Those have gotten closer, but... I think it's one of the biggest reversals, or if not the biggest reversal in Canadian political history. which was the dominating lead they had from having an almost an assured majority to now perhaps losing to a liberal majority, which again is unheard of. Yeah.
One thing that people are also kind of missing is that he also really closely started associating himself with Elon Musk prior to Elon Musk kind of being the de facto leader of, you know, the U S or whatever you want to call him, the, the real president of the United States. But he is, At a number of rallies and on the record praising Elon Musk prior to Elon Musk.
This was pre-Elon Musk overt Nazi era, kind of more just like Nazi light era.
But around that time, Pierre was asked, like, what do you think about being endorsed and praised by Elon Musk? And, you know, he started making jokes about how... His kids want to go to Mars, so that's pretty cute. And started talking about how he wants Elon Musk to build more factories and plants in Canada.
Well, that's all really coming back to hurt him now because the very idea of there being a stronger Tesla presence in the country is decidedly rejected by the populace. Like, you know, the protests that are going on in the United States against Tesla's are going on here as well. Maybe not as large scale or perhaps as fire based, but a lot of them are occurring here.
And so like that, I think, is also really hurting them. So there's been this really funny, strange political dance that's kind of happened in the last couple of months where everyone is trying to say Trump loves you more. It's like a circular firing squad. Like at one point, the conservatives were trying to market themselves as saying Trump was making fun of Pierre in this clip.
So look, he hates Pierre more. Yeah. And then it was like, oh, no, no, no. Look, he's talking a lot of smack about Mark Carney. He hates Mark Carney more. So that that has actually become a very strong dynamic of the Canadian election is who exactly does Trump like more? And that's not going to be good for you if it turns out you're the one.
Yeah, I mean, that's a good way of putting it. Yeah, you're totally right. I mean, we're talking about a lifelong banker. I mean, he's even worked for Goldman Sachs. The solution going forward, especially in the face of actual manifesting fascism, is more neoliberal policies, austerity and measures.
Then you might be very, very excited to perhaps get your own, like, honestly, Joe Biden style election here, where we are once again going to be choosing center to center right economic policies that are going to undoubtedly exacerbate wealth inequality more. They are not going to solve the housing crisis.
The housing crisis of Canada, while it is portrayed constantly as complex, really goes down to fundamentally there are a lot of houses, but there are also a lot of houses being built in luxury markets that most people can't afford. Speculation is not addressed.
And so speculation usually gets blamed on foreign investors, which in turn kind of brings up the whole immigration fears, which are very successful. But With Carney, I mean, I don't see anything dramatic. Not only did he ax the carbon tax when he was in power initially, and that was, again, I think strategically to remove the power the conservatives had on that policy.
He also is getting rid of the capital gains tax, which, again, is just going to be funneling more money towards the ultra wealthy economy. So the problem for me is that if anything, I'm happy that Pierre, it looks like he might not win. I don't know what by the time people are listening to this, what the results are. But I also recognize that this does not solve these crises.
We're simply putting band-aids on a pause before, you know, finally a Trump of our own gets elected. And then, yes, people after the fact start realizing, oh, my God, he's doing a lot of the horrifying things that he promised he would do. He's actually trying to enact Project 2025. All these terrible things are happening. Yeah.
Well, I mean, if this was an election where it looked like Pierre was going to win, I would say he is going to follow through on all the aggressive measures and more that he's promising right now, which include, you know, suspending the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to people that he deems should be worthy of receiving freedoms, specifically because like Donald Trump, he wants to begin silencing people for their speech in relation to protesting against Israel and their genocide of Palestinians, especially if you are an immigrant or someone on a student visa.
And these policies, you can see they're a disaster absolutely. After the fact, and people, I think, wake up to them like Americans are right now when they realize Trump's actually doing it. But, you know, make make no mistake.
It doesn't doesn't require, you know, too long of the increase in wealth inequality for people to look for an answer because they're not being listened to by the libs or the liberals here.
And they've gotten a lot accomplished. To be fair to Jagmeet Singh and, you know, for American listeners, the Social Democratic Party of Canada, they accomplished some great things working in a minority government setting, including a pharmacare program, including a vaccine.
A federal feeding program for children, a school lunch program, you know, working on paid family sick leave and extending it. So they've done a lot of good in sort of enacting progressive policies.
But it's the Liberals who are also equally as good at taking credit for all the things that people have come to really like, such as having dental care for the first time and having cheaper pharma care and stuff like that.
