Roddy is the Canadian Bouzy fwiw

I will stay up to hear the screeching from the prairies though

I still fear a victory lap through the prairies.

Yeah. Things are still a little fluid.

There’s some trolling going on here. And maybe something else. Boundaries have been redrawn. Pepe might get a challenge.

Not 100% certain but I thought PP’s riding became more rural after the last boundary change (2022?)

Another former mayor running for liberals in Alberta. Something is in the air out here telling these ppl they have a chance. This is lethbridge which has always been conservative federally but provincial has had NDP. Liberals only had 15 percent let federal election

From looking through his electoral record, it looks like the last major boundary change for PP's riding took effect for the 2015 election. And his margins of victory have decreased since the change.

Still though, we're talking about going from him getting around 55% of the vote beforehand, to 46-49% of the vote since the change. And he managed to get 49.9% of the vote in the last election in spite of the fact the People's Party pulled in 2.4% of the vote in his riding.

One thought is what is the point even of negotiating when we know Dotard will just break every rule whenever he feels like it?

I guess show up and be as polite as possible and pretend to be interested for the sake of the market. But I’m not signing anything with the US until there’s a new administration, and they’ve proven then can be trusted.

He’s been very consistent on this since winning the Liberal leadership.

And as of today, he still hasn’t so much as spoken to Trump on the phone since becoming PM.

Love the strategy and hope he sticks with it.

Yeah, I mean at some point he'll have to talk to Trump, but definitely it's another way to basically have a "show us respect" and implying that PP would go in groveling.

Has anybody in the history of politics done as poor a job of meeting the moment as jagmeet? Jeeze what a dud.

Actually @CH1 he’s my third best call. I met him a few years ago and couldn’t believe how unimpressive he was. He was with Olivia who was owning the room while he slunk by meekly behind her.

I can't wait to see Poilievre's funny back and forth with Jordan Peterson.

 

[Preston]

I will choose to not comment on the elbows up and Mike Myers thing. Just win is my mandate.

Ya. I'm not sure about celebrity endorsements when your opponent has scored points for standing up to out of touch elites who want to tell us how to live our lives.

As a one off, it was good, but I wouldn't lean into it for too long.

I liked the other one better as it seemed to take a shot at the PP argument of carney not being a real Canadian.
