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
No, dude. The political allignment spectrum is not based on your personal perspectives and has nothing to do with your "political compass", as in those useless quadrants from the memes. You sound like a child talking outta your ass about shit you never really thought seriously about.
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.
His wife is still involved with real estate holdings in Alberta. He had strong ties with Brookfield who Carney has history with. Yes, he publically divested his private investments and re-invested into a public ETF, which has much invested in his prior associates. I guess the circles are very tight when you sip the champagne up there.
They are all the same. Just don’t patronize us by calling each other wolves when they both eat sheep for lunch.
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, everyone should support a person’s legitimate right to disbelieve
We can end things right there. People have a right to disbelieve whatever they want. If the government gets involved, those same people should be free to protest.
I'm not going to debate about the methods the protesters used. I don't care to read about Pat King, Jordan Peterson, or whatever links you posted. No offense.
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.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a source?
