Are Poilievre’s rallies breaking records? Almost
nationalpost.com/opinion/are-p

"Canadian political culture has not traditionally featured all that many mass rallies, in part because it’s often too cold to host them outside and there are limited options for indoor events. To this day, Canada is home to only a handful of indoor venues with seating capacities of more than 20,000."

Carney and Poilievre struggle to distinguish themselves

"Both men are promising tax cuts. Both pledge fewer inter-provincial trade barriers. Both tout cross-Canada corridors to boost the economy, though Poilievre’s is a straightforward “energy corridor” while Carney’s is a “trade diversification corridor fund” that mentions ports, railroads, airports and highways, but not pipelines. Carney stole Tory plans on carbon taxes and capital gains"

It's useful if you're curious about the messages Mr. Poilievre wants to transmit to the general public, in his own voice.

So far as I know, there is no similar account for the other main party leaders; I'd be happy to share the addresses of such accounts, if they exist. It's a shame no party has an official account on the Fediverse yet.

Lol, six months ago if you were waving a Canadian flag from an overpass or your car you were a a Trump supporter, MAGA, Fuck Trudeau, Pollievre supporting asshole. Now you are waving a Canadian flag from an overpass and I can hope you are just a misguided nationalist. So I guess there's that. Sigh.

"That one must defend supply management at all costs — but never propose expanding it into other agricultural sectors, weirdly — is part of the basic received-wisdom package uploaded into all federal politicians’ cerebral cortexes upon their arrival in Ottawa. Otherwise they will feel the wrath of the Terrifying Big Dairy Lobby."

Supply management is a system designed to make healthy food more expensive for Canadians.
