Q in French on “efficiency” department where he mentioned “AI” as a tool to gain efficiency. “What programs are you going to cut?”

“This is not about cutting, but about using private industry to make things quickly and efficiently”

Finally, he is asked why he hasn’t spoken to Trump. He says there are “conditions”… he is willing to talk to him.

And that’s it. I’ll end this thread. Canada is in an election! And of the minimum allowed under legislation! 36 days! Here we go!!

He has emphasized a number of times
“The need to act dramatically and act quickly.”

He is talking a lot about using the private sector to leverage public money.

Public Private Partnerships - Here we come!

He just tied Smith and Poillievre and Trump together quite well. “Americanization”. In French he says Poillievre is “Canadian Trump”.

He having some trouble going back and forth in French comfortably. This could become an issue in riding-rich Québec.

It's official. The election will be April 28.
Carney (on CBC online now) says "Trump wants to own us".

His main message is "together" and "positive".

"Negativity won't make Canada Strong"

"I love Canada. Our country has given me everything. I want to give it all back to Canadians"

He mentions Nanaimo! (where some of his family lives)

He is very... staid, almost sombre?

He wants complete Free Trade between all provinces/territories before Canada Day. (July 1)

A reporter asks in French Poillievre directly why his policies are similar to Trumps, and that this is a concern for voters.

He claims he is the opposite of Trump because he will make Canada stronger…

In English he doesn’t address the actual question.

THIS QUESTION IS HIS KRYPTONITE.

He is Trump.

Final Q: Why don’t you get security clearance.

“I won’t go into a Liberal process to determine what I can say”.

Another Trumpian line….

Hi English remarks were quite a bit shorter.

First Q: to Poillievre.

“Do you respect Donald Trump?”

“I respect the office of the President.”
“We have to work in a spirit of respect with all leaders.”

Second Q:
“Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says your policies would be more in line with the USA is that accurate”

… Electing Liberals will weaken the country for Trump. That is why Trump says he prefers Liberals.

His primary slogan is now: “Put Canada First for a Change”

Which… is a much weaker slogan than the axe the tax stuff.

Continued thread

Poillievre speaks at a launch rally just before Carney shows up at the GGs. He has only spoken French so far.

He is Trump… let me count the ways:

1) “Put Canada First”
2) “Bring Jobs Back to Canada”
3) “Weakened our Borders”
4) “[Liberal] radical globalist policies”
5) “Honour our history”
6) “Start building rather than filling out forms”
7) “Expel criminals. Expose fraudsters. We will limit immigration.” (He says he is opposed to 100 million population target? A dog whistle to Great Replacement?)

He just finished his stump speech in French and now has switched to the same in English.

Watching CBC coverage of the start of the election campaign. Carney will be visiting the Governor General (again) in an hour or so, to ask her to dissolve Parliament and begin the campaign. The expectation is a minimum campaign time, 36 days, final voting day April 28.

All the hits from the various parts of the country are looking pretty chilly. Not spring in the east yet!

“HALIFAX — Nova Scotia has become the latest province to scrap electric vehicle rebates for Teslas due to the CEO’s association with the U.S. administration and its trade war on Canada.

The Progressive Conservative government joined with the NDP and Liberal opposition parties in a vote on Friday to drop the automaker from the rebate program, which provides subsidies that range from $2,000 to $3,000 per purchase.”

CTVNews · Nova Scotia legislators vote unanimously to scrap electric car rebates for TeslaNova Scotia has become the latest province to scrap electrical vehicle rebates for Teslas due to the CEO’s association with the U.S. administration and its trade war on Canada.

“The federal government on Friday launched a new ad campaign in the U.S. to remind Americans of the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods in the latest salvo in the deepening trade war.

The digital billboards read “Tariffs are a tax on hardworking Americans” and will be installed in Washington, D.C., and cities like Miami, Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta that Ottawa says would be “hardest hit” by the tariffs “due to their heavy reliance on trade with Canada.””
