As a Country – we deserve better

My indigenous great-grandfather, who did go to residential school, built a farmhouse with his own hands. He also fought in WWI. Lived to be 104. I met him when I was a little kid. Certainly a much more admirable and responsible man than Pierre Poilievre.

Big talk from the guy whose never worked a day in his life

Pierre Poilievre is not a leader nor does he have a clue of what a day of hard work means.

Dear Canada, Please don’t elect conservative idiots into power. Don’t be like America.

Says the millionaire who never worked a day in his life … on stolen ground …

He really is maple trump (no offense to maple trees or their wonderful product)

Attacking Indigenous people is a thing with the conservatives.

President Trump questions Native American birthright

Canada, stand united. The next election is very important. Vote and vote informed.

This election is between democracy and tech tyranny. Understand what is Trump’s and Elon’s vision for their bleak future and how your vote matters in Canada’s election. Their ambitions don’t stop at the American  border.

Introducing, the Andrew Jackson of Canada.

He is such a twat

Pierre is a career politician. Guy knows fuck all about a hard day’s work.

‘Canada’s Aboriginals need to learn the value of doing minimum wage work that wealthy European colonizers can profit from more than we need to take responsibility for the horrors we have imposed on them’.

There, fixed it for you. Asshole.

i was all on board to give conservatives my vote so we could have a change in this country. up until PP opened his fucking mouth.

we have to keep this guy away from power no matter the cost.

Source for the quotation?

There’s no need to distort the truth, [This happened in 2008 not 2018. ](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/conservative-mp-apologizes-for-hurtful-comments-on-aboriginal-people-1.712106)Truth matters.

Someone took a pretty standard picture of grown-up-but-still-wearing-glasses-regular-angry Pierre Poilievre and pasted his “quote” **from 2008 and labeled it 2018**. [That exact same picture already exists with that “quote” and the more accurate June 2008 date.](https://www.instagram.com/jacqualine_haller/reel/DEpChh_pKJK/) He looked like a little kid asshole playing grown up in his dad’s suit when he originally said this.

I use quote in quotations because I can’t be bothered to track down the original audio from an Ottawa radio program in 2008. but **this seems to be paraphrasing what he actually said in 2008** [“My view is that we need to engender the values of hard work and independence and self-reliance. That’s the solution in the long run — more money will not solve it,” Poilievre said.](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/conservative-mp-apologizes-for-hurtful-comments-on-aboriginal-people-1.712106)

Truth matters, even with this asshole, maybe more so. There’s probably someone over in whatever angry version of r/canada making up quotes about Mark Carney. They sure did with Trudeau, Freeland, any Liberal. **The OP should remove this and re-up it with the actual quote** and an actual picture of Pierre Poilievre from that era, and they could still make their point. And more importantly because over 3,000 people upvoted something that distorts the truth, and of the over 500 comments very few people questioned the accuracy. That’s dangerous for all of us, no matter which side you’re on. Be on truth’s side and make your case.
