    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.

        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.

        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.
