Why did a lid suddenly appear on this bin in the second frame?
Most likely AI.
They don’t use lids in Ontario.
poilievre is now a DEI hire exactly in the way the cons lie and misrepresent DEI hires
If I just voted for someone and then they quit to allow someone else to run and I needed to go vote AGAIN just for some power play I would be fucking pissed. Hopefully these voters are as well.
A chance to take another seat from them. Heck, if he loses there, too, he might even try again!

All the people that thought Poilievre would not continue as the opposition leader need a wake up call. You still don't understand what you're fighting against. Cult of personality is a major pillar of fascism, and loyalty (to the leader, not to the country) is the most valuable trait. Poilievre had a few humiliating defeats but he's still gaining grounds for the CPC, and the conservative wave is still on it sway, bolder and with lots of resentments piled up.
Take this seriously. The enemy doesn't have to be smart or competent, they just need to amass power. https://www.antihate.ca/40ways
I didn't expect him to voluntarily step down.
I expect the party to follow it's own damn rules and have the leadership review that their party rules requires after a losing election.
Of course, they could still do that after he inevitably wins in one of the safest seats in the country.
what personality does pp have? he has the charisma of roadkill
It doesn’t matter. If you look around, most authoritarian leaders have no more charisma than him. Personality just means a fabricated persona, marketing and propaganda.
hmmm I don't know about that, idiots think tRump is a business genius and do not seem to rally around any other bigot to the same extend
PP has a 3 line resume and no accomplishments to speak of. Marketing can do wonders but they'll have an uphill battle selling thin air
What kind of calculus do you think the liberal party has done just now…. Let loser Polievre come back to show himself to be more of an obstructionist loser that he continues to be??? He’s going to block Carney’s agenda again just like they did during the last house sitting. Also Scheer is an absolute thumb head. Polievre is a coward and a hypocrite.
What kind of calculus do you think the liberal party has done just now
Carney's response to the byelection question was basicailly "He can have his byelection if he wants. I'm too busy with more important things to waste time with silly partisan games"
Which makes sense. No need to hand the conservatives a "see the liberals are blocking democracy' talking point.
Except everyone knows the cons will obstruct everything and blockade the work of parliament and committee work - that is who they are. I am really curious to see how the liberals under Carney combat that sort of filibustering that cons did for the past few years.

They picked that riding for a reason. The Cons got 81.8% of the vote in the recent election in that riding.
I wish we had the requirement that you must LIVE in the riding you're running for and have lived there the past 2 years at least. Should also have to live there the entire time in office as well.
Hilarious that a bunch of Albertans that hate Ottawa politicians are about to vote in an Ottawa politician.
I'd love to see Albertans reject him as an "Ottawa elite parachute candidate".
They won't, of course, but a guy can dream...
Maybe shame the libertarians in that riding into presenting an independent candidate that would defeat Peter Rabbithair easily.
Perfectly on brand, tbh.
They love freedom, but not for trans or gays.
They love their country, but they hate paying the taxes to support it.
They love democracy, but they hate when anybody else wins.
They hate tyranny, but they love to back traitors.
Because they're not consistent. It's not about anyone being an Ottawa politician, it's just their tribalist victim complex.
Exactly, your MP is supposed to represent your local interest. If they don't live there why the fuck would they care about you and your interests?
The last thing I would change is you only get paid the median wage of the people who you represent.
Truly a person of the people
It would encourage you to do a better job and try and lift your community to greater heights
That's actually a decent idea. Imagine if Trump's income was capped at $66k/year, the US median income. He might actually give a shit about income inequality and raising the minimum wage.
Nah, he'd just ramp up the "side hustle" grifting even more.
I hope he loses
I mean the other guy won by like 80%. I doubt he's going to lose
They wanted the other guy. Voting 80% in favour for a guy only to have him tossed out by some rich prick might change some minds.
Maybe. But I bet they elect him. It's the safest seat in the country.
Conservative minds?
Sweet another chance to take that one from him too
Not in Alberta.
That guy resigning got 82% of the vote.
I know you’re right, but think how funny it would be…
Holy shit do they not want him to lose again.
"The Conservatives handily won that riding on Monday with nearly 82 per cent of the vote."
They picked one of the safest ridings in the country so that there's no chance of that happening.
I assume he's being paid off by the Conservative party somehow. Otherwise he just spent a lot of time and money to get re-elected and is now unemployed.
Not one of the safest. The safest. Not giving off confident energy.
Voters rejected PP.
It seems like this other Conservative isn't confident in their own ability to act as an MP. And it doesn't look good to give your seat up to a loser.
It also shows to the people in the riding that they don't matter ... the position is just to get a politician into power not to represent actual people.
They would care if they could read. The people of the riding that is.

Fuck off. How the fuck is this kind of bullshit allowed? He lost! He shouldn’t get to swap out with someone. Wtf
This is the system of governance you are under. I agree with you that parachuting shouldn't be allowed, but here we are.
This is how the government of Canada operates. It shouldn't come as a surprise.

Something something safe space, something something inclusion, something something participation trophy.
So the unemployed loser went to daddy for a handout. I want to know how much he paid the other guy for switching places.
