        He already has, but he’ll be making more as long as he’s in the public eye.

        Eating an apple while asserting dominance during the CBC interview, bahaha. What a chud.

      Losing to a Liberal candidate is just part of the election cycle.

      Losing to a Green Party candidate, now that’s hilarious.

    I thought the other parties didn’t run candidates in pm ridings out of mutual respect

    Carleton deserves better! The voting’s never over until the last poll is closed. Never let online polling make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It always matters. Predictions can be wrong. It might come down to literally the last vote. You never know. And if you don’t vote, you never will know what could’ve been. Millions of people didn’t vote in previous elections, enough people to literally change almost every riding. Don’t be one of those millions, THAT’S actually throwing your vote away. VOTE! Always make sure your choice gets counted, even if it doesn’t win.

      Good message.

      In Alberta, we had one riding in the last election 8 votes apart. ~180 different votes in a handful of ridings would have changed the Premier.

      Even if you’re in a deeply red or blue riding, protesting your incumbent in safe areas is powerful messaging; if they can rest in the right colored jersey, that’s all they’ll do. When a 1:5 riding suddenly goes 2:3 or 1:2, they start at least trying to demonstrate what they’re doing for you (sometimes theatrics, but it’s a start).

      All that said, it’s still your vote - given the difference in how voters turn out, and abdication of your vote is generally a blue vote anyways, and that’s a choice too.

    The orange idiot down south just opened his sphincter-mouth again on the 51st state thing, which is good news. I’m amazed he was able to shut up about it for as long as he has, I guess we just came up again on the “Wheel of Chaos” topic selector now that he wants everyone to stop looking at his latest total failure in Ukraine.

      Maybe they think they have a better chance of convincing Alberta to separate.

      Fuck, it hurts just typing that. These arseholes are trying to break up our family.

    I hope this happens and sends a message to the Conservative Party.

    You can’t be with the maple MAGA and the “anti woke” crowd while appealing to Canadians or even socially minded conservatives.

    You can’t only criticize and attack, at some point you have to demonstrate you can lead.

    When it comes to the protection of Canada, you don’t ever wait for the polls to tell you what to say. You drop everything and defend our country. Every time. The conservatives used to stand for that.

    Lastly: every single conservative candidate has declined to comment on news or show up to any local event in this country. What does that tell us voters about how accountable you will be in office?

    Anyways, get fucked Pollievre, I hope he loses his seat and the party splits, Canada deserves better than the CPC.

      The conservatives used to stand for that.

      Or at least they claim to have.

      There are a lot of things the Conservatives claim to stand for, but the historical record often shows itherwise.
