Observations from Montreal
An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.
โThe Conservatives arenโt as much a political party as they are a ChatGPT-based slogan-generating algorithm speaking through the mouth of eveyoneโs least favourite muppet, Pierre Poilievre โ who has accomplished nothing during his 20+ years in Parliament.โ

Pierre Poilievre and his corporate lobby Party don't really give a shit about inflation/cost of living. They are all absurd hypocrites only pretending to care, to fool the uniformed. Behind the scenes this turkey and his corporate lobbyist CPC ass kiss the same CEOs who are ripping us all off.

Maybe the PM didnโt invite him because the flight left from Ottawa and he assumed Doug didnโt know how to get to there based on his disappearing act during the convoy.

We have so much opportunity in Canada โ to create better jobs and a more independent economy, and build better futures for our grandchildren.
I sat down with Global News last week to talk about how we're going to seize those opportunities and build Canada strong.

The person Doug Ford has appointed to the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators doesnโt know what ECEs do.
Youโll be surprised to learn that Julie OโDriscoll is a Conservative donor and former comms director for MPP Steve Clark, who resigned amid the Greenbelt land swap controversy.

100% guarantee. Poilievre will survive his leadership review, even if it is a low margin of support. Following, there will be many conservative MP's leaving the party, and will either join the Liberals or sit as independents.

Funny how this works, eh?!
I swear I donโt recall a Conservative MP sponsoring a similar petition when Leona Alleslev crossed from the Liberals to the Conservatives when Andrew Scheer was the leader. Why the sudden interest in preventing the practise now? ๐

Not long ago, a bill tried to ban floor crossings.
Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner delivered a blunt, clear-eyed case for why thatโs a terrible idea โ and why she and her colleagues voted it down.

But is anyone going to hold Doug Ford accountable for the dismantling of our system? Of course not. All healthcare blame is to be directed to the federal government, because shut up.

Support for the Conservative Party of Canada decreases with education
There is an inverse relationship between education and support for the Conservative Party of Canada.
Itโs time to have an honest discussion about critical thinking.
The less educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Conservative.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. Weโre ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.
When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

Poilievre set up to use forced perspective to fool the camera.
Perspective is everything. Same venue, same crowd. How to make your rally look enormous by forcing photographers to keep at a distance and use a small group as a background if you want a close-up of the speaker. #cdnpoli

A bar graph from votewell.ca shows the Liberal candidate at 44% and the Conservatives candidate at 42%.
It would be great if progressive voters in Peterborough continue to throw their support behind the Liberal candidate Emma Harrison and send Conservative Michelle Ferreri back to vlogging from her bathtub.

True North Centre for Public Policy - Wikipedia
You may see a lot of "Juno News" pretending to be an unbiased and accurate news organization on X. Certainly Poilievre favours them. Be aware they're actually True North, rebranded just before this election, a RW advocacy organization. Different name, same con game.
