Selfie-Boy out in front of the cameras in reaction to Poilievre….pledging to do something about inflation….’cuz selfies.
Nice job eh , chasing the PM around snapping pictures hoping one will be somewhat remarkable .
Yeah but he can't. That would involve cutting back spending to reduce the amount of money going into the marketplace. I suspect he just intends to let it take it's course and hope the bank cuts eventually do the job after we go into recession.
But why aren't they asking the obvious question - if you CAN do something about it... why did you wait till now?
Who will ditch it? Jagmeet or Justin? I’m assuming Justin out of political expediency.
I think there are 2 schools of thought here for the Liberals. The first is that the longer PP has to connect with Canadians the worse it will be for them, The second is that perhaps over the long haul PP honeymoon period will end and he will fall back to earth. I really don't know which is correct but if the Liberal think tank thinks it will be the first case, they will dissolve the agreement and force an election. Or more likely force the NDP to break it by tabling something they could not agree with and outside their previous agreement.
The Liberals finding a way to demonize the NDP before they throw them under the bus? Are there enough female MP’s in the NDP to Justin-ify this? What will be the carpet that they pull out from under the NDP? The dental care debacle or something else?
This is essentially correct. Traditionally the liberals have always had one mantra - stay in power as long as possible. If they think they can count on the ndp to ride this out another couple of years, then unless they've got a huge advantage which suggests they should go right now, they'll wait. That's how they've always been.
However there's a third element not normally present right now, and that's Justin Trudeau's ego. And that's even harder to guess. Right now he'll be surrounded by people arguing for the quick election or arguing for the long haul, and there's been signs that he's really not enjoying the job any more.
Right now it makes no sense for them to go, they're not doing great in the polls and that's after Trudeau's "election style" tours this spring/summer and his big announcements which really barely gave him a nudge, and there's a good chance that PP will enjoy the traditional "new leader bump" that we used to see all the time, where the cpc will go up in popularity for a short time. But it's possible that trudeau takes the attitude of "i'm sick of this, so we go and either i manage to smear him and win and then i don't have to think about it for another year or two, or i lose and i don't have to show up for work anymore and i can do my talking tours at 30 grand a night again."
The right move is to wait - let PP's shine wear off, use the media to smear him, and wait to see what happens to the economy and hope that by end of 2024- beginning of 2025 theres' a recovery and then run on that. That will also make him one of the longest serving PM's which should stroke his ego.
But - he may for his own sociopathic reasons choose to grab guns earlier and shoot for a winter-spring 2023 election. And the signs are there that he's at least considering it.
Guess you don't read real well huh? Ah well, you can believe what you want to - it's still a free country. Your description of my support of Trump is totally out of wack - as I said, you obviously haven't been reading my posts, but that's ok. I often miss what others are saying about certain things too. It's just nice to know others do the same!!

So you're saying you haven't been supportive of Trump, regardless of his stupidity?
Huh! Maybe someone else named Dixie Cup has been posting Trump-Love!
Then from the Guy who wants Budgets to balance themselves (Who has increased the debt more than ALL other previous Prime Ministers COMBINED)…
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau launched a forceful attack of Pierre Poilievre Monday, describing the new Conservative Leader as an irresponsible politician who promotes reckless economic ideas (???).
Trudeau, Poilievre call each other irresponsible on economy — The Globe and Mail
The new Conservative Leader called on the Liberals to promise they would not hike taxes, while the PM says Poilievre doesn’t have a real plan for Canadians
“But this doesn’t mean that we’re not going to be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas,” he said??
GOLDSTEIN: Remember when Trudeau promised to balance the budget?
Today, let’s trace Justin Trudeau’s conversion from advocating balanced budgets when he was Liberal leader, to abandoning that belief as prime minister.
“Our platform will be fully costed, fiscally responsible and a balanced budget,” he said in April 2015. “I’ve committed to continuing to run balanced budgets … Liberals balance budgets. That’s what history has shown,” he repeated in July 2015.
But just three weeks later, on Aug. 25, Trudeau made an astounding flip flop, saying a Liberal government would run three years of “modest deficits” followed by a balanced budget in 2019.
Trudeau, looking earnestly into the camera during the Sept. 17, 2015 leaders’ debate on the economy said: “I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We will balance that budget in 2019.”
Trudeau’s actual record was a $19 billion deficit in 2016, another $19 billion deficit in 2017, a $14 billion deficit in 2018 and a $26.6 billion deficit in 2019, with no end of deficits in sight…..THEN COVID 19….

Adam Zivo: The timing was right for Pierre Poilievre's populism — National Post
His populism is at times messy but is entirely necessary
Yep. And it's going to have justin second guessing his game, and historically when he gets flustered he does very badly
Chicken-in-every-pot populism is dishonest. It is promising what you have neither the means nor the intention of delivering.
It is also, sadly, necessary for the challenger. The only way, really, to overcome the advantages of incumbency is to find failings and shortcomings in the current mob, and talk them up into CRISES! that will DESTROY CANADA! unless the good, honest, hard-working folk put you and your party into office.
You also gotta find some group for the voters to hate.
