Alberta MP will resign his seat for Poilievre to run in a byelection
- Thread starter rafterman
- Start date
Lots of farm country, without which, you wouldn't have the food you like and want. I know people there, and they are good people, but right, you should dump on everyone that doesn't live in a urban center. Why are you being so critical of rural areas?
Can't expect a leftist to apply common sense, never have, never will.
Would you want to live there? There's literally nothing. Also, the word is "centre" in Canada, which makes me wonder if you're a Yank.
Like I said, good thing someone is willing to do so, or you wouldn't eat well. And you wonder why the rural people strongly vote conservative, since they hear shit like these from too many uppy urban dwellers, who vote Liberals into power. Don't forget, the cities have to put up with the homeless shooting up and shitting on their sidewalks. Much better in the city.
Can you imagine if a political party barred one of their MPs from running for PM even after they held their riding for a decade, and then slipped in another person running for PM into their riding with little or no explanation?
Imagine if that person they barred and removed was a visible minority as well.
Wouldn't that seem strange to you?
Wouldn't you immediately condemn the Conservatives for doing that and cry foul?
Oh wait...
Nepean MP Chandra Arya has been barred from running for re-election in the riding he's represented for nearly a decade.

A party leader losing their seat is fairly common. It has happened 23 times in 45 elections.
Poilievre will be back in the House of Commons soon enough and reminding Carney about his daily failure in making things better for Canadians while not being able to stand up to Trump as he fooled people into thinking he would.
Pierre will be out before the leadership review per folks who know these things (I am definitely not a Tory insider).
The job is Doug Ford's if he wants it, which he does not until he sees how Carney performs for the first little while.
An interim leader has been decided on with no chance of winning when Ford or another total outsider to the Federal Conservatives comes in.
The feeling among those that matter in the Conservative woeld is that Ford would have destroyed Carney in an election and only Pierre and his ex girlfriend slash campaign manager fucked it up.
I tend to agree, but given the choice between Carney and Poilievre, the country did what it had to do after years of drift under the previous Liberal group.
By the way, when Trudeau was on the verge of losing literally every seat the Liberals had, late last year, the same guys predicted Carney would win the leadership easily (he did) and beat Poilievre for a near majority. (that happened also)
Since I never would have believed the 2nd prediction at the time it was made, I tend to believe the same guys this time around.
So there you go, let's see if these guys are wrong .... only caveat is if Carney does prove to be effective at governing (nobody knows for sure) Doug sits it out and suddenly Poilievre or his successor takes a beating at the next election.
Again, nobody really knows in this strange environment how effective Carney can be given the instability south of us, but that is the thinking on Poilievre and his future as leader.
As MP he will never leave the man has no other life skills.
It's the same Liberal group. Under the same person who advised them.
Carney was elected purely because people believed that he could "stand up to Trump" even though he hasn't really said how he plans on doing that.
Trump will use him as his gimp and in about 2 years, after people see that they were sold another Liberal myth, the Conservatives will come to power with a majority and initiate real change. It's worth the wait.
No ... it's not the same advisory group at all. They are all being fired.
Carney needed people to tell him how to talk to voters in Canada and now that the election is done, the Poli sci wannabes are not driving the bus because Carney actually understands the world.
Whether he succeeds or not ... who knows ... but the three word simpletons on the other side lost the most winnable election in history and will pay the price.
He should not have to move out, but he should compensate Canada by paying rent while he is not sitting. I would say about 25K/month.
you do not have a clue
it was the same folks who were Trudeaus puppet masters, Gerald Butts and Katie Telford who have paved the way for Carney to become the liberal leader
it is the same corrupt set of liberal MPs who are now embolden to be even more corrupt
Lets see how Carney handles his first corruption scandal
John, without getting into specifics, I do have a clue about the Liberal party lol.
MPs are MPs of course, in a snap election they won't change much.
But the key advisors with power are not.
yikes we have a lifer
as i said
it is the same corrupt set of liberal MPs who are now embolden to be even more corrupt
we now have the key advisor with the top job
Carney was Trudeaus economic advisor since 2020
So more excessive govt spending, money printing, debt and inflation is in store for Canada
are you going to pretend Gerald Butts and Katie Telford disastrous policy direction is going to be reversed by Mark Carney?
I do not think so, they paved the way for Carney to become the liberal leader
this is just a rebranding of a decade of failure
how completely illogical and petty of you
81.8%, 75% or even 60% it will not matter, Pierre P will get elected and become sitting member of parliament
therefore it is irrelevant
