You said PP ALWAYS gives detailed answers, and Carney avoids answering questions.

You sure about that?
Are you sure the guy who is actively not allowing media to have opportunities to ask questions isn't the one who is avoiding answering questions?
With the history of the mainstream media being hostile to the CPC and Pierre, I could see the way he is handling their questions as being completely reasonable. Same goes for Carney, the mainstreamed media has been nothing but a Liberal propaganda machine for the last decade and probably longer, and they currently all receive liberal government funding. With this kind of government media sponsorship your can't be surprised by the way the different parties respond.

I find it absolutely hilarious that you're still going on about "Drama teacher" when in the end, Trudeau completed more schooling to become that teacher than Poilievre has in his ENTIRE career.

Like ####. So dense hahaha.

People so deep inside a cult typically don't realize they're inside one.

News flash: YOU are MAGA.

Ah, yes, at totally reasonable thought out response, but sorry 8/10.
You forgot to say "Fake News"

Let's say I accept your premise, let's compare and contrast.

PP: Ignores questions from "Main stream media" because he claims they are liberal propaganda machines.

Carney: Actually takes questions from, and responds to Rebel News, an ACTUAL conservative propaganda machine.

Also, let's consider the difference here:

Why would each be considered a propaganda machine?
Main Stream Media: PP thinks they are a propaganda machine because they report facts he doesn't like

Rebel News: Everyone thinks they are a propaganda machine because they actively report verifiably false information, and write mostly nothing but oped pieces that are strictly attack pieces.

But yeah, PP is the grownup in the room.

Trudeau is a spoiled rich kid with no life experience who got elected to pm using his father's name and history. Id like to see his transcript, just going to school doesn't make you automatically a smart person. We all know Trudeau is not at all intelligent.

I'm guessing you've never watched the news in Canada.

Do you believe that government should give money to media? What about over a billion dollars to media? This is ok to you? You don't believe it has any influence?

That's great for you, I assume you have pictures with dates as you can't just say things like this without proof on this message board. I assume you also saw who they were voting for and have photographic proof. I've never seen a maga hat except for on the Internet.

Stickman is a great example of how rage farming, misinformation, and political victimhood can lead a voter to support the most empty of suits for reasons even they can't explain.
