Instead of guess work, criticize Pierre for what he actually says or does

If he says enough of the right stuff to actually get elected I’ll make sure to pay attention to what he actually does, when he actually then needs to follow through on his own words. Not gonna burn too much time on it until and unless we’re facing an election where he’s a viable contender.

EVERY politician should be held accountable to this standard. I will turn on him in a dime if he fucks around after getting elected. The Liberal base for some reason, won't ever look inwards and criticize harshly.

unless we’re facing an election where he’s a viable contender

At least your willing to hear him out at the right time.

While we are discussing people trying to torpedo Pierre's position as leader, Wyatt offers up some insight

THIS article is well written and deals with one of the subliminal issues that hinders the CPC.
This covers the pensioners and OAS recipients, as well as the boomer generation impact on voting. And how there vote changed over the last 20 years.

The more we turn to the state to be a safety blanket for everything, the more we lean into destroying our nation. Social safety net (and I mean just that) is good, a safety blanket to cover everything not good.

The Liberals have ensured voters are dependent on the state

Another excellent presentation by Pierre Poilievre (Go ahead, booo away).

I ask you to take the time to listen to him. His points still hold true whether Trump exist or not.
-Reducing federal government expenses
-Stop printing money and driving inflation further up
-Remove government bureaucracies and red tape
-Kick out the criminal migrants
-Remove interprovincial trade tariffs

@ArmyRick, there are no trade "tariffs" between provinces. You have trade barriers, which is quite different, and they usually arise out of the exercise of proper Provincial powers, but with side effects on the other provinces. It's a feature, not a bug, of our constitution, which is not to say that they should be reduced to the fullest extent possible.

For instance, you create barriers merely by adopting a standard in each province for something, and then, in each province, forcing the supplier to demonstrate compliance of your product before it can be sold there. This can lead to either higher prices for the product due to the numerous compliance requirements, or a decision altogether by a supplier form province "A" not to sell in province "B" because they don't want to have to "make" that province's standard and they can more easily sell their product "as is" to the US (often the case) or elsewhere.

This is an international case, but here is how it happens: Remember those days when there were dealership in Canada for Citroen, Renault and Peugeot? Where did they go? Well, Canada adopted much higher and more stringent standards for rust protection and resistance for automobiles and the French car manufacturer decided it was not worth their wile to meet them for the volume of sales in Canada, so they simply exited the market.

With every province establishing their own standard in various fields, that's how inter-provincial trade gets hampered. Another way, of course is when the commercial sector is actually in the hands of the provincial government, such as for Alcohol in just about every province, thus limiting direct "producer to retailer" contracting.

Since provinces, no matter what they say otherwise, are jealous of their powers and exercise them in numerous fields (just about every field actually, as we live in a nanny state), resolving this is near intractable. But even more than that, it is simply not a field where the Federal government has any power or capacity to act, except perhaps as the "organizer-mediator' of inter-provincial talks. So both Carney and Poilievre can talk the big talk on that, but neither can deliver. It's up to the provinces to resolve amongst themselves (and we know how that usually goes well ).

Also exercised to protect domestic industries, such as wineries, and to protect labour markets. Barriers can be direct, such as limiting the amount of BC wine available in Ontario, or indirect, such as Quebec demanding that trades by fluent in French and French technical documents.
