      Some of his ideas, like defunding CBC, are foolish.

      I don’t think Pierre Poilievre is a Nazi. Statements like that are unhelpful.

        The dude is aligned with trump and is a fascist. I wouldn’t call them nazis just yet, but they are certainly very, very fascist.

        I work in a very conservative workplace in Alberta, and when I call trump a fascist I get zero pushback. In fact, they just nod in agreement. When I say that Peter rabbithait is aligned with trump, they don’t argue against that point either.

        The “good ones” know their support for him is short lived, and they will have to piss or get off the pot soon. I hope goodness prevails.

        I agree, it sucks when Americans try to project their issues onto us.

        Oh ffs. Stop playing it down. Look at the riding he’s being given. Battle river. It’s conspiracy city. Far cry from Carleton… I know that part of Alberta well . I’m telling you right now: it ain’t good . He went from serving coffee to the convoy to living with them.

        Step off with the gaslighting. This is the type of exact crap the Americans just went through. Knock it the hell off.

        He likes to dine with Nazis, and we all know the old adage about Nazis at a dinner table.

        Hey, just wanted to say you’re right. And these people here are bad faith commentators. They push things towards hyperbolic statements in the same way the right went nuts in their own way.

        Unfortunately I fear this is what we have to come to accept now until everything blows up.

            Seriously consider what you’re saying here. That PP is a Nazi, he clearly is not, while telling me my head is up my ass

              People running for high office that make campaign stops with white supremacists are 100% nazis, no exaggeration necessary.

              People that are not nazis don’t tolerate nazis.

                If you use the word nazi enough it won’t mean anything, and you will push awayl soft support. They are fascists plain and simple.

                Just call them that for now until one of them gets their Hugo boss uniforms on, then you can call them nazis.

                No, what you’re doing is lazily leveraging the nazi context for your political benefit. PP is not a Nazi for having a photo op or being tangentially associated with some asshole. It’s as lazy as showing pictures of people with Epstein and calling them pedophiles because they were in a photo.

                It’s bullshit politics. The sad part is that you will never realize how it’s your credibility that is lost. And unfortunately since you associate with certain values, you lose credibility for the whole. There’s reason to shit on him for spending time with these people. But when you go hyperbolic and dramatically call him a Nazi, you lose the plot

        People said the same thing about MAGA/Trump.

        Conservatives are holding the door open for fascism, and if you can’t close it, it will come in.
