New Canadian Politics Thread

I mean, if you look at this from a Conservative perspective---on the one hand, you have the guy that Stephen Harper appointed to lead the Bank of Canada, and then personally credited with playing a large role in helping Canada weather the effects '08 crash better than most countries.

On the other hand, you have a guy who's never worked outside of politics in his whole life. And in his nine years as an MP in Stephen Harper's government, was trusted to do little else than to be the party's annoying, yappy little attack dog in Parliament. But no significant cabinet appointments, no real responsibility and in his entire time in Government, he only personally advanced one bill, which didn't pass.

There's just no way to look at PP as the better candidate unless you're fully enmeshed in all the culture war BS. That's all he brings.

Be interesting in a debate if our PM would ask PP to name one thing he’s accomplished in his political career that had a positive influence to a single voter in the upcoming election.

Can someone explain why peepee is refusing to get security clearance? He’s saying it’s because he wouldn’t be able to do anything the information - which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Would he be subject to a background check as a candidate / MP that he wouldn’t be subject to as PM?

If he won as PM with a CPC majority and his criminal background check comes back exactly as bad as we're expecting it to, what happens? Can he even be removed without a non confidence vote?

Extremely doubtful.

It's a very conservative riding that Poilievre typically wins with more than 50% of the vote, or close to it.

That's the entire game with these hack kids they pull off of their assembly line. Air drop them into the safest seats the CPC has available so that they can be grievance farming douchecunts without fear of losing their job. The only reason Alberta politics isn't self sequestered into support for a local grievance party like Quebec politics is that we share a language.
 
7 projected seats for the NDP. Quite the fall.

I’m expecting it to be closer.

Also surprised that Carney chose Nepean instead of Edmonton Centre. Nepean borders PP’s riding though, which is kind of funny.
