I’m enjoying your work. Your work in election lead-up is really something!
I’m kind of in the Scott Reid camp of “the Liberals need to define Pierre Poilievre on their terms before he has too much more time”, though. I think you’re right that Canadians are smart enough to see PP for what he is - but I also believe that really good political communicators would hammer that home sooner rather than later, so that PP gets boxed into small communities with less chance to grow. Admittedly, I am also on the Scott Reid trains of “Pierre is a very talented communicator of whatever he says” + “Pierre will say and do whatever pissed-off people want, no matter how destructive, because winning is the thing” + “the cohort of really pissed-off people is way bigger than we like to admit”. So I’d rather be proactive with PP, instead of hoping he will self-immolate as people get to know him.
So why waste your time and mental energy writing this post? Why waste ours. Other than to tell everyone that JP just isn’t worth writing about and you said that in the first few paragraphs. I stopped reading after that.
Fuck Trudeau signs are deplorable, so is calling Pierre Poilievre “a fucking idiot.” I suggest Mr. Scrimshaw refer back to Hillary Clinton’s phrase “basket of deplorables” in 2016. How’d that go?
You are full of misquotes. All misinformation. So typical of Liberals. You know Pierre is the real thing, but it is difficult for to accept. So what do you do? Why the Liberal mode de operandi mislead and misinform.

St. Catharines with an a.
I'm still an undecided CPC leadership voter. But this made me LOL. Love the F-bombs. Good piece.
