Michael Solberg on “PnP”saying Poilievre (and conservatives) “need to pivot quickly.” Really?

The moment to pivot has passed them and they’re looking at it in the rearview mirror. The wheels can’t get any traction & are spinning in the mud.

Pierre Poilievre’s “incredible shrinking caucus.” - Greg MacEachern

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Listening to a Pierre Poilievre clip on “PnP” not answering a reporter’s question about Scott Aitchison leaving the party (retiring) I was thinking about the Artful Dodger. Difference is, Poilievre is so bad at it. He blusters.

Interesting comparison made by @gregmaceachern.bsky.social
on “PnP”talking about the election of Premier Designate Paul St. Pierre-Plamondon in Québec with a minority - to Keir Starmer in the UK. They wanted change in the UK but it was not ultimately what they wanted.

Jody Thomas former Natl Sec. Adv. to Justin Trudeau on “PnP” an informative interview. David Cochrane making observations, comments & asking the questions most of us have about US interference in Alberta. I’m still left with the reality that there are more questions than answers.

More than ready for the long 🦃 weekend.

Wondering if my need to be politically well informed can be satisfied without my dander being ruffled & riled by news or views 🤷‍♀️

I do enjoy the Political Pulse Panel on Friday’s “Power & Politics”.

Challenge accepted. 🫣

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

The reporter roundtable is one of my favourite segments. Four journalists. With their well informed takes.

Another insightful interview to check out elsewhere if you missed it on “Power & Politics” this evening - Brian Kingston and Flavio Volpe discussing the automotive industry - tariffs, the trade talk stalemate, sharing their well informed views.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Minister Julie Dabrusin - saying “we’ve talked about this before” and then doing the PR dance about heat pumps and “the work we’re doing” rather than directly answering David Cochrane’s questions.
Night and day interviews - Dominic LeBlanc to Julie Dabrusin.

I’m having trouble listening to whatever Peter MacKay is saying while power panel opining on “PnP”.
I’m completely distracted & captivated by his surroundings.
I looked it up - it’s a “trendy, eclectic restaurant” in Halifax.

Outstanding, wide ranging, informative interview with Minister Dominic LeBlanc on “Power & Politics” this evening - covering elections, referenda, foreign election interference, trade & tariffs.
Respectful, calm, measured, unrushed responses.
Catch it elsewhere if you missed it.
#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Jordan Leichnitz on “Power & Politics” discussing US owners Cleveland-Cliffs & the job losses at Stelco had quite the accurate description saying “the CEO is running around with a lit match.” That’s ideal imagery.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Glad the Power Panel talked about Susan Collins being so proud of getting tariffs taken off road salt.
Tim Powers saying she might need some road salt to keep from sliding off the road in the mid terms isn’t far wrong.
Every night on “PnP” needs a few moments of levity in a world of chaos.
#pnpcbc

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview on “Power & Politics” with former PQ Leader Jean François Lisée.
Given my limited knowledge about Quebec politics it gave me some insight.
Could have listened longer. Alas time constraints.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Interesting - the Conservatives had their scrum before the vote on MAID - declined to have anyone be interviewed on “Power & Politics” saying their comments in the scrum would stand.
I always question why say no - Michael Cooper certainly isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts.
#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Still at it in Burlington so skipping out on “PnP” politics election/separatists chit chat tonight. A night off is a good thing.
Met this guy today. Sharp dresser. Literally.
Dinner out. Think I’ll skip the salad. 🫣

Very interesting, respectful interview with Scott Aitchison. His praise & kudos for Pierre Poilievre sound genuine. However, I wonder if some of that is because he would like to see his Parry Sound seat remain Conservative when there’s a byelection.
That said, wish him well.
#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Kate Harrison tries to equate a Liberal helping a candidate in another province, with foreign interference (AB separatists meeting with people from the U.S.). She’s so disingenuous. I’d rather not hear her opinions at all but at least David Cochrane steps in try & stop her “train”.
#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Interesting interview with Globe & Mail’s Carrie Tait explaining reporting about AB separatists meeting with American operatives from the state department - even some from Michigan going to Alberta.
There were times she was hesitant & I wonder what she was trying not to say.
#pnpcbc #abpoli

Yes. A lot of repetition. My guess (only a guess) is that they assume not everyone watches every day (hangs my head 🫣 for being such a regular - there every day 😉) so they cover the same territory for those who might have missed.
