^ I honestly don’t think is about the messaging or whatever tariff response he would implement. Elections are fought and won on how people feel. It’s not about hearing some particular policy. In a crisis specifically it’s about who they trust to respond to whatever choppy waters are ahead.
Pierre has spent two years crafting a very specific persona and image. That was effective in the old world but it is suddenly not appropriate for the moment. They are now rolling out commercials with him standing in the middle of his rally crowd talking like a Prime Minister. But it sounds a bit artificial at this point because it’s not the image he has crafted since taking leadership. Fuck Trudeau was effective at farming rage but that rage in Canadians has now shifted to fear. He is left there trying desperately to conjure the rage again and has to start at square one to convince people he is the man to handle the fear. It’s a big ask because his image is pretty cast in stone and his resume doesn’t help.
Also.
“ people trying to convince you that he will hand Canada over to Trump and lay down to him not only flies in the face of what he's saying at his rallies, but it's the kind of divisive, kind of dangerous rhetoric that this country doesn't need right now.”
Really? Have you seen the devil image carney bashing commercials? They literally say that Carney will hand over Canada to Trump and then they modify a photo to make him look like Dracula washed in red. A bit rich to say Liberals are spreading dangerous rhetoric. Pierre has been doing nothing but that for three years and continues to do so. If he didn’t want people to equate him with Trump he shouldn’t have spent the last two years with slogans on his clothing, giving rhyming nicknames to his opponents and hanging out with truckers. He made his own bed because he thought that was a path to victory, but now he’s got to lie in it. That’s politics.
