Have to agree that pp is not trump and agree he s running up a very big debt to some paranoid powers . I do not see him controlling a mob in any way. They let him carry their Tims.

Who is pulling strings from behind the scenes?
It seems the Prime Minister and the Liberals agree with you about negative ads. I do not see much positive coming out about the governments' many accomplishments, and I say this as a non supporter of the Liberals in happier times. They have to start tooting what they ve done right. It s a lot. They re staying mum. A wily old Communications DG once told me the rule is: Tell em what you re gonna tell em, Tell em, Tell em what you told em.
She accomplished a lot in a no good news portfolio like DIAND back in the 90s.
No one is following that directive today.
I am not taking issue with you because you re one of the voices who tell the truth but isn t it a testimony to the deteriorated media coverage these days that you need to host a private forum to get your messaging out there? The Big Lie is prevailing. Growing. My point is that the truth isnt getting presented much at all, never mind enough to counter the lies. People are infused with lies on facebook, X and every streaming vehicle and whatever else folk use. I play a personal whack a mole turning him off. He just keeps popping back up.
I d love to see a Bob Stanfield or Joe Clark Conservative in charge again. Hell I d vote for a Diefenbaker as my grandmother proudly did if it turned the tide away from neo fascism. O Toole might be on the right track personally, but he couldn t get elected.
I wonder what it will take to turn voters back to sense. I probably won t live that long. But I m very glad your voice is out here, wherever you get seen and heard.
Thank you for your reply. I am grateful you are doing what you re doing and I hope more people get to hear you.
I think we're at the center of a number of problems that just happen to be crashing together right now. It's a tough time for all governments, and the feds are wearing that; the Trudeau government is just not functional or functioning like it used to be; the media is stretched thin *and* its readership has gone off a cliff; a segment of the conservative base has become essentially radicalized in hatred of this government/liberalism; and the 4.5-way electoral split is pushing everyone into more desperate measures.
Some of these problems are going to have to give. Some sooner than others. What we desperately need, in my view, is a few things to focus on, as a kind of ideological north star, that we can all agree on. Joe Biden is trying this, to some success, with some of his big infrastructure bills — it's a program that, I think, will take deeper effect over the next year. Canada just doesn't have that, and it's incumbent on the government to figure out just what the hell that thing is. If they don't, I think the divisions end up getting much more acute.
Man if you could just watch the glaze across the faces of my innocent and kindly neighbours whenever they hear the name Trudeau....
and BTW I live in Eastern Canada where no national print news exists. Irving owns the bit of local news and the intrepid little Halifax Examiner is struggling to stay afloat on line.
The Cons own the story and they have no shame in the tear downs.
Yes if only we could figure out what to work on together. And get the story together...

Brainwashing is a real thing.
