Yeah, because Pierre doesn't allow journalists to ask unscripted questions because he's a fucking loser. Whenever I see a conservative sign in someone's yard I instantly think "you're a fucking idiot"

This. But I feel it's a problem for me. I have a brother who votes Conservative. And I just have a hard time with it because the party's platforms aren't actually in his and his family's interests, but I think as a white man he feels they speak to him and he likes the simplicity (eg, Fuck Trudeau, immigrants are raising the cost of living). After years of listening to Joe Rogan, it's predictable probably. But I have a hard time relating to him. I need to think about how to approach our next conversation. Because I think he's so dumb, and it riles me up (!!!) because this is democracy, not just his shitty taste in podcasts (ie, JR). /ventover

and he likes the simplicity

And the conservatives offer answers for complex problems that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Hey I got inlaws that will do the same damn thing lol. Talk about their issues and they all are things the cons won't help with

I think it could be productive to not think of him as dumb, but as being taken advantage of by people with their own interests in mind. We are all humans and it's easy to see the other as different, but I think we are way more similar than we are distinct and as a relative, coming at it with empathy and maybe humor could bring the heat of the conversation down a couple of notches. Anyway it kinda worked for me I think, so take it with a grain of salt.

Most media in Canada are owned by Americans. Can imagine why PP gets a free ride.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but... which media? Whose media? Toronto Sun? National Post? Rebel Media? (LOL!)

[–] ninthant@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Carney has taken questions from mainstream media, as well as from overly partisan hostile alternative media.

PP gets a friendlier media, does fewer questions, and still fails to do anything beyond tossing out well-rehearsed empty slogans and stammering out word salad.

Seriously. Dumb fuck can't go more than two sentences without throwing out "woke ______" and doesn't even answer the questions being asked.

Speaks poorly of the state of education and people's critical thinking abilities that this schmuck was ever elected an MP, let alone has a significant following as a party leader.

At least PP's being honest about wanting to remove all our rights and freedoms. /s

I'm glad he's gone mask off completely. Lets us see his true self plainly.
