The problem is not with Poilievre, though he should be more bold, but with weak CPC members. We who have them as our MPs must make sure they know we’re mad as hell and we won’t take it anymore.

Conservatives need to raise issues — they need to get their heads out of the sand and start being a party with some backbone. Poilievre is a wimp, a great public speaker, but lacks the will to set the world on fire. He is afraid to take a stand, as it might go against the false narrative being peddled by the left. He goes with the tide but flounders when the waves get rough. Canada is in deep trouble, and what it needs is a strong leader. Unfortunately, Poilievre is not the answer. It is no surprise that two members of the Conservative Party have defected. One more and we end up with a majority government. Carney knows some members are not happy with Portiere’s leadership and is taking full advantage of the situation. They had a chance to defeat the government with a non-confidence vote, but understood there was little chance of succeeding if an election was called. Happy days are here again!

Maybe I saw too many spy movies, but what if this MP was actually a Liberal mole. His apparent defection to that party could have been designed to create chaos inside the Conservatives, resulting in a sackings and expulsions. People, then, might be afraid to cast a ballot for the Tories, fearing that the candidate in their riding might turn out to have other ideas after being elected.
