Heh, that’s good. The use of “the” before every noun is on point. Few favs:

“TACKLE THE SCHOOLS”
“DEFUND THE BORDERS”
“CHAMPION THE MULTIVERSE”
“CUT THE COSMOS”

Verb the Noun baby!

So, out of curiosity, I thought I’d check the current 338.ca projection for Jagmeet Singh’s riding.

And, uhhh, holy shit:

Alberta is in play!

oi

Let’s not get nuts.

Singh was expected to lose it to Conservative candidate back when PP was on his way to 200+ seats. Now the liberal is most assuredly going to slaughter them both.

They redrew boundaries on Singh’s previous riding, which is not helping him. And of course he also isn’t from and doesn’t actually live in the province, never mind the riding.

I know that a lot can happen, but I don't see how a pivot works for Pierre. There is good polling that shows 50% of his voters are pretty much Maple Maga. Any hard pivot here to be as forceful with Trump as Carney has been is going to likely do 2 things 1) Alienate some of his base that is very pro Trump leading to them leaking to PPC or staying home on election day 2) The other ~50% likely to vote for him will see his smarmy bullshit next to Carney's very measured, firm, and frankly Prime Ministerial sounding approach and leak to the Liberals.

Live view, from the future, of Pierre Poilievre holding his first CPC caucus meeting after the election if Carney’s Liberals win a majority:

He was born in Toronto, and had only ever lived there, as well as Newfoundland, Windsor, Michigan & Brampton.

Yet upon becoming NDP leader, he picks a riding clear on the other side of the continent in spite of having zero connection to the riding, province or even the West in general. Never understood that.

They were so fucking proud of him for looking like a smarmy douche too

 

[lecoqsportif]

Shut up.

But… I still think he might get a scare for his own seat.

Some palpable desperation from Poilievre’s “digital campaign manager”:

That's a weird way to say "Mark Carney thought Brexit was a dumb idea"

 

[lecoqsportif]

lol

So dumb. Like, painful.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Brexit was a dumber own goal than Dotard’s tariffs.

oh, I don't know if that's true.
