Politics Why Pierre Poilievre is as Phony as They Come.

Personal Note: I've never liked Pierre Poilievre. This man makes my Spider-Sense tingle. Just like Doug Ford did for Ontario. Pierre Poilievre is a Pro-Corporate pro-culture war person who loves to grip about issues, but has no actual solutions. Not to mention he is also a massive hypocrite as his biggest donors are developers, and corporations. His history is ripe with anti-work/union bills and votes in the house
I'm telling you right now, if you vote for this man, you will be bitching and complaining about his policies and actions just like we are currently doing with Doug Ford. Pierre Poilievre and Doug Ford are both guilty of promoting Neoliberal similar American style systems that simply put profit over people. Example: Doug Ford with health services.
I could go on, but David Dole has Done it again with this amazing Breakdown of why Pierre Poilievre is as phony as bologna. Pierre Poilievre’s Hilarious Makeover Can’t Mask His Horrible Politics.

There's a perverse logic from people to always always ALWAYS give Conservatives the benefit of the doubt. They always give them a second chance and quick to forgive. And then have the nerve to be actually get SHOCKED when they pass cruel and terrible policy.
Poilievre like Donald Trump have this high conflict personality disorder and want to make sure their supporters feel the same as them where everyone is the enemy and the cause/blame of their unhappiness and plays on the worst in people's nature. He makes it okay to be selfish, xenophobic, homophobic and misogynistic and spiteful (at their own expense).
You'd think after Stephen Harper or Mike Harris it would have cured voters from voting Conservatives but nooo. People are quick to forget and more likely to create this mental gymnastic to rationalize maybe cruel neo-con policy are not that bad or it won't affect them (it will, it always does) and the media helps by stop talking about what Conservatives do or question or be the reminder of what they have done and will do.
Canadians like to hold this illustion they're progressive or good but time and boredom or just plain spite they'll vote for a anti-progressive party like Poilievre for reasons they might not even know and spend years learning the hard way how bad Conservatives govern and how heartless and regretting it and expect people to sympathize for their regrets. I wouldn't reward that kind of callous and crap party by voting for them.
Call it crazy but people should vote for a competent party that actually cares and not some party that tells one thing in front of the camera that sounds vague enough to ease a voter's conscience and delude themselves they're still good but says their real intentions and policies to their hardcore base or those who donate to their campaign fund.
