If you've been following commentary in the election, you've no doubt heard the advice that #PierrePoilievre needs to "pivot", re-focusing his campaign on opposition to Pres. Trump rather than on quality of life and economic growth. Here's a column making the counter-argument:

The article points out that 38% is a good level of support for the #CPC, normally enough to win.

@dcopeland I'm on the right (it's in my bio). I see the current housing crisis as largely the result of bad government policies, such as zoning that only permits single detached homes, high development fees, and immigration rates disconnected from construction rates.

Consequently, the promises of Mr. Poilievre to use federal sticks to force municipalities to improve housing policies seem to me to be the right path to lower housing prices.

"[F]or older voters — especially Boomers and older Gen Xers — [Canada is broken] is like nails on a chalkboard. They hate it. Not because it’s wrong, but because it threatens a version of Canada they still believe in. A Canada that worked. A Canada that rewarded hard work, played fair, and gave them everything they have now."

@johannab There's no way in which a candidate for Parliament should ever say, even in jest, that a Canadian should be turned over to another country for a bounty. Are we concerned about foreign interference in Canadian politics or not?

Do you remember this story from 2012? cbc.ca/news/politics/jerry-ban

This is much worse. It's really hard to understand why Mr. Carney hasn't acted quickly.

"Just asking nicely clearly doesn't work with #Trump, so we have to stand tall with our allies in Canada and Europe and show that we will not be bullied. That means being prepared to impose reciprocal #tariffs if necessary, including on Elon Musk's Teslas, and urgently negotiating a better trade deal with the EU to show Trump we have alternatives."

I think I'll create an account for posting #PierrePoilievre videos. People on the Fediverse ought to have the opportunity to hear what he actually says, and not just listen to what other people think he says.

I listened to a good one today, for instance, about his plans to reinforce Canadian unity, prosperity and independence from the US by promoting an East-West energy corridor.
