I don't care what trump says about him. He's using the same rhetoric and tactics that trump uses. There's no denying this. 

I don’t see it, but I’ll say again that Justin is far more similar to Trump, but everyone refuses to see it, and I really don’t understand why. The only explanation that’s ever been given is Justin speaks nicely, which misses the point.

Trudeau is similar to Trump in that he lies a lot, pretends a lot, and instead of going out of his way to attack, belittle, and humiliate to make himself look like a strong man... Trudeau does the opposite. He virtue signals like crazy to make himself seem like a sympathizer, a kind hearted man, etc.  It's all bull shit. 

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.

2025 Poilievre sounds an awful lot like 2015 Trudeau however.

Why be so divisive? Why the hate towards those that don’t think
like you?

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.

I guess because nobody is as awesome as you are? There can be no other explanation.

Nearly choked on my banana. 😂

Will I ever be giving God an earful when we’re face-to-face, believe me. (Credit to The Frantics for that line.)

Good for Trudeau trying to explain to maga idiots what these idiotic tariffs will do to the American people.  I'm an American but i stand with Canada. Fuck Trump.

So all I’ve been able to find is people think Poilievre is Trump based on his style, that’s it. As I pointed out above, 2025 Poilievre is sounding an awful lot like 2015 Trudeau.

Palecek has been watching PP since he was a shitstain on Harper’s boxer shorts. He knows what he’s talking about. 

After looking up substacks and discovering they’re basically blog posts I went back and reread the column. I’ve had columns from legitimate publications blown off here and I’m getting really, really confused as to what the standard is here.

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!”

Why do you constantly deflect to Trudeau? He’s done. Old news. Neither I nor Palecek supported Trudeau ever. So why constantly bring him up? Not liking Trudeau & the Liberals has nothing to do with what a scumbag PP is and has always been. 

I was trying to illustrate how one-sided the analysis you provided is, nothing more, nothing less. As well as how the piece is lacking in proofs (or am I supposed to do my homework again, lol).

 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.

Edited to clarify the meaning of a sentence.
