The problem facing the Conservatives is as obvious as it is intractable — unless real change is made. The form of neoconservativism ushered in by Stephen Harper has morphed into angry authoritarianism under Pierre Poilievre. It will not sell in Canada and the electoral record proves it.
What has he needed to deflect about?
Brookfield link to deforestation and human rights abuses in Brazil when he was Vice Chair and Head of Transition Investing at Brookfield Asset Management .
He attempted to deflect about rhe term genocide but Singh was able to pressure him to say he don’t believe there is a genocide
I think he’s right to deflect on Brookfield though. Governance of asset management is very complicated, so it’s very easy to misrepresent an honest answer to an objective question. If the question is not relevant and has high potential of being used for misinformation, I think it’s best to deflect. The only other option is to openly say “I could objectively answer this question with a 2 hour long explanation that you’re probably not educated enough to understand” and that’s not going to fly well either.
Deflection is never good, it make a lot of people losing trust
I don’t disagree that it makes people lose trust, I’m just saying that a practicable straight answer would also make people lose trust
I think people forgive honest people wrong doing
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
