Interesting takes on CBC, but reality is that Polievre is shit. He lost this election because he is terrible, stupid, lazy and inept. He wasn’t ready for an election, he didn’t do his homework, he ran scared of the media, he is stupid (demonstrated by his understanding of electricity and bread). That he believed he could treat Canadians with such disdain and disrespect. He deserves the rest of his life as an insult stuck to the sole of my shoe.
And now he needs to get his resume ready for the first time ever.
Crap like him always have some cushy job lined up for them. Like Jason Kenney and Atco.
Saw that asshole political commentating on CBC last night. Can't we be rid of him. I thought Alberta put him in a hole.
I hate his fucking guts to the core, and nothing I'm about to say should be viewed as forgiveness, but he does seem to genuinely be a useful shortsighted idiot with a side of abhramic god bigotry mixed in for good measure. Instead of being in on it as a member of Maple MAGA like I used to think.
He's been consistent denouncing them...even late into his leadership while still in power he was. It's why he rage quit after winning 51% leading to Smith...
The predictable to everyone but him outcome of Wildrose eating the "united" Progress Conservatives alive from within, seems to be the true story.
I just see Houston ramping up Kenney style politics again federally and see this election as a minor setback the the creeping and direct fascism our population lives with. Maybe I'm being cynical.
In the great words of Total Bastard Airlines, "Bu-Bye!"
And in the great words of a Canadian celebrity that I won't name, who asked me over coffee looking for his first job, "What's a resume". As in let's resume looking for a job.
It was Buddy Cole.
He grew up at the knee of Harper. He's only doing what he was taught.
Generously, Trump put him in a bind. On the one hand around a third of his supporters would be down with being the 51st state, or are at least fans of what Trump is doing. If he came out too hard against Trump, he could have bled support to the PPC,
Ironically, electoral reform would save the Conservative Party. It would probably split back into a more PC style centre-right party and a more populist Reform style party. I think an old Joe Clark style PC leader could have done better, but with ⅓ of the modern CPC Qonvoy supporting Trumpians, I don't know that they could elect one. If they did, it would be Erin O'Toole all over again.
I mean, he's very, very good at the firehose-of-soundbites style of campaigning. The dude has literally gotten elected for every year of his working life on it.
His concession had a lot of poise and savvy. He'll never win me over but I was impressed with his cooperative tone. But I know he hasn't changed, and I know it is not in his nature to cooperate.
