Politics Got Me Acting Up: Dads, Polls, and Pierre Poilievre 👀

The Deets

Fam, politics is wildin' out here. First, this guy is pulling a whole switcheroo and backing his dad’s Liberal campaign after rocking with the Conservatives. He's saying he and his pops switched up 'cause the world's a mess rn - economy's unstable, global vibes are off, and no one trusts anyone anymore. His dad, George Vandenberg, is running in Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong.

He's all about leadership that actually thinks things through and finds real solutions. He is all about Mark Carney.

Meanwhile, over at NDP headquarters, it ain't looking too bussin'. Polls are saying they might get, like, totally wiped out. Jagmeet Singh is trying to switch up the convo. People are checking out his fits and his whole vibe, saying his dad influenced him and he wants to seem like he can handle business. They're tryna rebrand as the real progressive option, but the polls are not vibing. Everyone's suddenly obsessed with the Liberals and Conservatives, which is a major L for the NDP.

And then there's Pierre Poilievre. This dude's been plotting world domination since he was a kid, talking about low taxes and small government in essay contests. He's the Conservative leader now, and after the last PM dipped, things are getting spicy. He's known for his "straight talk," which some people are feeling, and others think is cringe. People are calling him a "soft" populist and he tryna stay away from getting Trumped. He's all about cracking down on crime and standing up for the anti-vax mandate protestors, but also claims he's chill with gay marriage and abortion. He's throwing shade at the Liberals, calling them "authoritarian socialists." It's a whole mess, ngl.
