He's gaslighting canadians. Laaaaaaaame
- Lets hope the cons lose the next election and they run him off like every leader they have when they don't get in.
  
  Is it too much to hope for that they also realize that going ever harder might be the wrong approach?
Can we give him a one way ticket to Florida?
Squinty McProudBoy should move to texas and take his racist, white supremacist, misogynist, fascist base with him.
Fuck what a trump level shit stain.
Poilievre tries to cancel Christmas
Can't the Speaker shut that shit down? Especially since he's admitted exactly what he plans to do?
- Based solely on the merit of the amendments they've proposed, such as changing titles or a single word, they should face some sort of punishment for wasting precious time. It's clearly meant to do nothing but waste time and guess who pays for it?
  
  Speaker does that and next time it'll be amendments created by ChatGPT. Long ones. It's hard to have a process that cannot be weaponized or deadlocked without removing the process entirely. Or, well, relying on people being good actors.
That's all we get from our politicians. Nothing substantial. Just gimmicks like this.
- Is he your politician? Sorry. You need to vote better.
  
  Who is better? The NDP and Liberal parties are only barely less worse.
Wow. That could make him go down in the polls. Not a great move.
- It won't. He has a bedrock of support thanks to basic political tribalism, and he and his handlers probably calculate that they run a greater risk of alienating their base if they run moderate, than running moderate and raising their ceiling. And given how badly the opposite strategy has worked for the NDP (which is alienating it's base to chase the middle) he's not wrong.
  
  tl;dr: if he keeps acting like a protofascist, he'll keep his job, and he might even win if enough people feel Trudeau has worn out his welcome.

  I don't think that's possible. Who else will Conservatives vote for? The CPC could act like LPC/NDP and they'd still get their core voters to vote them in because as long as they aren't 'red' or 'orange'.. they're 'good'.
