    What pisses me off the most about Conservative politics is two-fold:

    Their use of simplified three-word demagoguery specifically with the goal of making their base hoot and holler at some perceived enemy, but not actually have any policy to back up what is in truth a very complicated issue. (ie. axe the tax)

    And second, their constant banging on about “Corporate handouts” to businesses that they blame the liberals for doing, when everyone (except their cultists) know that they do it ten times more. And yet media never calls them out on it.

    Sorry. I know this is all well trodden territory by now. But every time I see that smug puncheable face, he repeats the bullshit behind that idiotic sign.

    that was a weasely answer. Now imagine PP at the helm dealing with full-on US onslaught… will he really stand up for Canada or just for pockets of few Canadians? Any sane politician would distance themselves from Musk, the un-elected human equivalent of genital cancer. While POTUS47 is covered in Teflon and will serve his full term Musk could fall out of grace at any moment making his endorsement rather undesirable for anybody.

      Depends on how you define it. Tesla is worth more then all the other car companies combined. But they sell way less cars. I have no idea why their stock is so high.

      Reminds me of the “lighting from the sky” clips. Can’t tell if he’s trying to praise someone or he’s just kinda not very smart.

    I have absolutely no love for Poilievre whatsoever, but listen to his answer to the question:

    Do you accept [Musk’s] endorsement?

    He very specifically doesn’t say yes at any point. He starts off by saying that going to Mars is the ambition of a toddler. He goes on to say “I hope Tesla opens some factories in Canada so that Canadians can benefit”. He calls doubt on the notion that a meeting with Musk is ever even in the realm of possibilities.

    For people who hate Poilievre, I challenge you to really listen to what he says here. He’s dissing Musk, actually pretty harshly.
