but.... but.... I thought it was about the wind, and how it was carrying the smoke over the *gasp* border. So, Chrystia Freeland told the little creep to f'off, did she? Of course he'd say what he said. Wimpy criminal that he is. Oh, and Canada screwing the States? .... read on... ⬇️ #cdnpoli

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

....For those spared the spectacle, a brief summary: at the Calgary Stampede, Pierre Poilievre celebrated Kerry Lynne Findlay’s victory in the British Columbia Conservative leadership race as a win over “Liberal lobbyists from out East.”
The people he described were not Liberals. They were Kory Teneycke, Nick Kouvalis, and Anthony Koch, among the most accomplished Conservative operatives in the country. What followed were days of digital crossfire involving former Poilievre communications directors, columnists, influencers, and operatives, culminating in Brian Lilley asking in print whether the leader is serious about winning and Ben Woodfinden, who gave years to Poilievre’s office, confessing he has never been more depressed about the state of conservative politics in this country.
Everyone involved believes they are right. Some probably are. Here is the thing about being right in politics: it doesn’t matter. Winning elections is the point. Not winning the argument.
Which brings me to the onus. In any organization, responsibility for cohesion rises with rank. A volunteer can hold a grudge. A staffer can nurse a grievance. A columnist can keep score. The leader cannot. The leader of a political party cannot be one combatant among many because the leader is the only person whose job includes the coalition itself. When the leader picks a fight, it is not a fight; it is a fracture. When the leader can end a fight and declines to do so, HE is the cause of the fracture.
This is the hardest lesson in our movement’s history....
There is no version of internal conservative warfare that ends well. There are only two versions: the one where the leader stops it early, and the one where it stops him....
...Every other participant in this brawl can afford to be right. The leader can only afford to win. If mending fences with Doug Ford and his team adds a single point in Ontario, the phone call costs nothing, and pride is not a reason.
Canadian voters are watching a party that trails in the polls ripping itself apart. They will draw the obvious conclusion: a party that cannot govern itself cannot govern the country....
...His entire ego and self-image is wrapped up and frozen in time in 2024, where it looked like he was going to be prime minister. Now that it is very clear to everyone in the world, except perhaps him and a handful of trolls online, that that ain't ever going to happen, he's trying to recast the decision from 'Who do you want to have be prime minister?' to 'Who should be the leader of the opposition....Wow!
...You saw professional weirdo Jamil Jivani out with more weird comments. And clearly he is under the control of no one ... The fact that he can't get along with leadership isn't a surprise. This is somebody who's essentially sued every former employer he's had or left on very bad terms. This is a guy who you're going to have problems with, and you could see that train coming 20 miles down the tracks. But, add it all together, I think you're seeing a weak leader with almost no control over his caucus and is reaping what he and his little buddy Scheer have sown in terms of the people that they've allowed into caucus...
...When you elect leaders who are completely and utterly unaccomplished prior to entering politics and who have entered politics in their 20s, you are going to be very vulnerable to running against somebody who has actually done something with their life. And why Scheer is still sitting in the caucus is the same reason why Poilievre will end up sitting in the caucus after he's done being leader, because he is unemployable in any other job...
