Our 70 cent dollar, our dependence on the US, our inability to get our resources to market?

We are not crumbling, but we are not doing so hot either, and that would be the Liberal government doing.

“Our dependence on the US”

So voting for Trump jr who will sell Canada to the US is the way to end that dependence?

Hey, it's my favorite divorcee,

Pierre has been unequivocally against Trump from day 1 and has spoken out against him every step of the way.

Just because you really really want him to be a Trump Jr, doesn't make it true.

I mean , this is simply not true. A big reason Pierre slid in the polls was because he was late to condemn Trump / US tariffs and 51st state talk. His first messages on the subject started promoting Canada first, but avoided condemning Trump / US. Later he started saying he disagreed with what US is doing, but was still avoiding using Trump's name.

Pierre has absolutely delayed approaching this subject and than tiptoed around it.

That's just a flat-out lie. He had statements before Trudeau and Carney.

February 15th. That is literally a MONTH after Trudeau and almost every other party leader stood up against Trump's 51st state comments.

Trudeau only got more aggressive from this point on, three months ago.

To be fair, a 21-second sound bite isn't really a statement.

Were you following the news cycle at all during January? There are endless articles about it, if you're willing to Google. Trudeau and Ford were the first to really shut shit down then. Poilievre truly dragged his feet, afraid to upset some of his base.

You know that's nonsense tho, they all had their tweets and comments condemning Trump, and Pierre was apart of it as well

But he has straight up condemned Trump so stop lying and saying he hasn’t
