Yeah people forget that he’s been shitty for a long time, and that he isn’t some outsider.
The problem was never his glasses.
I still say his hard-on for defunding the CBC goes all the way back to The Mercer Report.
I had people challenge me on that belief awhile back, saying that nobody could hold a grudge that long. And yet we find out today that one producer stopped Babylon 5 in its tracks for 20 fucking years. So yes, Internet, people in power can hold a grudge as long as they goddamn please.
Wait, I’m actually really curious about this Babylon 5 tidbit. Who was that? What happened?
Perhaps he should drop his racist “base”.
I mean, tbf, he’s pretty racist himself
Best I can do is contacts.
This seems like they are trying the political version of the trope where the “ugly duckling nerd” come back to school after summer with a new haircut and contacts and is suddenly “hot”.
Do they really think the people on this country are that stupid? Polliviere is still the same cretin he was before.
Remember when they had Stockwell Day arrive at a press conference in a seadoo?
These guys do everything under the sun other than try to meaningfully help people or be accepting of different cultures / ideas / sexuality … and instead try to pretend to be hip and new.
Whenever they try … they just come off looking like idiots.
It works though, albeit only on people that use their emotions for decision making.
I suspect a good portion of the people who would be fooled, are already PP supporters.
I suppose it might make a slight bump, and with FPTP, sometimes that’s all you need, but still seems like window-dressing, because it is.
Agreed, it sucks to sit here and see every party doing easy things that makes them look good rather than tackling the real problems under their jurisdictions. It extends far past the topics you mentioned, including inflation, housing prices, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.
I’m beginning to think that the Conservatives drank their own kool-aid and actually believe Trudeau only won due to his hair.
Do they really think the people on this country are that stupid?
Some of them are, at least in the critical thinking and self perception department.
They forgot the bit where the “ugly duckling nerd” is clearly a fucking smoke show and they had to work hard to make them seem ugly.
Woohoo! Hey can you get a new personality at the same time too?
And a new set of political beliefs.
They made him look too smart. The base hates smart, that’s elitist.
“If I don’t personally understand it, and it might change the way I do/view things, must be a conspiracy”
Wilful ignorance
Jesus H. Christ, may we someday be able to have an election based on policy and not the fashion choices of the candidates.

C’mon, it was his hair and we all know that.
Good luck. It’s yet to happen in a democracy anywhere.
(Mandatory mention that autocracies have different, even worse problems)
It won’t work, Milhouse.
Does he actually think this is going to fool anyone?
It worked for Superman.
Did it, though? Superman got away with it in part because Clark Kent didn’t really act like Superman (in all the iterations I’ve encountered, anyway, which I admit don’t include the original comics), so anyone who might be able to see past the glasses would give him a sidelong look and go, “. . . Nah.”
It’ll be a cold day in hell before Poilievre changes his attitude that much.
Fair point.
Honestly he looks better without glasses
honestly he looks like Milhouse with or without glasses.
I actually disagree - the glasses were kind of his thing…
