It appears that conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has a careful plan. He never bothers to fry small fish. It was very evident in the past week that he was not going to waste his resources on House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota.
Mr. Rota had made a mistake. It seems that one of his guests to hear the speech by the Ukrainian president Zelenskyy to the house of commons had not been properly vetted.by Canada’s pathetic security apparatchiks.
But would Mr. Poilievre be satisfied with the resignation of the house speaker? No, he only wants to attack Mr. Trudeau. If a flying insect got into his soup in the parliamentary dining room, Mr. Poilievre would blame Mr. Trudeau.
It is not as though Mr. Trudeau is entirely blameless. He is just not some kind of God who sees the sparrow fall. As much as Mr. Poilievre holds Mr. Trudeau to fault for the world-wide pandemic and the strains on the provincial medical systems that suffered so much criticism while doing their very best throughout the worst of the pandemic. If anything is to blame for the current animosities across our county, it is the disparate and piecemeal Medicare system in Canada. As hard as the federal government worked to get people to pull together, Mr. Poilievre was there in parliament, trying to pull things apart.
As the pandemic abates, Mr. Poilievre turned his attention to the world-wide inflation that ensued from the pent-up failures of the world’s distribution systems. Of course, he blamed Mr. Trudeau again.
Like the rotten child who starts killing flies by pulling off their wings, Mr. Poilievre uses peoples’ pain and hate, to seduce them. If you did not hate someone before listening to him, you will when he is finished.
It is a wonder what the conservative leader would do if he did not have Mr.Trudeau to insult and accuse and lie about. Mr. Trudeau can make his own mistakes. He hardly needs Mr. Poilievre to dream up new ones for him.
