When Parliament returns on Sept. 15, the rematch will begin between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
For a variety of reasons, Poilievre, not the PM, faces the greatest scrutiny as Parliament resumes. And that scrutiny is at the most basic level. Everyone knows that Poilievre can deliver an insult with the best of them. But with a leadership review just a few short months away, the question is whether he still is the right person to lead the Conservative party back to government.
Recent polling by the Angus Reid Institute suggests that the answer is a resounding no. In fact, the latest Reid poll presents Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada with a nightmare scenario.
According to the poll, Poilievre has the support of 68 per cent of Conservative voters. But 50 per cent of Canadians would be “ashamed to call him PM.” That number represents a 10-point increase since 2023.
As I think more on it i get it, i was mad but as long as we get their products cheaper, they can keep on taxing their own. What I am mad about, is Carney stepping in and interfering with the Air Canada strike in favour of a private corporation that isn’t necessary to our survival. As a union member that one pissed me right off and now I want Carney to answer for it
Editing because I replied to the wrong comment lol.
These are the same approaches from the equivalent Liberal party in the US that eventually gave way to fascism. Carney fighting for Canadians would mean he’d have to fight back against the fascist fucks across the border. Interfering with the Air Canada strikes is roped in with the same problem in one way shape or another. Not representing constituents properly is what gives way to for people to wander and pick someone like Polievre.
