PP's St. Patrick’s Day beer with Mark Carney. but its actaully just him bitching about housing starts and pipelines that haven't even been written up yet. This is why cons are in 3rd place now.

progressive cons (i think i'm this, im not university Politically educated, don't at me) like me either followed carney cuz thats clearly what he is or are now backing the NDP along with the lib that didn't like or trust carney.

A buddy said, “Why is he holding a Guinness and talking about Irish heritage? He should be holding a pint of Foster’s since his heritage is a foster home.”

PP trying to convince the lay man that he cares about them is getting old. « Vote for me, I’ll offer you an easy solution that I will never implement »

This guy has the raw charisma of Ron DeSantis.

There’s a kind of irony that the prop Poilievre is holding proudly is imported, but his complaints are that Carney is too focused on diversifying Canada’s access to international markets.

didn't even pick up on that, he also holds it like the McDonald CEO. that probably just to show to the camera but it give off a similar impression.

It's legit to bitch about housing starts. That's a cross partisan issue that is a big part of the affordability crisis.

it is but the bait and switch on the title is v clearly him being combative. also i haven't seen anything from the cons to help rectify this themselves so in my mind, hes not allowed to complain.

I'd looooove to hear some proposed solutions that differ from the Liberals', but that isn't strictly necessary imo. It's a serious problem: our housing is too expensive. Solutions would be great, but the opposition's role is to highlight problems that the government is ignoring.

but they aren't submitting anything, its just amount to complaining. they need to push bills themselves for any of us to take them seriously. at least then we'd see votes go out and know who we all should really pay attention to. many of us are sick to death of lip service, we need to see actions. until then, im not changing my mind one bit.

We've got a decent supply of empty high rise condos in Vancouver if you're rich...
