Archive link to Breitbart article: https://archive.is/UQuX1

Recording link of the quote there's also a link in the article but it goes to Breitbart Soundcloud account :

“Before the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Poilievre is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it’s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,” Smith responded. “And so that’s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause is what I’ve told administration officials. Let’s just put things on pause so we can get through an election.”

Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,

If the NDP plays this right and doesn’t get too vocal too soon, they might have a shot at disturbing enough shit when the time is right. My god I hope they can get properly organized and do this right.

No one is voting NDP unless they want the Libs to have a weak government. We need to present a unified front right now. I don't like majority governments for Canada, but now is not the time to split the vote and present a weak mandate to Murcan elites.

I'm hoping for a Liberal majority this time around so we can more quickly respond to the shitshow down south.

I apologize. I wasn’t clear with my post.

I’m talking about the provincial NDP in regards to their strategy for our provincial election to get this flaming cunt out of office.

Federally, which I rarely ever vote in cause ‘Berta, I’ll be holding my nose and voting Liberal.

Thanks for clarifying, and yea, we could do with more NDP seats. I wish we had proportional representation so everyone got a fair shake.

We do need to make it a priority to get rid of Smith first. Provincially, I also vote NDP and we need to bring em back for more than just one term. They were great for Alberta!
