The media’s sudden fascination with scrutinizing Poilievre’s personal appeal to voters has little to do with believing it’s actually worth analyzing. The “neutral” commentators in the legacy media just don’t want to have to focus on the real popularity issue, that being the failing agenda and public trust in Trudeau and the Liberal government.
In terms of a purely political move, Poilievre’s gamble paid off as Justin Trudeau decided to step on the metaphorical bear trap that Poilievre avoided. Justin Trudeau, pathologically unable to tolerate any political view that is not aligned with his own, decided to attack Premier Blaine Higgs over his very reasonable policies.
Speaking from experience, I can tell you that doing so won’t always be celebrated by party brass, and that’s ok. Appeasing them might make your life easier, but that’s not your job. Your duty is to put your constituents’ thoughts and concerns first.
More Canadians need to be educated about what Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government are trying to do to independent media in this country. If the Liberals get their way independent media will be heavily marginalized on the internet and only subsidized government-approved media will be easily accessible online.
This is absolutely the case with the Calgary Affordable Housing Task Force reccomendations. Just because “affordable housing” is in the title does not mean the recommendations would make housing as a whole more affordable.
Justin Trudeau doesn’t want it to be public that he is still being currently investigated, but he also does not want the matter to be closed so that the public can gain access to information regarding his attempt to get SNC Lavalin a deferred prosecution for their bribery schemes in Libya.
The Biden administration has argued that the talks need to be kept secret in order to protect the sensitive nature of the negotiations. However, this argument is not convincing. The nuclear deal is a major foreign policy issue, and the American people have a right to know what their government is doing.
The Conservative Party should decisively be a party of the political centre-right to right, and I hope Pierre Poilievre and the rest of the Conservative MPs continue to ignore legacy media “conservatives” like Andrew Coyne trying to push them back to the left.
This is exactly why Bernier had to go on the offensive at Andrew Lawton and True North, claiming they were acting like the CBC. Bernier knows a lot of his political appeal realized on being perceived as an ideologically pure conservative, so instead of just admitting he attended the WEF but brushing it off as just part of his old job which does not represent who he is, he lashed out.
After his 400km+ journey, Merzad had the attention of both foreign and domestic media and was in a position to put real pressure on the government. It would be one thing if Trudeau just lied, but the request to stop his social media posts was a clever and insidious political move.
