I'm not sure what the issue he is talking about, but seeing as he is wearing his glasses it was a few years ago.

They are tone deaf on the issue, Our new CPC MP (12 vote win) stood in parliament on his first speech to complain about the industrial carbon tax on the same day Manitoba called a province wide fire emergency and in his own Province another wildfire threatened the town of Churchill Falls. #cdnpoli

Capitulation is PP's plan, and Bessent just confirmed even that's not enough.

KENNEDY: If Canada came to the US and said, 'We're going to 0 tariffs on the US, all of them are off,' would you and the president go to 0 tariffs and let Canadian companies and American companies compete on a level playing field?

BESSENT: Absolutely not

It seems Conservatives want a country more like the USA, where not only is it your right to have a gun but you are encouraged to use it. Castle and "Stand your ground" laws will in my opinion only exasperated gun violence.

I dont get Cons. Scheer 2019 did better than PP. He increased CPC vote share, gained 26 seats. He also won the popular vote, his own seat and didn't start with a 27pt lead. Still Scheer got canned before review. It's like the party has shifted from "Harper with a smile" to Dollarama Trump.

PP has in the past called for the firing of the governor of the bank of Canada, the arrest of his political opponent while calling the RCMP corrupt. Called for the mass adoption of cryptocurrency and to top it all off claimed the Nazis were "Socialists". That is not principled leadership.

Poilievre is getting accolades today for flying economy class to his leadership review.

He sets the bar so high. His expense account would be 5x the Prime Minister's otherwise.

Aaron Gunn's support base is so pro-Trump that he feels awkward for righfully speaking out about Trump's insulting comments about NATO and Canadian solders in Afghanistan. The only thing that's "politically incorrect" about his statement is that it shouldn't hurt him politically.

Conservatives are framing this latest TACO u-turn as if the situation is under control. But there is no truth or logic in Trump's reasoning. How can he have any kind of deal without talking with Danish or Greenland officials? And how can Conservatives have any assurance from that?

Trump says 'framework of a future deal' discussed on Greenland as he drops tariffs threat At Davos, the US president said he would not use force to take the island and later floated a possible "forever" deal.

Trump has drop his "Greenland" tarrif threat. A total farce, since he didn't meet with Danish or Greenland officials, but NATO. I fear this a play to now isolate Canada after Carney's astute speech so Europe will not object when he moves to punish us.

After "Liberation" day the UK and EU eventually made concessions and submitted to a deal with Trump. Now he wants something else and those deals aren't worth the paper they are written on.

This should be a lesson for Canada too.

The Conservatives truly have no ideas, only if Carney and the Liberals do anything it's bad. Remember the Cons signed us to a 31 year FIPA agreement with China, and let their state owned oil company buy Nexen for $15 billion. As I recall China was still communist back then.

The USA already has every right as NATO member to defend Greenland and keep Russia and China out. All this is, is a land grab from a fellow NATO member. If passed it will have profound and far reaching consequences for Americans and European's alike.
