    Some of his ideas, like defunding CBC, are foolish.

    I don’t think Pierre Poilievre is a Nazi. Statements like that are unhelpful.

      Oh ffs. Stop playing it down. Look at the riding he’s being given. Battle river. It’s conspiracy city. Far cry from Carleton… I know that part of Alberta well . I’m telling you right now: it ain’t good . He went from serving coffee to the convoy to living with them.

      Step off with the gaslighting. This is the type of exact crap the Americans just went through. Knock it the hell off.

      He likes to dine with Nazis, and we all know the old adage about Nazis at a dinner table.

      People said the same thing about MAGA/Trump.

      Conservatives are holding the door open for fascism, and if you can’t close it, it will come in.

        “Progressives”/Liberals are straight up begging for authoritarian dictatorships.

        I missed when calling for smaller government, less regulations, less red tape, untouchable free speech, and less censorship suddenly became “fascism”.

          Yes, a government so small it fits in your rectum or vagina. Free speech unless you want to say gay people exist. No censorship unless your book or webpage says something they don’t like and less regulations lead to more corporate power. Corporate takeover of government and the means of production is pretty much what fascism is about.

      PP is a populist conservative politician so he’s not actively fascist, but do you know what happens when your society has a fascism-shaped hole? Politicians like PP expand to fill that hole.

        I wish people would stop calling him a populist. Doug Ford is a populist. PP is pretending to be a populist and is, at best an ideological populist but populists pivot. He doesn’t. We should be referring to him as an Opportunist because it all looks like an act to me.

        Probably hundreds or thousands of times this image has been posted by supporters of the literal fascists picking apart the United States, mocking others for overreacting over the last months and years. The thing has happened, how do you think you have a point?
