Harper’s support shouldn’t be deciding factor. He’s consistently picked dudes and duds. We need a healthy multiparty system and centrist politics. Poilievre’s reelection would bode poorly for CPC’s future. Bad for Canada. #Cdnpoli #PierrePropaganda www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

Poilievre still isn’t selling hope, just nastiness

It may be true that Stephen Harper still supports the current Conservative leader. But his denials to one side, if Harper is having doubts about the current leader’s stewardship of the party, Pierre Poilievre’s days as leader are numbered. Calgary will tell the tale.

Carney’s visionary, highly skilled, tested and proven. Poilievre narrow, dogmatic, untested and incapable. Carney’s genuine, likeable & well intentioned. Poilievre deceptive, unlikable, angry and malicious. Carney attacks the problem. Poilievre the person. #Cdnpoli #PierrePropaganda #Budget2026
