#Poilevre

It's still early, but with around 40% of the polls in #Poilevre's riding reporting, he appears to be on course to lose his seat to the Liberal Bruce Fanjoy.

Good.

But, will Pierre:

(A) concede defeat gracefully later tonight

or

(B) refuse to talk to the press tonight, and start dissembling about cheating and stolen votes tomorrow

?

Addressing in order of presentation...

Single-use plastics: a nothing issue that he hopes to use as a culture-war cudgel to distract from his position (or lack of one) on real issues. Exactly like Trump with his "make our toilets/showers/appliances great again" BS.

Accompanying media: can't have that. He can only deliver prepared remarks to reporters. If he has to speak extemporaneously, he immediately comes across as the creep that he is [1], and he might accidentally say something true about his policy ambitions which the public wouldn't like.

4 media questions: stamina. Lying is tiring.

Cherry-picking media: can't have a media that's actually calling you out on your BS, or asking difficult questions you don't want to address in public. Pick safe, domesticized media outlets.

[1] He's creepy in the same way J.D. Vance is. My standard analogy is he seems like the guy who hangs around in the gym parking lot to try to talk to that woman who wouldn't remove her headphones when he wanted to talk to her during her workout.

@CTHW in a nutshell..

🇨🇦 “the only issue that matters is electing a government that will not bend the knee to Trump. If we screw that issue up, all other issues become moot.”

"If Canada lets a knowledgeable candidate like Carney slip through our fingers, in favour of an idiot like Poilievre, we will have proven that we're no better than our neighbours to the south."

"Alberta is #Poilevre's template for the entire country."

With candidate regurgitating VERBATIM 's CSIS-debunked BS excuse for failing to get his , it now means every PP story is now a Greg McLean story. Price of being a liar, McLean. youtu.be/92w7am9De3U?si=ORuN9_

🧵 Here's incumbent on telling great big easily refutable LIES about why his boss & fellow liar can't pass the same basic the rest of the party leaders did during a crisis. Vote him out.

Greg McLean skeet reads "He of course had security clearance when he was a Minister in Harper govt. But he is now the Leader of the Opposition and his constitutional job is to question and challenge the govt. He can't do that if he is muzzled by law. Libs would like nothing more than for him to shut up, but it won't happen."

Canada's 🧵 /41

Make wear it every day until either or he passes the same routine the rest of Canada's party leaders passed (which he can's because he's compromised, and on a number of fronts).

Canada's 🧵 /17

Right now it's a Election and you're the shady dude that can't pass a routine .

Poileve tweet reads: "15,000 Canadians line up in one day for ugly potatoes so they can eat.

2 million Canadians lined up at food banks in one month.

This can't go on. Call a carbon tax election today:  etc"

Appears that Stephen Harper "went out for dinner" last week & paved the way for #Poilevre's inflight political speech.

From WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech:

"Great to spend time over dinner with the right honourable Stephen Harper. Very insightful and inspiring discussions. As a long standing Calgarian he has known #WestJet from its very beginning and has been a great supporter of our business and people."
