No doubt the PP crowd on the West Coast is all abuzz over the fact that they will soon enjoy his presence as part of his Axe The Tax tour.
No word yet as to whether will be musical accompaniment, but Michael de Adder has some 'sound' ideas in that regard:
UPDATE: The redoubtable Moudakis adds more pungent, poignant spice to PP's shenanigans:
everybody knows gas prices fluctuate over relatively short periods of time 10 or 20 cents or more due to taxes, local price wars, petrol costs, refiners expenses, and the seasons. Poilievre supporters have been duped, suckered to get all whipped up into an embarrassing frenzy over 3 cents, 3 cents, a pittance compared to what we have gotten used to over the years.
ReplyDeleteBut a price on carbon accumulated through years of slow increases, combined with other measures will reduce consumption.
Poilievre supporters you know the costs of keeping water bombers in the air, fire crews on the ground, flood cleanup, crops safe and productive far out weighs your little cost at the pump which you get back anyway!

Unfortunately, John, many of PP's people seem more prone to reacting to his Pavlovian stimulation than reflecting on issues longterm.

You forgot the " BECAUSE THEY CAN!
We have swallowed the bigger is better concept with our allegiance to brand name coffee houses and burger bars!
Schools are sold to us as providers of original thinking and self!
They have failed us miserably as they produce masses of willing followers of popular culture of brand names , memes and a complete absence of creative thinking.
FWIW, PP did a stunt! at our local gas station today complete with his axe the tax banners.
His audience of about 60 persons including lots of media in a red neck area, was not exactly significant.
I'm sure tomorrows news will inflate the 'sightseers' to figures Donald Trump would be proud of at an inauguration..

A very interesting first-hand account, TB. I shall check the coverage of PP's numbers.
DeleteAbout 60 to 70 persons including about 20 media .
DeleteCertainly not a number for PP to crow about, TB.
Delete.. Be wise to focus on at least one of the Poilievre ‘Approved’ CPC Candidates for the distant Federal Election next October - 2025
ReplyDeleteAaron Gunn.. seems ‘cut from the same cloth’ as Poilivre himself ! Will be remarkable hearing Pierre Poilievre endorse his beliefs !

Narcissistic leaders are particularly fond of ideological clones, Sal. I'm sure the endorsement will be glowing.
