    "Mr. Poilievre has said for months that he will remove the gatekeepers who have massively increased the price you pay at the gas pump (I guess that means he will lead a coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin) and banish the gatekeepers who have inflated the price of goods and services (thus vanquishing war, disease, and a decade’s-worth of supply chain vulnerabilities in a single instant). But perhaps more critically, he has vowed to take on the gatekeepers who enable others to impede the freedoms of everyday Canadians – the politicians and law-enforcement personnel who stand idly by as groups of chaos actors occupy territory in the name of political protest. As he said in February, 2020, when protesters blocked railways in opposition to the Coastal GasLink pipeline: “These blockaders are taking away the freedom of other people to move their goods and themselves where they want to go and that is wrong and the government has laws and tools in place to combat it.”

    Now, I haven’t checked to see if Mr. Poilievre still stands by this position, but surely he would have the exact same view if another group of protesters impeded the free movement of their fellow Canadians and, say, blocked border crossings to act out some sort of political tantrum. Mr. Poilievre is nothing but decidedly non-partisan and fair on these matters."

    So why did Crypto Polly seem to have such a change of heart in Ottawa and support the illegal blockade and the blocked border? Is it the new Con fredumb policy laws are for the other guys? LOL

      This article points out why Tiff Macklem will be gone.

      https://financialpost.com/opinion/matthew-lau-memo-to-the-bank-of-canada-your-target-is-inflation-not-carbon

      The BOC had a woman groomed for the job but Mr Treudau needed someone the take a hardline ESG direction. Macklem was his man. Totally a political appointment to help with the all important climate change agenda.
      He was Mark Carney's bum boy.
      ESG investment style is going to take some serious group chanting to get any momentum back.
      A lot of climate cult money has evaporated there recently.

        Congratulations Chuck for not starting a new thread for your latest cut and paste liberal media attack on PP.
        This is recycling at its best, saving the environment one thread at a time.

          Remember all those banks and esg funds and universities and sovereign funds who divested from oil? Their cult supporters drove the price to the moon.

          My kids college funds and my retirement thank you immensely chuck et al.

          Billy Gates has big oil holdings. Maybe Trudeau foundation does as well.

            Crypto Polly is a phony flake who seems to be able to con many of the cons with populist rhetoric and simplistic solutions some of which don't make any sense.

            And many of the sheep seem to suck it up without hardly a raised eyebrow.

            And as if Polly isn't part of the Ottawa elite who has been collecting a tax payers salary for many years! You believe that Polly is just an average guy with average problems? LOL

            But consistency of principles and thought is not a strong suit for many of the conspiracy loons and wanna be republicans on the fringes of the CPC.

            As bad as Trudeau is, Crypto Polly is not the solution.
            be very, very scared ,

              With Populist Polarizing Polly leading the CPC and alienating a large swath of centre left voters there is no guarantee he will win a general election.

              While not very popular in the west, Charest would be a bigger threat to win over Trudeau in Ontario and Quebec.

              So don't crack your Bud Lights in celebration too soon. Its a long way to the election and PPP provides lots of ammunition for the attack ads. Plus there are so many loose cannons in the CPC it will be hard to keep a lid on all the "lunatic fringe" as Jason Kenney likes to call them.

                Can't disagree this time, with the most polarizing poster.

                  A couple of thoughts Chuck2, Erin O’toole tried appealing to centrist voters, it got the CPC nowhere according to the last election.

                  According to Jason Kenney the lunatic fringe was trying to push him out. Well over 48% voted for him to go. Are you saying that half of Conservative voters are part of the lunatic fringe? How did that work for Kenney?

                    I think any realist accepts that conservatives are not one monolithic group with the same interests. They will never have the broad appeal of the low information voters (Chucks) who will always vote for the party who promises to take something away from someone else give it to them. There is no mythical center left who would vote either way depending on policies.
                    The conservative only hope in this country is that voters eventually get so fed up with liberal corruption and incompetence and arrogance that they vote against them out of protest. If any conservative government who actually enacted any conservative policies, fiscal or social will never win those protest votes a second time around.

                    I believe Chuck himself has made the outlandish claims that he is somewhere on the center of the political spectrum. Anyone really believe that his vote is negotiable and with the correct conservative leader he would vote conservative?

                    The fact that both fiscal and social conservatives are somehow supposed to coexist in the same party guarantees that there will never be any cohesion within the party, with infighting forever, throw in a media political opposition insist on fanning those flames. The two notions are as disparate as is possible. The left will always be united. Voters without morals or ethics, and who's only motivation is what is in it for me, is a much easier group to unite.
                    Only way out of this vicious circle is separation of the wealth generating portions of the country. PP as leader or even prime minister Will only delay that inevitable outcome.

                      "Only way out of this vicious circle is separation of the wealth generating portions of the country." Huh?

                      You mean Alberta? Again more arrogance and delusion from Albertans that they are the only ones who work hard and contribute wealth to the confederation? LOL

                      Apparently all the GDP and wealth of the remaining 9 provinces which dwarfs Albertas, doesn't count?

                      And all just because you won the geology lottery?

                      Norway has demonstrated real fiscal conservatism as opposed to Alberta which has relatively very low oil royalties and has managed to save almost nothing from its publicly owned resources. It goes from boom to bust and when the bust happens, it's always somebody else's fault.

                      Albertans have been good at giving away their resource revenues, but as far as managing their one time wealth based on a non renewable resource in a sustainable way, they have been a dismal failure compared to Norway and even Alaska.

                      But A5 don't let that stop you from telling us how great Alberta is.
