31% of Canadians agree that Poilievre would be most likely to β€œroll over and accept whatever President Trump demands,” followed by Justin Trudeau (22%) and Jagmeet Singh (9%). Just 6% of Canadians say they same about Liberal frontrunner Mark Carney.

This is a major reason I bet that Carney will wipe the floor with him in a general election.

Trudeau hasn't rolled over any of Trump's shit so far...

Don't forget Freeland at 4%.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, but she polls more than 15% behind Carney among the general public in the leadership race. It's why I didn't mention her.

E: As for federal election polling, here's the last Mainstreet numbers from two weeks ago:

Will post again when new numbers drop.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

On what? Last I checked her favourability was close to neutral, and the boost from nominating Carney vs. her was more like 5%.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

The leadership race, numbers in Wikipedia from Leger and Mainstreet. Check my edit for general election numbers.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Am I blind, or does that show 5%? From 34% to 39%.

15% would change my perception of the whole race significantly.

Edit: Maybe you mean the numbers from the question (when asked by Mainstreet) "If you could vote in the Liberal leadership race who would you vote for?", which are in the table at the bottom of the wiki. The gap there is actually in the 20's as of a couple weeks ago, which is interesting.

Remember what Iceland did when their politicians sold their country to corrupt business men

They arrested the Prime Minister, the activists took control of the government, they declared the debt acrrued by the criminal government to be illegitimate, and they convicted the bankers of fraud.

That will NEVER happen in Canada. There is too much of the american delusion in Canadians that they are all temporarily poor millionaires.

If we start throwing rich people in jail maybe I'll be next!

And yet no one seems to care that being poor is punishable by law even though most of us are a few paychecks away from being homeless.

[–] jagged_circle 3 points 3 hours ago

Crininals. Throw criminals in jail.

Iceland didn't throw them in jail because they were rich. They threw them in jail because they were criminals.

He began his leadership by supporting the truckers. That says it all right there.

Radical idea: maybe don’t vote for the guy most likely to sell Canada out to turd?

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Too extreme. Wins all of Alberta, Saskatchewan and rural BC/MB/ON.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

There is one riding in Saskatchewan that flips back and forth from blue to orange. I doubt it will be orange this next election but a girl can hope.

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

We can hope

His silence on the shitshow happening downstairs speaks volumes. The only time he shuts up is when it's time to speak out against fascism

[–] Aconite@lemmy.ca 14 points 22 hours ago

Beating β€œnone of them” by a healthy margin is quite the feat.

Canada doesn't need a small pp

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

No smΓΆl pp needed here!

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We need a strong leader that can pull together other people to help navigate the American fascists, not a career politician who’s only claim to fame is being a career politician and trying to sell out Canada.

whose?

What?!? For the 4th year running? Who was it before? O'toole?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago

Man that guy was so normal compared to this Pierre subhuman

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago

ha ha ha I totally forgot O'toole even existed. And in my head, in place of his face, I can only picture the road salesman from The Office (US).
