      Question: What sort of instructions have you given to your caucus and candidates about wearing MAGA merchandise or using MAGA slogans?

      Paraphrasing a little here because the annoying streamer pauses every two words to interject with something like “wow!” or “muh muh muh muh” making it difficult to actually hear the answer to the question.

      Poilievre: The instruction is that we put Canada first whether that means standing up to American aggression or against the destructive Liberal policies that have made us weak and helpless and reliant on the US. I also made it clear we need to unleash the free enterprise system to reverse the destructive Liberal policies of the last ten years of taxes that have made us weak and supported extremism so we can restore the Canadian promise.

        Aka, he wanys us to be America, free as long as you have enough money. Removing taxes will decrease government income, they still want a raise and they get it by cutting services or selling assets and it makes Canada weaker and increases poverty which increases crime rates.

        Fuck Conservatives

          “we’re gonna be fiscally responsible unlike the TAX AND SPEND LIBRULS” - proceeds to say they will spend 100 billion dollars while also cutting government revenues. 🥴🤡

        Liberal policies made us reliant on the US but aren’t the conservatives saying they are going to protect Canada’s sovereignty by trading with the US and using those profits to invest in the military? Wouldn’t that make us dependent on the US to solve the sovereignty issue that was started by the US?

        spews BS to avoid answering question

        It’s wild to witness! Not only did he avoid the question, but he started going off about “The Liberals”! LOL

          Answering a question other than the one that was asked is a common avoidance technique used by politicians. It allows then to simulate a conversation and fill the air without actually saying anything.

          Paying a modicum of attention to the actual content of what a politician says and rating how relevant what they say is to the matter being discussed is a very effective way to quickly determine whether you’re watching a guy with real convictions you want to vote for or a con artist.

          I don’t find Poilievre’s performance wild so much as depressingly common.

            The canned answer is standard-fare in politics because the media has been so happy to play clips of any mis-spoken comment on a loop starting in maybe the 90s?

            The problem here is that he should have a goddamned canned response ready for such a soft-ball question. “We don’t tolerate that, I’ve told them if they are not for Canada, they are out!” (crowd cheers, he wins the election, yada yada). He can’t even manage that low bar.

            When it’s done once in a while, sure.

            But I think Trump set the stage for normalizing this, and it’s maddening to think that someone can hear what PP just said, and believe that he did a great job with that answer.

      Don’t please don’t drive traffic to content creators working to make their side look like idiots. Don’t support that stuff. We want less of that

      This is important. If we are ever given good material we need to shit on the content creator making the content instead of the actual content.

      This is the way. Always take a minute to point out how superior we are. We cannot accept this savagery. What will it get us
