“Poilievre won’t commit to NATO 2% target”
Uh huh, sure. Party of the military, except when it comes to paying for stuff. Maybe if we conscripted rich people then conservatives would be more amendable to giving them handouts?
I’m sure that being the party of choice in Canada for Putin supporters has nothing to do with it, either.
The one thing I was hoping from a Poilievre PM is that I assumed he would at the very least match the 2% NATO requirement, that was the only thing going for him
A lot of conservative supporters–especially the hard-core ones–have been influenced by Russian social media operations in the wake of Ukraine. The result is that internal party polling looks poor on things like “support for NATO”.
The conservatives today aren’t the conservatives of the 1950s and 60s. They’re more like those of the 1920s and 30s: useful idiots at best, complicit at worst.

He’s referring to the appointment of a woman to lead the army. It’s too “woke”. The complaints by women soldiers and officers against sexual harassment is too “woke”.
That’s the cool thing about complaining about “the woke”, the people who use that word as an insult are never able to define what the word actually means.
