What other person needs to have 'seeming human' coaches?

It's up to *us* to not let this malignant barnacle get away with PRETENDING TO BE THE SAVIOUR for 'hard working Canadians'
Poilievre and the Conservatives can't be trusted to stand up for workers September 10, 2022 Bruske: Poilievre loud on rhetoric, but silent on his real agenda OTTAWA-With his lengthy anti-worker track record and history of cutting health care, Pierre Poilievre's election as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is a concern for working families, warned Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour Congress. "Pierre Poilievre has used populist rhetoric to hide away his real agenda. But his long track record of attacking workers' rights and siding with profitable corporations over everyday people makes clear the kind of leader he would be if he gained power," warned Bruske. "While Mr. Poilievre talks loudly about inflation, he cannot be counted on to push companies to increase workers' pay to keep up with skyrocketing inflation." Conservative MP Repeatedly Refuses To Say If Pierre Poilievre Supports Giving Workers a Raise "Ok, I'm just going to register that's not an answer to the direct question" P by Luke LeBrun, Editor April 27, 2023 Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives are explicitly refusing to take any position whatsoever on whether striking federal workers deserve better wages. Despite a long history advocating unconstitutional anti-worker laws, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has lately been railing against sky-rocketing inflation in an attempt to reinvent himself as a friend of "working-class people." 10 TIMES PIERRE POILIEVRE ATTACKED OUR LABOUR RIGHTS (not the only times, they don't all fit!) 06/23/11 voted to order Canada Post workers back to work. 03/13/12 voted to order Air Canada workers back to work. 04/30/12 voted to support raising age of retirement. 05/16/12 voted to support raising age of retirement again. 05/29/12 voted to order CP Rail workers back to work. 12/12/12 voted for Bill C-377, undermining unions. 04/09/14 voted for Bill C-525, undermining unions, again. 09/28/16 voted to let your boss use scabs if you go on strike. 11/28/18 voted for Bill C-405, attacking right to keep pensions. 04/03/19 voted to let your boss use scabs if you go on strike, again. Statement from CUPE on Pierre Poilievre winning Conservative Party leadership Sep 10, 2022 Statement from Mark Hancock, National President of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), on Pierre Poilievre winning the Conservative Party leadership: "It's too bad that, unlike Andrew Scheer, Pierre Poilievre does not hold American citizenship, because he would be right at home as Governor of a state like Alabama. Pierre is a career politician who has been collecting a six-figure salary on the public's dime since he was 24, and he's spent every minute of his time in office fighting against fair wages, good pensions and a better life for working people. He is not a worker, and he definitely doesn't get w means to be a member of the working class

On that note, I'll recommend the film 'Jesus' Son' (starring Billy Crudup) based on Johnson short stories 🥰

The Poilievre Cons really attract the winners.
Lawton said German women "deserve" to be sexually assaulted because of their immigration policy. He called the commemoration of the Polytechnique massacre where 14 women were murdered a "fake holiday" supported by "feminazis". He denounced gay marriage, attacked Pride week and was suspended from his job for a homophobic Facebook post. He attacked Muslims, deaf people and joked that women shouldn't speak unless given permission.

'Once this is gone, it's gone': A plan to build a condo next to this Toronto ravine has angered locals. Now, even the city may not be able to stop it The proposal breaks city regulations meant to guard environmentally sensitive areas, but the developer has appealed to the provincial land tribunal. Dec. 2, 2025 5 min read(1) C Edward Cyr said the proposed development for the Glen Stewart ravine calls into question society's priorities. By Ben Cohen City Hall Bureau To Edward Cyr, the Glen Stewart Ravine is a vision of beauty and tranquility. More than that, it's a place of worship, built by the divine. "I come and I pray here," says Cyr, who is Algonquin from Kebaowek First Nations in Quebec and who lives near the ravine. "Sometimes, I come down here when I need to be alone can't be in my apartment anymore." when I The ravine is also coloured by the "profound sadness" of his godson's death. It's where he and the young boy's family go to honour him, on the anniversaries of his birth and his death. Cyr buried the boy's placenta here to link him with the earth. They asked that the boy's name and cause of death not be shared for publication. "Why isn't this place important?" Cyr asks, gesturing around him. Cyr is referring to a controversial, decade-long plan to build a midrise on the slope of the same ravine at Kingston Road and Beech Avenue. The project is described by the developers online as a "one-of-a-kind boutique condominium, overlooking lush ravine space." It would be 11 storeys tall with 99 units, plus 32 parking spaces and retail on the ground floor. It's also a project that would break Toronto environmental guidelines. City officials have spent years trying to stymie it, but the matter is now before provincial adjudicators. Unless Cyr and others can sway them.

Poilievre and the Cons are *consistently* on the side OPPOSITE of protecting the health and safety of Canadians.

It's like one of their trademark planks at this point.

Poilievre has also promised to ban all current and future vaccine mandates, going so far as to propose legislation in the last Parliament. As we are witnessing with re-emergence of diseases like measles, discouraging vaccines has deadly consequences. Poilievre has since branched out to fighting Health Canada regulation of natural health supplements to ensure they are safe, attacking harm reduction strategies to prevent drug overdoses and promising to fire health experts in the public service, or, as Poilievre calls them, "bureaucrats who push taxpayer-funded drug handouts." On each of these policy issues, Poilievre is mimicking Trump.

@JuliusGoat It's very important to understand, fascists don't just see hypocrisy as a necessary evil. It's not that it's an unintended side-effect. It's the purpose. The ability to enjoy yourself the thing you're able to deny others, because you dominate, is the whole point. 6:37 AM 21 Aug 20

David Frum, as the proverbial broken clock...
David Frum on the Bulwark podcast: "You can warn your friend that he is being conned, and he will get angry at you. And when the whole thing comes crashing down and he loses his money, and he can no longer deny that you were right, he will never forgive you. He will forgive the crook, but he will not forgive the people who warned him about the crook. The crook just took his money. But you made him feel dumb."

I think this is the bit that confounds most of us most of all.

They were "surprised" by it from him?

Are they lying? or are/were they truly incapable of recognizing the stunningly obvious lack of empathy *before* voting for him?

I'm glad the ad team for this brand of paper towels chose to underscore this unique feature.

Who knew you didn't *have* to use the entire roll all at once? 😒
