Opinion: 'Poilievre and Trudeau are playing the long game, with an eye to an election that could be years away,' writes ChantalHbert. 'The fireworks that did not materialize this week will inevitably come before then.'

MONTREAL—Everything old is new again: that’s one of the first take-aways from this week’s opening Trudeau-Poilievre question period engagement.

While Pierre Poilievre’s calls on Trudeau to renounce any forthcoming tax hikes extend to employment insurance and pension plan levies, it is the carbon tax that remains his main target. Indeed, it is not only to cast a more prime ministerial presence that the Conservative leader shed his attack dog persona for his introductory week as leader in the House. He does not have a juicy bone to cut his leader’s teeth on.

The economy is not this prime minister’s strongest suit. His branding is more grounded in issues such as Indigenous reconciliation, climate change and social policy. And that means a significant part of the essential burden of projecting fiscal competence must be borne by the finance minister — in the manner that Paul Martin complemented Jean Chrétien’s skill set.

ChantalHbert Harpo's attack dog (as he himself was) is still an attack dog. Justin just has to play it cool and let the dog fume on and on till he foams at his mouth. Then security will know what to do with him.

ChantalHbert Why are you promoting 'fireworks'? Did it ever occur to you that we don't want that? Makes me want to 🤮🤮🤮when I hear that.

ChantalHbert Pierre is nomatch to Justin

ChantalHbert I was under the impression that the next federal election is October 2023. Please correct me if I am wrong.

ChantalHbert No they won't. PP is a deeply unserious man with ideas that would bankrupt a nation. It shows.
