Fuck Smith. God damn her.

I was gonna say that it’s very suspicious for him to want to “renegotiate” right away. More like he’s looking to completely sell us out. Fuck smöl _pp.

Summary of “New Biography Ripper Delivers a Searing and Convincing Critique of Pierre Poilievre”

This article reviews Mark Bourrie’s biography “Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre,” which portrays the Conservative Leader as an unchanged political figure since his teenage years in Calgary’s Reform Party backrooms.

Key Points:

• Bourrie characterizes Poilievre as “the political equivalent of a hockey goon” and a “ripper” who sees politics as war
• The biography argues Poilievre hasn’t evolved his tactics or outlook since adolescence
• Poilievre is described as the “angriest person on Canada’s political stage” and “the nastiest leader of a major party” in Canadian history
• The book covers Poilievre’s rise from teenage volunteer to Conservative Leader, highlighting his aggressive communication style and effective media tactics
• Bourrie acknowledges Poilievre’s strengths as a constituency member and family man, but questions his ability to unite the country

The reviewer, Charlotte Gray, calls the biography “a searing but convincing critique” that shows how Poilievre’s confrontational politics found success amid declining traditional journalism and changing socioeconomic conditions. She notes that recent events (the Liberal leadership race and Trump’s tariff threat) have potentially undermined Poilievre’s electoral strategy, suggesting voters may decide “an angry ripper may not be what Canada needs right now.”

The article is from The Globe and Mail, published April 1, 2025, during the Canadian federal election campaign.

My Americans Guilty Again

US oligarchs want Canada’s resources. Krasnov absolutely doesn’t need anything from Canada, but Canada should absolutely join as 51st state, and he’s willing to fight for our freedom and protect Canadians with weaponized economic policies aimed at us.

Suddenly, we’re having a national election to choose between a Komplete Krasnov sellout and a finance bro. Krasnov supports the sellout. Then he supports the finance bro when asked to distance himself from the sellout because it’s hurting his numbers in the polls.

Recent numbers show that our youngest citizens are falling for Krasnov’s 51st state rhetoric that is being trumpeted on his oligarchs’ social media platforms. Poilievre wants to end dissent by de-funding our dissenting voice, the CBC. This would allow Krasnov’s state media to be the only media in Canada.

Don’t fall for the lies out there. We absolutely need the CBC as the only national voice that’s not beholden to the Krasnov oligarchs.

Helping a country defend itself is not a proxy war, it’s foundational to being Canadian.

And why give tax cuts to real estate profiteers that are fixing our market at unattainable, unrentable rates?

They said they were 18!

I thought this was Ameritocracy ^TM

I think they’re referring to him being a scapegoat for the whole team. Common practice in Washington.

I thought this was Ameritocracy^TM

He’d rather not say. Good thing he’s not getting elected. It’s almost like he did a cost-benefit analysis and decided it would cost him too much personally to get elected as PM.

I mean, how do we cut taxes AND increase spending? Trump-style Tariffs for thee and not for me?

This country needs an education on tax reform for the 1%. Since corporations are people, they’re in the 1%, also.

This is some real old white guy, how did this get here i am not good with computer energy lmfao

I thought there is no such thing as climate change. They’ve been denying it for 50 years. So why would they need immunity from prosecution for their part in an entirely natural/imaginary process?

Politicians must heed the call. That’s why we hired them. And Politicians DGAF.

People must work and buy more plastic crap. /s

Dude’s gonna be chasing that dragon for the rest of his life.

If he becomes PM, he just ‘gets’ security clearance.

My understanding is that it’s required as the PM, and no PM has ever been denied due to the screening process.

Not a Con here, but it does seem shady that he’s not in the know about anything and doesn’t want his ties publicized.
