Poilievre Is Carney’s Greatest Asset

I mean it is just too true. 

The latest Angus Reid Poll tells it all.

“New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute suggests that Poilievre still holds the support of most Conservative voters (68%) but the group of voters who could have made the difference between defeat and governing the country want a new leader. A majority (54%) of Canadians who considered voting Conservative during the campaign but ultimately decided against it want Poilievre to be voted out in January.”

“Doubts remain among Canadians that Poilievre shares their views (35%), understands the issues that are important to them (37%), and genuinely cares about women (35%), the latter being a consistent bugaboo for the Conservative leader as he has struggled to generate positivity among women throughout his time as leader.”

• Half of Canadians (48%), including a majority of women (53%) say that the Conservative party “does not represent people like them”. In 2017, two years after Harper’s defeat by Justin Trudeau, two-in-five (38%) Canadians said the same.

It ‘s like Poilievre did not grow after he became  leader—mouthing short snappy  phrases more reminiscent of high school debating than a candidate for PM. 

Most of us remember he and his caucus in the dying days of Trudeau Jr asking questions in the Parliament most of which demonstrated a shallow approach to serious issues.

It provided the Liberals with an opportunity once silly Trudeau was gone. And Carney fitted the bill. So it wasn’t so much pro conservative we were seeing the polls but anti Trudeau.

And so it continues —-

There are no Mulroney types around  it seems. 

Poilievre seems stuck—and too controlled by non  politicians.
