What the .... slogan?

 Pierre Poilievre has repeatedly said Carney has nothing but slogans. Really PP? You want to go that route? 

Here are some of the slogans PP has used and is using:

Canada Is Broken (This was his key phrase before switching to Canada First.)

Canada First (A slogan that has been adopted by a Proud Boys group. And sounds eerily like Trump's America First slogan. )

Axe The Tax (He was still spouting this slogan AFTER Carney axed the consumer side of the carbon tax.)

Build The Homes

Fix The Budget

Stop the Crime

Bring It Home

Stop The Drugs (Which was his response to Trump's BS about fentanyl going into the US from Canada.)

You get the idea. If Carney has nothing but slogans what does PP and the Conservative Party of Canada have? PP is slow to adapt to the changing political environment which is not a good thing. A lot of slogans, and not much else to show for it.

Maple Maga

 Why is Pierre Poilievre often called Maple Maga or Trump Lite? A lot of what he says mirrors, if not directly parrots, shit Trump says and does.

Now PP and the CPC uses the "Canada First" slogan. Before that he went on about how broken Canada is. Sound familiar? America First?

When Donald started his BS with Canada, calling us the 51st State and disparaging our PM by calling him Governor, PP was fairly quiet. Mind you he did use Trumpian slogans at his rallies. While Trump was using the fake excuse of drugs coming into the US from Canada the slogan in front of the podium every time PP spoke was "Stop The Drugs".  While everyone else in Canada (except the twit in Alberta) was preparing to deal with Trump, PP was still focusing on other things, using Trumpian slogans.

He uses "woke" as an all-purpose pejorative and says he is on the side of "common sense." 

He is not a fan of the media. The CBC is a huge target of his and he wants to defund them. Even when dealing with the press at rallies and events he restricts them. Only approved media are allowed. Only 4 reporters can ask questions, and they only have 1 they can ask with no follow up. The questions are submitted beforehand. 

He embraced the so called "Freedom Convoy" morons who occupied Ottawa. PP showed up with coffee and donuts for them and marched in solidarity with them.

He uses "woke" as an all-purpose pejorative and says he is on the side of "common sense."

He has vowed to defeat the "gatekeepers" who are apparently standing in the way of Canadians prospering. 

Instead of making laws that would pass Constitutional muster he has vowed to invoke the notwithstanding clause to override judicial rulings against his attempts to impose harsher sentences on those convicted of committing crimes. Who needs Due Process and oversight?

He previously promised to withhold federal funding from universities that do not adequately uphold freedom of speech. HIS definition of freedom of speech.

PP talked about his big beautiful income tax cuts during a rally the other day. Trump has his big beautiful bill he wants to pass to make his tax cuts permanent. Tax cuts for the wealthy.

I don't know about you but I do see more than a little Trump and MAGA in Poilievre.
