Pierre is similar to Trump in his campaign tactics. Populism. He lies, he manipulates, he uses fear and emotion to win over crowds and voters. He attacks 'wokeness' and tries to relate to the lower to middle class even though he stinks of capitalism.Toronto 2000

BF89905 said:It's shocking that the Ontario PC Party won a third majority last week with a campaign slogan that was federally motivated - "Protect Ontario" (from Trump). The PC's have shown us since 2018 that they have prioritized the distribution of alcohol over all of their real provincial responsibilities - public health care, the environment, ODSP, autism supports, affordable housing, public education, and public works projects. Corruption at every turn
Two things at play here; 1. Lack of good choices. 2. He capitalized on a moment and exploited it.
While I don't agree with him.... about most things.. credit where credit is due... if politics is a game, and we're all pawns... he's winning.Toronto 2000

Watched most of Trudeau’s press conference and I wasn’t impressed (surprise, surprise) but neither was I disappointed except for one point.
In reply to a question he said that (among other things) Canadians will continue to boo the American anthem, essentially justifying that boorish behaviour.
Why can’t people do what I did in 2017 when Trudeau took the stage at a WE indoctrination session. I didn’t applaud but neither did I boo, I simply stood quietly."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

He says a lot but proves very little and betrays his bias by using Pierre Trump throughout, as well as his assessment of free market democracy. There’s only one direct quote in the entire piece.
I can buy into his argument that Poilievre employs some aspects of Trump’s style, but Poilievre is FAR from the only one and it’s not confined to the right. Personal insults? Have you heard Trudeau speak?
As I watched Trump speak last night I couldn’t help but flashback to 2015 when he opened with “America is back!”"The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

I could easily say I’ve just been watching Trudeau for years just like Palecek has been watching Poilievre. Many here will choose to blow me off and insult me by calling me obsessed instead.
