Conservative Party

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre denounced a German politician after several Tory MPs were criticized for meeting with her while she was in Canada this week.

She represents the Alternative for Germany party, a right-wing populist party that opposes immigration. Parts of the party were put under surveillance as a suspected extremist group by Germany’s intelligence agency in 2021.

The chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network and at least two Canadian Jewish organizations expressed concern about the MPs having dinner with Anderson.

From the Globe: Conservative MPs criticized for meeting with anti-immigration German politician

“As we have stressed in response to previous incidents of this nature, it is imperative that members of Parliament do their due diligence when agreeing to formal meetings,” Nicole Amiel of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said in a statement issued on Friday.

The previous night, the centre said in a tweet that it was “deeply concerned” about the meeting with Ms. Anderson, whom they described as a member of a party “known for Islamophobic and anti-immigrant views.”

This is the same bullshit we have seen with Scheer, O’Toole and now Poilievre. Liberal Party wannabes dressed up as conservatives.

The NatPo article even quotes one of the Antifa loving Anti-Hate Hateys. I wonder if Pierre will denounce them?

Bottom line? You will be made a target and labelled a racist for defending your rights & speaking out against their mass-immigration scam.

To Jagmeet 1 & 2 and Justin – Fuck you all.

Will I Vote UNIPARTY?

No thanks.

In her own words …

This is a dark hole that the Conservative leader is taking his party down. Threats and even attacks on journalists are on the rise in many countries.

A universal tool of demagogues is to demonize and threaten journalists. It’s an effective tactic, especially when aligned with a parallel campaign to create their own controlled media.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been revealed by Florida media and Harvard’s Neiman School as the latest threat to an independent media, seeking legislation to intimidate independent journalists by setting minimal requirements to suing them for libel.

Contrary to what was widely predicted, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s selective shunning of what he describes as the anti-Conservative media that dominate the Parliamentary Press Gallery hasn’t hurt him in the polls.

That raises the question of whether he can win the next election without them.

Seriously?

The CBC suggested today Trudeau was showing “good faith” by pausing his hunting rifle ban.

Good faith? This was a deliberate attack on rural & Indigenous people.

He only backtracked because my team forced him to.

I thought he did great but will I vote for the CPC? Unlikely.

OTTAWA — Candice Bergen’s announcement Wednesday that she’s resigning as a member of Parliament caps a year of turmoil for the Conservative party, which is only now beginning to find its footing under new leader Pierre Poilievre.

The departure of the party stalwart and former interim leader — a Stephen Harper-era veteran tasked with trying to hold together a fractious party after an internal civil war last year — is the latest sign yet of the generational change underway within the Conservatives as Poilievre plots a course toward the next federal election.

And … Poilievre bringing in record fundraising dollars, more than previous Tory leaders

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sketched a vision Friday of a country rife with problems caused solely by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and said if he’s refusing to fix them, it’s time to just get out of the way.

Poilievre’s comments kicked off his party’s two-day planning meetings for the coming resumption of Parliament after the winter break.

Canadian constitutional disputes are like zombies. Just when you think they are buried, they rise from the dead, looking to claim their next victim. Politicians often exhume them to boost their standing and win an election. But they had better beware: like most monsters, the undead have no loyalty, and will happily turn on those who resurrect them.

Conservative party Leader Pierre Poilievre appeared in an unlikely place in Quebec on New Year’s Eve. He joined other politicians including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Quebec Premier François Legault in a special rendition of Ukraine’s national anthem on Radio-Canada’s hit satirical news show Infoman.

Poilievre was also uncharacteristically kind to the man he’s been accusing of having broken Canada. Following a clip of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson declaring that “there’s no more fearful despot in the world than Justin Trudeau,” Poilievre said that this was “too much, Justin isn’t that bad.”

I’ve heard politicians say they’ll “Defund The CBC” before, I’ll believe it when I see it.

This time last year, Pierre Poilievre and his inner circle were planning what would turn out to be the most well-executed federal party leadership campaign in modern Canadian history. Today, the same people are wracking their brains trying to figure out how to reverse the opposition leader’s tanking favourability numbers. What a difference a year can make.

Poilievre is no one’s idea of a Monster and CPC policy is little different from the LPC. This article may as well be advising Junior to practice compassionate Liberalism. A few polls by the usual suspects mean nothing in a Canada where the Liberals have been caught deliberately cooking results.
