I think it was a week or two ago I saw a post on a social media page that leans conservative and has a lot of conservative followers in the comments. It was about how Pierre wanted to end wokeness in the country and the reaction to this was heavily negative. People were calling out how tone deaf Pierre was to what their concerns were in the moment. I had never seen such a visceral reaction to PP on this page before, but it signalled to me that Pierre was out of touch on how Canadians feel about the social and political climate.
I think Chantel Hebert put it perfectly on a panel she was on a week or two ago. Canadians are interested in someone in leading or how she put it “acting prime ministerial”. Calm, collected, and trying to pull everyone together, but PP has continued to act like an attack dog. Slogans and parades aren’t what’s going to change how Canadians view you at this point, but being conciliatory and constructive might have helped. The thing is I don’t think there is a version of Poilievre that acts like Harper or Martin. I’m starting think that the only version PP is comfortable being is the always being on the attack, always throwing slogans around, them vs us mentality.
I considered voting for the conservatives before the resignation of Trudeau, thinking that PP would morph into the Job, that he was an effective leader of the opposition and this was the means to the Job, but I think the way he’s acting during a moment of crisis really spoke to his character. Now I can’t speak for all Canadians, but when they head to the polls they’ll have to chose not only between conservatives and liberals, but between Carney and Poilievre, and thats a real weakness for the conservatives. Carney is nothing special that’s for sure, terrible communicator, dubious dealings (maybe who knows), lack of political experience, but he’s intelligent and calm. That’s a big selling point when your competitor is known for four world slogans and shouting angrily.
