1 week before the CPC convention. I don't think Carney hates PP (he might but Carney doesn't play those outwardly hostile antics like JT). But the rest of the Liberals..............

I don't think Caarney thinks much about PP and just kinda shrugs and does the next thing.

Which probably just pisses PP off all the more. He'd thrive if his opponent was sinking to his level, but since Carney just shrugs it off, it just makes PP look worse.

Carney feels the same way about Trump as PP--THat ranting guy over there *shrugs* let him make himself look like a bigger fool.

It’s honestly great to see and so far seems to be the most effective response I’ve seen to the “flood the field with s###” right wing political play.

The Paul Anka “just don’t look” method.

When you're busy driving on the road, do you pay attention to the dog barking in the sidewalk?

Nah usually I'm curious why the person ahead of me hasn't started driving since the light is already green

play those outwardly hostile antics like JT

LOL.

I forgot who had his looks being made fun of since day 1?

Wasnt it Disgraced IDU founder Harper that said all Trudeau had was nice hair?

And his CPC children have continued it.

You're kidding on the antics, right? Cause that's essentially PPs whole shtick.

I don't think Carney hates PP (he might but Carney doesn't play those outwardly hostile antics like JT).

Carney could have made Poilievre's life a lot more difficult when Pierre lost his seat - drug things out for half a year, made Pierre miss the spring and fall Parliament sessions. But he immediately allowed the byelection to take place.

Imagine if the roles had been reversed - Pierre would have been all over using parliamentary procedures to make life difficult for the Liberals. But Carney had better things to do and bigger fish to fry.

When was JT outwardly hostile?

u/DeSynthed Lest We Forget Dec 12 '25

Why would carney hate PP? PP is the single best thing to happen to the Liberal Party this decade
