Pierre Poilievre Wants Radical Austerity for Canada
Conservative Pierre Poilievre’s politics aren’t just about populism — they’re grounded in Milton Friedman’s radical vision of free markets. If he is elected prime minister, Poilievre promises a Canada where the welfare state is “out of business.”
Man who's only job, ever, was member of Parliament complains that taxation is theft.
And sits on multi millions earned from....?
... sucking off Harper's teat and lazing around parliament whining about how bad the Liberals are.
It's muddy, but his net worth is estimated at $1-5 million OR $25m+. So either way he's not mega-rich, somewhat to extraordinarily well off for a career politician no doubt. Admittedly, I only spent about 15mins looking into it, but everything I saw essentially says the same thing:
That's pretty much it. I'm not even sure I trust either number to be factual, there's no sources stated for figures. I'm not a Tory, I firmly believe that they're the antithesis of what it means to be Canadian. If anyone can firm numbers, I'd love to see them.
This shift was set in motion by the resignation of Justin Trudeau as the leader of the Liberal Party, though he remains prime minister for the short remainder of his government’s term. It appears nearly inevitable that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives will form a government — likely a strong majority government, capable of governing with near impunity.
lol wut
The shift didn’t start recently. This bully walking attack ad has been the shift since Canada started acting almost as stupid as the US and since everyone thought it was funny that Fuck Trudeau stickers were a cool protest.
I consider the USA the stupidest populous on earth, not exaggerating. I consider us about to lower to their level because we are almost there.
Populace.
He had the option to get a security clearance to see who in Parliament was under foreign influence, but declined.
Because the report is about him.
Oh that’s always a good idea.
Cripes, I’m sorry Canada. I hope you can weather this attack.
Is his logo unironically in a 2010's hipster barbershop style?
This man needs a couch and some eye-liner.
No place in the world is safe from fascism these days.
Pierre Polievre couldn't find his own ass with both hands, a flashlight, and a map.
Canadian people don't care about others as much as they claim they do. Would you vote for government to take away more of your money, pay a higher sales tax, higher government fees, higher income tax for all people, to pay for helping needy people, or would you vote to eliminate income tax and you give away your own cash to help people around you?
I eould vote for higher taxes, I am extremely inefficient at large scale programs.
I also don't like donating, ask the grocery store.

I have done in the past and I would do again.
