    If Poilievre would just stop with the dick-measuring contest and start talking about what he will do to fix shit in Canada, he’d be kicking Trudeau’s ass in the polls.

    But that’s too far out of his wheelhouse I guess. Seems he’s just rehashing Harper’s playbook and the hell I’d vote for that crap.

      Maybe? I don’t know, politics can be pretty dumb. It’s entirely possible a platform that aligns well with his caucus politics and is obviously better than Trudeau’s doesn’t exist.

      Why should he give the Liberals any ideas well before election time? His party isn’t governing, it’s not his job to come up with solutions.

        Because it might show that he was capable and able to work with others in the interestof Canadians, instead of trying to score points over the Liberals.

        Isn’t getting his policies enacted the point of being a politician? The Liberals copying him would actually achieve that.

            Yes, hypothetical policies. At the moment his strategy is literally to not talk about them or even make them so that nobody can rip them apart too much before he’s elected and can enact them. We’ll see how that goes.

            I seem to remember he made a proposal about housing or something in passing one time, and I actually thought it was decent, but he didn’t bring it up ever again and I can’t remember the details now.

          So far the Liberals don’t want to enact his policies. The CPC has generated many bills since 2015 and I don’t think any of them passed.

            That’s a good question actually. Has Trudeau passed any CPC bills? I know bills pass with multi-party support fairly often in Canada - just not the exciting ones that get coverage.
