Don’t be surprised if Pierre Pollievre does not pronounce himself on anything else but housing, inflation, taxes at the pump … and Justin Trudeau.
I did not see him defend Tamara Lich or Pat King. Too controversial! I don’t see his position on the public service hybrid work or on abortion, child care, the wealth tax or anything that he thinks is controversial and will cause a dip in the polls. He instead likes to either ignore questions and refuse to answer questions he doesn’t like or attack the media, which he ignored for years.
Instead, he seems to get stuck on his four attack themes.
He stands for nothing apart from becoming the next prime minister. Canada’s freedom is at stake as he pretends to be Canada’s saviour against the big, bad Liberal wolf.

Let’s not kid ourselves. Poilievre is not Canada’s saviour; far from it.

PM CAN’T RELATE AT ALL
Apart from the drama teacher gig, holding the teddy bear while being photographed at a residential school site was one of Justin Trudeau’s best performances. The prime minister also taught math? Guess he did not finish the deficit spending chapter.
This guy has had a silver-spoon joyride his whole life. How can he relate to any Canadian trying to make ends meet and working hard at their jobs just to survive?

A POOR, OLD SOUL
I recently saw a poor, old soul pedalling a rusty old bicycle, pulling a beat-up plastic wagon with one front wheel turned outward. He had stopped to pick up a new-found treasure, but had to stand up on the bike pedals to force the wagon forward once again due to the friction from the turned-out rubber wheel.
I became upset thinking he might have been a young man who once had a promising future and now he travels endlessly picking up treasures, and rests God-knows-where after a laboriously gruelling day.
