It looks like Trudeau's team is adopting some of what the US Democratic party does: don't bother refuting the arguments with facts--because conservatives aren't interested in facts, and refuting them gives their insane arguments validity--call them weird because, frankly, they are weird.

The next time Poillevre starts hyperventilating about "woke" just dismiss him with "Dude, what is wrong with you, do you not know how weird you sound?".

Would be pretty good to also take a note from the Dems and have Trudeau step down for the next election.

As a Canadian, I'm over him. I'd never vote for PP, but I'd like to see some new options please.

Fair.

The challenge is the LPC doesn’t have much bench strength. Like the Democrats, they don’t tend to cultivate personalities, and the CPC has spent the last several years hillarying Chrystia Freeland, which is a shame.

I’ve heard rumblings of snoozers and centrists in an attempt to convince voters that the LPC is "serious", which will work about as well as it did for Dion or Ignatieff.

Voters aren't really interested in calm, sensible governance. Oh, they say they are, but on the left at least they need to feel inspired, which Trudeau can't do anymore and Singh never could.

Are these real tweets? Please say so.

I just went and checked and yes, it is indeed real. He also shares all his Xits in both English and French, which is amusing, but surely must be annoying for his followers. Why not have @JustinTrudeauEn and @JustinTrudeauFr?

Anyway here's the French version of that Xit.

This totally makes my day. LOL

I couldn't believe it either. This is a weird timeline.

the funny thing is that pierre poilievre thinks he's actually likable.

but then again you can't spell poilievre without lie

Classic "communism is when capitalism" post
