    1. @GreenBean44 GreenBean44
      Is that why he can’t break out of his 40% approval rating ?
      Even QC only gives him 50%
      The nationwide support for the protest convoy showed exactly how many Canadians are done with this government.
      As to Vancouver as a support base, Liberals have traditionally been tied with the NDP. In 2021, the NDP won the high-density blue collar East Van ridings by MUCH wider margins than the Liberals won the downtown ridings.

      Exactly where in the covid mortality stats does it give political affiliation ?

    2. @DL but the NDP will prefer a coalition government with the Liberals then the Cons as well the Quebec Party

    1. Hes not electable and you all know it … cmon now … this is the sound of desperation by the right
      Trudeau is going to sail to being the longest serving prime minister if you have SKPPY on the ticket

    2. Just imagine Pierre in the debates when the Liberals won’t be able to obfuscate and dodge every question. He’s going to wipe the floor with them.

    1. We all need to pay the $20 to join the Conservative Party and vote for Pierre to be leader of the party. THEN we can vote for him in the federal election.

  1. A lot of “centrist Liberal voters” are about to come over without hesitation. I have had the pleasure to meet him a few times and know he’s got the right stuff.

  2. Now that is A PRIME MINITSER LET’S GO PIERRE . I TRUST THAT THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY WILL DO THE SMART THING AND SELECT YOU TO LEAD THE PC PARTY

    1. @JD yeah, he’s not electable as PM: moderates hate him because he’s so partisan, the Centrist swing votes Harper needed for 40% won’t back Pierre Partisanhack.

    1. I was hoping too, but I dont know anymore, rumors that his wife is collecting cash kickbacks for PCR test kits sold by SWITCH HEALTH. This might be the reason Kenny wont lift the PCR testing. Follow the Money!! Anyone elected & their family members should be audited for transparency!! Can’t trust any of the candidates anymore!!

    1. @E vod Game Hunter at least they’re in Ottawa…where’s Trudeau? 🤷‍♂️ There’s something to be said for accountability. I don’t expect to always agree with the leadership of this country, but I do expect my PM to show up and face the music when the tough questions hit. …not hide at an “undisclosed location” and dodge every question thrown at him. (Not that he’s ever actually answered a question in the commons either though)

    1. He is privy council, the only way i trust him is if he rids the crown power , as no pm will when elected . None of them are credible !!!!

  3. He’s had my vote for at least two years, was just waiting for him to run! SO thankful to future PM Poilievre and cannot wait to have our country back!
