Poilievre launches his campaign promising to be "respectful and firm" against Trump (nationalpost.com)

They changed the headline on this article. It originally read, "Polievre launches campaign with a pitch to heal, 'a divided country'" which made me laugh because he's spent so much time whipping up the white grievance that carried Trump to power in the US and trying desperately to ride the same wave of populist bullshit with the same message as Trump. When he's railing about the, "woke" and "political correctness" that suggests that we can expect an all out assault of LGBTQ+ rights, brown people, books, and anything else they don't like.

Meanwhile, ~~Elizabeth~~ Danielle Smith, Premiere of Alberta, said this about Poilievre:

“So I would think that there’d be, there’s probably still always going to be areas that are skirmishes or disputes about particular industries when it comes to the border, but I would say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,” she added. “And I think we’d have a really great relationship for the period of time they’re both in.”

Emphasis mine.

She's apparently advocates for Trump to keep tarrifs on during the election because she thinks it will hurt the Liberals.

She's a fucking traitor.

Agreed, and she seems to believe Poilievre is too.

Thanks. I have no idea where I got Elizabeth from.
