lose its effect when the messaging never wavers from Trumpian-like talking points.

He is a husband,father, family member and a Canadian with our values, customs and core beliefs. Yes he is also a politician with excellent leadership qualities that has a vision / platform that resonates & is relevant @PierrePoilievre will make an excellent PM for all Canadians

You seem to forget, we just had an election. Just because you didn’t like the result doesn’t mean the country needs to spend millions of dollars to go through this same old ritual of the radical right spinning their rhetoric that the Liberals are the enemy and Canada is broken .

He was held accountable in that he was interrogated by an independent inquiry into all aspects of the way the Freedom Truckers protest over a three week period in Ottawa. Part of that inquiry dealt with the implementation of the Emergency Measures Act and subsequent rulings.

Who agrees that Trudeau should have been held accountable for what was deemed illegally invoking the EA & Carney who advised on freezing bank accounts and seizing assets ! They can’t be allowed to operate with impunity !

Trump says the US has seen $17 TRILLION dollars of investment in the last 8 months. Meanwhile, since Carney stepped into office, Canada has LOST $62 BILLION in net investment. No elbows in sight. 🫠

Anybody who would trust Donald Trump to do the right thing on economics or anything for that matter has had their head buried in the sand like an ostrich. America has capitulated to this wannabe dictator and the country is in dire straits. And you want Canada to buy into that?

My suggestion: 1) Canada joins an economic union with the USA similar to the Eurozone 2) we use the USD as a common currency 3) open trade borders with no tariffs 4) USA provides full security 5) we operate as individual sovereign countries Thoughts ?

You’re living in fantasy land. Poilievre is considered all noise and no action. Look at his record as an MP even when Stephen Harper was PM. His rhetoric mimicks that of Trump — anti-immigration, anti-climate change, Canada is broken, etc. Just negative noise. Enough negativity.

You denigrated Trudeau and now you spew your venom to slander Carney. Meanwhile Poilievre is like a one-trick pony with his ‘Canada is broke’ and ‘we’re a divided country’ rabid rousing. If the right extremists are so sour, I’m sure Trump’s MAGA would be only too welcoming.
