For each part “Pierre is weird”, there should be three parts “Get shit done”. Because that is the other part that Liberals can borrow from the Democrates in the US. Each time the Liberals point out the old wood fetish of Pierre, the Liberals should also bring up how many seniors are now receiving dental care, how much parents are saving on childcare and how many affordable housing units will be built using federal support in the coming years.

Having said that, there are other issues for the Liberals to focus as well. There is something extremely fishy with these bots on Twitter claiming to have visited a Pierre rally in Northern Ontario. Either the CPC is paying for this, which is not a good look. Or some other entity, possibly foreign, is paying for it, which is even a worse look or even illegal. If I would be advising the Liberals, I would make sure that this does not get ignored.

I'm one who doesn't hate Trudeau. He may not be the most likeable guy, but how could I not want to vote for the government that:

- came roaring out of the pandemic with an economy so hot, interest rates had to rise to compensate. Without the government intervention giving money to low and middle income families affected, we would have been in a severe recession if not depression

- created a new tax bracket especially for the 1% to pay for increased benefits to low income earners and seniors

- increased the Canada Child Benefits that reduced child poverty by 40% and lived the families of 300,000 children out of poverty

- enhanced the Canada Pension Plan to compensate for less working age people in the future

- underscored a woman's right to choose

- created legislation to protect LGBT people from predatory conversion therapy practices

- brought in medically assisted dying that was 20 years overdue

-legalized cannabis

-tighten gun control legislation

-introduced carbon pricing in line with the rest of the world that added more money to working people's pockets

-did the work to lift 145 drinking water advisories leaving only 31 still in progress

Show me anything more impressive than that in Poilievre's policies.
