“I …just don’t like him.”

Is, after MANY years of asking/probing, the ONLY honest answer I’ve ever gotten. …ever.

Had it a few times too. After reducing arguments down patiently.

Ultimately, these people who hate him vote like a high-school popularity contest, in stead of thinking with their lonely 2 remaining brain-cells.

Either that or they are simply insulted that someone could know more about something than their snapshot opinion. They take offense to realizing they are just ignorant. So they lash out.

That’s my assessment after looong, mostly civil conversations.

Do you think they resented the fact he is a thirst trap?

I don't like him because he self sabotaged electoral reform. Otherwise, he's done OK. A bit of scandal here and there, but nothing too controversial. He's no Lester B. Pearson, but he's better than asshats like Harris.

Housing... He fucked up housing (with help from outside forces of course). It's arguably why PP grew to fame at all. That dude latched onto the millennial and gen z anger over housing.

The nutters will blame his whole vaccine and lockdown handling of course. But they're just a lost cause to bot rot.

But he also came out saying that buying up housing and renting it back to Canadians is providing a service. That should have been enough to negate the housing hot air he was spouting.

Ask them why they support pp and they respond with verbing the noun.
