Stuff like this and the “base” he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106
LoL “hard work”. He doesn’t even know what “hard work” is, that little bitch.
For those who don’t know, he’s never had a full time job outside of politics, he’s as far as someone can be from an everyday normal guy. Born in 1979, he’s got a BA in international relations and got elected at the age of 25 after 9 years of involvement in politics in one way or another. He’s been undefeated in his riding every since.
That means that at the age of 25, PP was making 141k/year and started receiving a parliamentary role bonus in 2006 when he became parliamentary secretary of the president of the Treasury board and has received one at all times ever since.
This man pretends to talk for blue collars and the poor, he’s worth multiple millions, doesn’t live in his own house that’s 25 minutes away from the parliament because he’s allowed to live in the official residence of the leader of the opposition… That’s 15 minutes closer…
This guy has been living off Canadians’ taxes for half of his life.
I can’t even imagine what earning double a living wage would have done to my psyche in my twenties. I’m middle aged and just now finding stability - and let me tell you, it wasn’t because I kept working hard. If I’d just kept working hard, I’d still be poor.
This dude doesn’t look like he’s worked a day in his life. Kind of good to know the conservative wormy look doesn’t know borders though.
This dude entered politics right from college.
Thanks for the insight. I’m just a dumb American. Apparently a lazy one according to this shit heel.
20 years in Parliament with zero legislative achievements. He’s a pure chaos operative.
What the actual fuck? I didnt know he’d said that. Isnt this the quiet part out loud.
Conservatives do that quite regularly.
Problem is that people often don’t listen.
Even worse many agree
Yeah. A lot of Canadians hold suuuper regressive views about indigenous people. Try driving through or stopping for gas in a reserve with friends or family sometime and see how the react.
Because way, waaaaaay more will react, and react poorly, than you’re probably prepared for.

Yes. That’s the plan.
He says he was wrong, the centrist media says “Well, that’s all fine and good then, he’s certainly prime minister material and no mistake!”.
Meanwhile, the fascist dogwhistle was already blown.

I’m sorry, aren’t you one of the “hurr, durr, Trudeau blackface” crowd?
So NOW you believe people can change?
Exactly.
And if you try to call it on that, they go “you’re twisting my words”, without actually ever explaining how their words are twisted.
He’s said a lot of awful things. He’s hung out with fascists and Nazi’s. He’s literally the bottom of the barrel. During the pandemic he pretty much said that the cerb was bad and Conservatives would never do that as Conservatives don’t help people.
I’m usually reluctant to judge a person I’ve never heard of before based on one quote with no context. Regardless, I’m pretty comfortable saying that this guy can go fuck himself.
I don’t no anything about him but fuck him in the eyes until he’s blind. I’m tired of racist pos getting to open their mouths and not have any consequences.
Canada’s next Prime Minster right there folks.
Oh god I hope not.
Unfortunately it seems likely. I don’t think Trudeau should run again, he has lost any charm he once might have had with many voters and has too much baggage. Liberals are doomed if he runs, but they might have a chance with a fresh face.
Said it before, will say it again. I’ll vote for a chimp in a red shirt if that’s what it takes to keep this guy from being the PM.
It’s also ridiculous that there is an idea among the white ruling class that Indigenous peoples merely need financial compensation for genocide. How do you compensate for that? They need decolonisation, namely ending of discrimination, recognition of their rights and sovereignty as Indigenous peoples, and work to repair the long-lasting damage that was done, such as the massive issues with mental health, addiction, crime and abuse within Indigenous communities that arose as a direct result of residential schools. Things that require deep rooted changes to society and will take generations, not just an apology and some hush money before never bringing it up again.
DeSantis of the north. Good to see you in the Lemmys, Ulrich 🖖
“Yesterday on a day when the House and all Canadians were celebrating a new beginning, I made remarks that were hurtful and wrong,” Poilievre said.
Buddy, it was more than just that day… lol
Something, something, work makes you free…
Nice to see I’m not the only person who’s noticed the similarity between Calvinism and Auschwitz.
Serious question: what actually is the value of hard work?

@doleo @Ulrich_the_Old
It is a concept that supposedly is needed in order for us to succeed. As a concept, it is used to bury the fact that many of our “successful” citizens (read rich) actually inherited their monies or “knew someone”. It is also used to explain poverty…. That is, if you are not successful, it is your own fault because you did not work hard enough.
Haha what the fuck? I had no idea Canada had politicians like that.
June, 2008? Wtf man he’s had lots of time to grow up and change his views. Look at him. He’s a baby.
But anyway, I hope he doesn’t become PM regardless. He still seems like a shit.
he’s had lots of time to grow up and change his views.
Okay, this can easily be resolved by him expressing his changed views.
Expressing and demonstrating that his views have changed for the better.
Source?
I hope this community does not become a place for memes without any source to back them up.
2008 … wasn’t Trudeau still in blackface back then?
