"radical, woke coalition with the NDP"
The first 15 seconds of this video is an example of where Pierre Poilievre loses me. I'm all for less taxes and fiscal restraint in government. But I struggle to support someone who wants to be the leader of our country when they use words like "woke" and "radical". It's ridiculous and unbecoming of a leader, and frankly I can't take him seriously. It speaks to someone who has a list of buzz words in his head and is trying his best to say these buzz words to appease a certain crowd. And I'm not in that crowd. As such, I don't feel like he speaks to me.
Based on some of the posters in this thread and their responses to Poilievre, I'd wager to bet that some flat out hate his use of rhetoric like this while others like him for this very reason. It's very polarizing and divisive language. Any notion that Poilievre won't be divisive is flatly wrong. He's proved it time and time again, that this is how he makes waves in politics. It actually reminds me a lot of Jason Kenney. I'm not saying it won't be successful. I'm just suggesting that I don't like it.
His dismissive language of the Liberal/NDP partnership is then immediately highlighted by hypocrisy when he says the Conservative Party under his leadership will be open to working with other parties. Ok? How do you take this guy seriously? So, Liberals and NDP working together is a "woke, radical coalition" but the Conservatives are open to working with other parties too? How am I to see the leadership qualities in this? It comes across as juvenile and ridiculous.
Please don't misinterpret this as I somehow support or like Trudeau. I think they're both entirely unlikable politicians, albeit for different reasons.
