From the Editorial: “Another problem for the Conservatives is that encouraging economic data is starting to challenge Poilievre’s talking points. Inflation is now down to two per cent, the lowest rate since February 2021. Gas prices are down. Interest rates are coming down. Even Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are down (although still far from the 2030 target).
If Canadians start feeling like life isn’t all that bad, what will Poilievre offer then?”
My answer to Alithia Raj’s hypothetical question is nothing, of course. He offers nothing but complaints and sour grapes. He’s such a disappointment every time he speaks. It would be impressive, were it not also depressing.
I was a big pollievre supporter the last two years. However, his calm, witty, intelligent demeanor has vanished. Now neither him, nor his party members can put together any intelligent thought other than their campaign slogans or slander. They were funny the first few times, but after his party being stuck on “repeat”, it begins to feel cheap. He’s better than this.
