      Some of his ideas, like defunding CBC, are foolish.

      I don’t think Pierre Poilievre is a Nazi. Statements like that are unhelpful.

        He likes to dine with Nazis, and we all know the old adage about Nazis at a dinner table.

        People said the same thing about MAGA/Trump.

        Conservatives are holding the door open for fascism, and if you can’t close it, it will come in.

        PP is a populist conservative politician so he’s not actively fascist, but do you know what happens when your society has a fascism-shaped hole? Politicians like PP expand to fill that hole.

          I wish people would stop calling him a populist. Doug Ford is a populist. PP is pretending to be a populist and is, at best an ideological populist but populists pivot. He doesn’t. We should be referring to him as an Opportunist because it all looks like an act to me.

    If it was the other way around he’d never let Carney hear the end of it - “Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat”.

    Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.

      He already didn’t let Carney hear the end of it - “Carney, who was not elected…”

      He’ll win, the only reason he’s coming to Alberta is because it’s a slam dunk.

      82% in favour of conservatives during the last election but Carney can wait 6 months to launch the by-election, that might be long enough to piss off some conservatives that might want to get rid of PP.

      To form an alliance you mean? The Bloc Quebecois already said they’ll be quiet for the next year as there’s lots to do, having two parties to work with means you don’t necessarily need to always bend the same way so it’s advantageous to leave the door open to sometimes compromise left and sometimes compromise in favour of what Quebec wants…

      Political parties should just standby the morals and principles they try to uphold.

      If they align together, great they can both vote yes. If they don’t then they don’t. Pandering to other parties to get their vote just gets in the way of what you are actually trying to achieve.

      That’s my take anyways

    I for one didn’t expect someone to resign this quickly.

    PP has Mr. Kurek to thank. Some of you will understand this statement differently than others. 😂
