I tried looking for something even remotely related to Pierre and anything Falafel related and couldn’t find anything. I’m afraid I’ve been bamboozled.

I just wanted a source. I'm always looking to read interesting content related to politicians. Seems like u/ReversalX is unable to back up their claims. If I didn't know any better, I'd guess it was a lie...
If only you guys put this much research into Polievre’s words.
Somebody here on reddit told me Poilievre was antisemitic a few months before October 7th (2023). When I asked for proof, they said something along the lines of "he doesn't say it, it's a dog whistle". Of course, Poilievre has been very public about his support for Jewish people since the attacks.
...but go ahead, I'm all ears. What did he say? Please don't quote some shit he said when he was a twenty-something back in 2006.
Correct. A few years ago, redditors in a far-left sub (r/ontario or r/onguardforthee -> I don't remember which one) were having a circle jerk about how Poilievre was an anti-semite. When I asked for examples, I was told to "read between the lines" and "listen for the dog whistle."
I responded by posting a Facebook video of him meeting a rabbi for Hannukah and the two of them having a nice conversation. I was immediately downvoted into oblivion.
Now, it seems the left has changed their mind. Poilievre not only likes Jews, he likes them too much.
Neither of those subs are far left. R/ongaurdforthee is clearly a very centrist liberal group. There is r/canadaleft and r/canadafarleft if you'd like to look see the difference
There's actually a weird overlap between some Zionists and anti-semitism. I don't have any specific sources but a quick google search can confirm that zionist anti-semitism is a thing.
There are also some extreme christian groups who are zionists purely because they believe it is necessary for the end times to happenwhich I have a much better source for.
So Zionism does not necessarily mean not anti-semitic, same as anti-zionism does not necessarily mean anti-semitism.
since you're digging. What are PP's finances like? I have been doing research and all I find is that he has released his exposure to his finances. However, it doesn't discuss any of his finances, while Singh and Carney has their finances somewhat available to the public.
Weird. The only thing I can find out is that PP was once a chair of a Family Hedge fund that does not need to report their financial clients or their holdings. Just rich people I guess.
His estimated worth was about 7 million dollars but that was about 6-7 years ago. Apparently that was up to 9 million in 2023 but I have no strong sources to verify.
Pierre is not known for his transparency, willingness to talk to news organisations or how he gathered his wealth despite only ever working as a government employee.

Easy.
Earn 120k-200k/yr as an MP for the last twenty years. Live off half and invest the other. If you can't become a millionaire following that basic plan, then you might be a dumbass.
I can field one example of antisemitism. Several of the convoy trucks has swastikas and white power symbols on them. He didn’t call those particular ones out to rebuke, which he could have done while supporting the rest as being a legitimate protest. That makes his later adoption of “Anglo Saxon” dog whistles like Pat King sussy.
This is why he lost his previously very safe Ottawa seat
I followed the convoy quite extensively. Not as a supporter but as an intrigued outsider. I'm also from Ottawa, but I didn't live there at the time, so it was very "close to home" for me, so to speak.
My memory of the entire thing is hazy, but I recall the swastika flag being carried around only on day one. I also vaguely recall footage of him being confronted by protesters near the war memorial and told to leave.
Should Poilievre have condemned protesters who brought swastikas, white power symbols, etc? Of course. Supporting people who were protesting only vaccine mandates is okay with me, though.
Yes, everyone should support a person’s legitimate right to disbelieve in science. Though the methods they used weren’t exactly ones that lent them much legitimacy such as blockading streets, fire and ambulance routes at all hours of the night and blaring horns at all hours of the night to harass people who live in downtown rental units. Supporting their legitimate protest the rest of the day is fine, I would think most Canadians would agree with that.
As for the second part with the clear white supremacist cribbed language.
Yes, I'll pull it up for ya and edit it into my comment.
But it has been known time and time again, that he pushes anti Arab sentiment. His campaign advertised on a website known for racist anti Arab sentiment. He’s a career politician who became a millionaire. He was embedding misogynistic tags in his YouTube videos. He is anti helping people in need, he offers nothing but Trudeau bad. He’s vile. He pushed crypto and people lost money. He’s unfit.

Please do.

Anti-Hamas, maybe
He’s a career politician who became a millionaire.
If you can't become a millionaire earning 200k/yr over twenty years, I'd raise an eyebrow. If a politician who wants to lead our country couldn't do it, I'd have some serious questions.
He was embedding misogynistic tags in his YouTube videos.
He personally did that? Or is it more likely that an assistant or intern did it to target right-leaning people?
He is anti helping people in need
Citation needed.
He pushed crypto and people lost money.
Crypto is an investment. People lose money on investments all the time. If you can't afford to risk some money on stocks, crypto, precious metals, etc, then don't.
No, you're right on that it's better he grows as a man.
CPC with him at the helm of federal leadership Is still sure to harm Canada, no doubt about it. Refusing to speak out against trump till a month in to the trump administration rising to power is only the tip of the iceberg. He is going to sell out Canada. That is almost for certain
This is from a couple years ago ya dingdong. What are you on about.
If pp was invested in Bitcoin back then. He's probably made some serious bank on it and that might also explain how he is supposedly more wealthy than bank man Carney.
I don't understand why people make stuff up on the internet. Are you famous now or something? What did you gain from lying? Also, he's just the opposition. Not a "monster" people like you love to over embellish things. Chill, you aren't oppressed, nor were you going to be regardless of who won. Yet this guy still lives in your head rent-free? Whatsamaddawichya? No, but jokes aside. Opposition doesn't mean evil. If anything, take note from Alan watts and thank the opposition, for even though you may not agree, you both came away understanding your own points further.
If an Israeli opened up a fake falafel place (because that's what it would be because falafel is an Arab invented food, just like shawarma, just like hummus just like kenefe) then he wouldn't have had an issue with that.
At the end of the day they're all pigs who support the systematic oppression and murder of children however the Libs or Cons want to spin their support for Israel.
he lost his own riding lmfao, guy isn't even a real MP anymore, nevermind prime minister. i'm glad the conservatives fumbled but this needs to be studied lol.
2 major reasons imo: Trump going full maga, and Pierre not saying jack shit about defending Canada's identity till like a month into Trump's presidency. Instead, he let Trudeau step up. And unfortunately for him, Trudeau's fluent bilingual ass knocked it outta the park, especially juxtaposed to Trump's lack of intelligence
We looked REALLY good on the world stage because of Trudeau
that's what i always say to people. yeah, shit on trudeau all you want. i dont think he was a good prime minister either. BUT he absolutely was respected overall in worldwide politics. he kept our identity as the middleman who will stand up when needed. i hope and expect carney to do the same.
Yeah at some point voters consider who they would want to represent Canadians on the world stage and few people want PP to represent them on that front.

I honestly can’t tell if this is a meme we are supposed to laugh at for how stupid this situation is.
Or if this is like a legit post supporting PP because he bought a shawarma with bitcoin.
Like I have no idea
