he is a weasel.... he gave his speech early to be able to make false claims of stopping the NDP from forming coalition with the Liberals (which they did not) and that he would stay as leader which is extremely unlikely without a seat... specially about all the badgering of Carney for being an "unelected PM"...
PP, you are worse than unelected, the people you have worked for for the last 20 years do not want anything to do with you
I was watching his speech live on CBC and the seat counts were on the bottom of the screen. I shit you not, maybe 10-30 seconds after he said this bit about denying the coalition, the seats flipped over so the coalition was possible. It went back quickly after and then back to coalition possible. I laughed very hard.
I can't find a video where the reported polls are included like on the live broadcast though. It makes me sad because it was priceless. I believe the seats were 164/165 Liberal and 7 NDP.
I hope you’re right about this, but hypocrisy has never stopped conservatives before
