Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

LoL "hard work". He doesn't even know what "hard work" is, that little bitch.
For those who don't know, he's never had a full time job outside of politics, he's as far as someone can be from an everyday normal guy. Born in 1979, he's got a BA in international relations and got elected at the age of 25 after 9 years of involvement in politics in one way or another. He's been undefeated in his riding every since.
That means that at the age of 25, PP was making 141k/year and started receiving a parliamentary role bonus in 2006 when he became parliamentary secretary of the president of the Treasury board and has received one at all times ever since.
This man pretends to talk for blue collars and the poor, he's worth multiple millions, doesn't live in his own house that's 25 minutes away from the parliament because he's allowed to live in the official residence of the leader of the opposition… That's 15 minutes closer…
This guy has been living off Canadians' taxes for half of his life.
And the thing is, I know his wife. She's actually really nice. She's had a really tough life early on and nearly became homeless in high school. She had to work so hard to get through. She was lucky enough to get a higher education have the opportunity work at the Parliament.
I really don't understand how she and him got together. I really didn't expect her values to match with his. It's incomprehensible.
Kinky power exchange shit, probably.
I can't even imagine what earning double a living wage would have done to my psyche in my twenties. I'm middle aged and just now finding stability - and let me tell you, it wasn't because I kept working hard. If I'd just kept working hard, I'd still be poor.
That’s the problem with the value of hard work - it’s hardly ever decided by the one working. People who are struggling or have struggled know that first hand. The value of hard work is the value of being held hostage.
At 25 he was making double the median FAMILY income at the time!

In the words of the next generation, 💀
Rick Mercer made a rant about how he has a parliamentary pension at 31 years old.
