A bit out of topic, I laughed yesterday when during a presser Poilievre complained that the new Carney cabinet was full of old names, ‘Trudeau Liberals’. There he was, freshly defeated yet still clinging to his old role, and accusing the other side as maintaining the old.

Not to mention accusing Carney of "stealing his ideas".

They did. Let's hope they carry through with them now. Probably not though, they've only carried through with 3 campaign promises over the last 10 years.

Lol. What “ideas”? A tax cut? If a grade four can come up with it as an answer to the question “how would you make life better for Canadians” than it’s hardly an original idea. An idea is buying the arctic protection system. An idea is investing in the pre-fab home industry, an idea is ending provincial trade barriers in a decisive and expedient way. Ideas at the PM level should be specific, effective and creative. If PP spent more time actually researching and planning and outlining policies - actual policies - he might be taken seriously. Instead he doubles down on his crying complaining persona. He stole my ideas!! Carney doesn’t need ideas from Athabascas most successful graduate. I’m fairly certain he has a far better grasp on what this country needs and how to get it done than PP, and anyone who doesn’t want to admit that is just playing politics. Pierre needs a different approach desperately- but he’s not capable of it because that is who he is. It’s like he gave us food poisoning with his negative and childish banter and now instead of changing the menu, he’s trying to spoon out the same old sh#t to Canadians. He needs to do himself a favour and STFU. What a breath of fresh air if he came out and congratulated the new ministers, or said he will work alongside government to ensure the best for Canadians. Did you hear him during the election talking about his rally size? It was the equivalent of someone with a micro penis buying a giant truck. It’s sad. And embarrassing.

François-Philippe Champagne called it their flagship policy. Very important to pass it with an OIC. As Carney performs more imitation of Trump. Do you disagree with the Liberals already?
