Pierre Poilievre meets his fans out east in their protest encampment. "What's a soy boy" 1/
Protestors regale the opposition leader with tales from their protest site. An old man comes and sets up flags every day, while his wife is doing chemo. 2/
After asking the residents of the encampment where they are from, Pierre is quickly distracted by the pretty sunset. When asked if he had any questions for the people "on the ground", he quickly shook his head. 3/
“Do you have any questions for us, we’ve been on the ground for 23 days now?” Pierre: *Shakes head* “No, no…you know I will axe the tax though…(softly) I will axe the tax.” 3.5/
They're just shit talking...literally. 4/
"Everything he says is bullshit, everything top to bottom" - the leader of the opposition, when talking about the Prime Minister. 5/
Pierre tours a trailer. "I sleep right here, in my car" exclaims one member of the encampment. 6/
And then the leader of the opposition gets an explainer on how to sleep in a sedan!
Time for a quick photoshoot! "And when I axe the tax then you guys are all gunna be able to go home" 8/
"A good ol' fashioned Canadian Tax Revolt" says Pierre. He flashes a peace sign and heads back to his car.
@ArfinNathaniel Good God. He is not a leader. All he ever says is "I'm going to axe the tax" he could care less about those people. He's barely engaged with them. What a loser.
@ArfinNathaniel @csordoni What the hell is a good ol’ fashioned tax revolt?? These people are driving and idling to protest a 17% tax that was created by the same party they are in support of??!! You can’t make this up
@ArfinNathaniel How many “good ol fashioned tax revolts” has Canada had? Pierre, they also plan to not file or pay income tax, you good with that too? If he misses the next HOC Q Period, I suggest checking to see if he’s sitting in a camp chair, in front of Parliament, with “the regulars”.
@ArfinNathaniel Refusing to pay taxes is a crime. Encouraging others to the same could be considered inciting an insurrection. Seems like the leader of the opposition is t so loyal after all. Shocking
@ArfinNathaniel He needs another drink after all that I bet.
@ArfinNathaniel He looks hammered. Did NO ONE on his team say "we shouldn't stop, this won't look good"?
