The guy who sure made a big deal of “I don’t care” during cancellations and “💩” for official comment requests, suddenly demanding empathy and getting the Republican caucus and media circuit to throw him a pity party is undoubtedly the “white persecution” he continues to push.

Who needs satire.

It’s kind of burying the lede to just remark PP is likened to “Trump light.” He has likened himself by exclusively pulling from Trump’s playbook, with the divisive rhetoric, outright untruths, dog-whistling, name calling, verb the noun slogans, and quite literally “Canada First” signs he still hangs in his speeches.

In Alberta he’s repeatedly espoused support for Danielle Smith’s insane policies, her personal hero and inspiration being the real “Trump light,” Ron DeSantis. Nevermind they have openly acknowledged (before the craziness) they’d rather work with Poiliviere, and he’s been heralded in the MAGA circles as Canada’s Trump moment (with a complete absence of the irony).

If he put on 200 lbs and lost all natural skin color, he’d be a slightly more articulate Trump impersonation.

Sure, it’s absolutely valid that Trump has massively helped Liberals in the polls.

It’s also true that the Conservatives attempt to emulate Trump’s populist rhetoric also blew up in a post Trump victory, as they themselves drew the comparisons.

Confirmed already; $1-5M lunch buy-ins with corporate execs per head - the topic? Tariff exemptions.

Who cares about billions and trillions of wealth destruction of the public coffers when he can make millions per day personally?
