Canadians hate Trump so much they vote out their own conservatives lol. Amazing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's funny because our conservative party is more left than your democrats

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think this used to be the case but there's been some really hateful rhetorics coming from the conservative side recently. Things like life in prison without parole for drug users. Yikes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Right, maybe this was true of the PCs before the merger with the Reform Party, but the creature resulting from that merger takes its cues from American conservatism.

I really hope he doesn't just lose but gets humiliated. such a disgusting little shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Don’t worry. If he loses his seat that would be icing on the cake. The cons cannot turn this around now. I will personally jump for joy if he loses his seat but even if he doesn’t, I will also LOVE seeing the knives out for PP by his own party when he loses.

PP is richer than Carney!! He’s a property owner with a net worth of 25 million AND he owns shares in Brookfield. PP is a steaming shitpile hypocrite maga.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

If little PP loses his seat I will laugh my ass off. Fuck him the disingenuous fuck. I watch news all day I get disgusted when he talks. I would love the opportunity to vote for PC (because having multiple viable parties is important in a healthy democracy) but that ain't happening with MAGA running under the hood and a leader who won't distance himself from them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Whether PP loses his seat or not it looks like the CPC will likely lose this election, some predictions are a crushing loss. I can only imagine the party convention to replace PP that will happen after that loss. In my opinion the ultra cons will dig in even deeper and elect someone more extreme but who hides it better. It's inevitable that the CPC (or some form thereof) will eventually get elected.

Yeah, he does give off small dick energy

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 days ago

Does this mean he'll win? Fuck polls. They are useless guessing games that try to account for "news" when there is nothing happening in the 24/7 news cycle. Don't get me wrong, I don't trust PP, but I don't trust polls as well.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly I think the Conservative Party should be dismantled - at this point their nothing but a waste of space. Their taking seats that could be taken by people who will do a much better job than any of the current conservative members. We need people who are passionate about Canada with who will work for the people. The conservatives are traitors

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The CPC was founded on betrayal. Peter MacKay(spit) ran an anti-merger campaign, and after lying to everyone, immediately merged to create the Conservative Reform Alliance Party, which they were too stupid to realize spelled CRAP so they changed the name to CPC.

Well. They told us up front what they are and Canadians still voted for them.

I hope so, because I hate that whiny piece of shit. All he does is whine.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

A guy on TikTok that said PP sounds like Skeletor, and I think he’s right. Also, Skeletor doesn't actually accomplish anything, blames everyone else for his failures and calls everyone names.

Best of Skeletor COMPILATION

Looks like his poo poo is getting pee pee'd

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

I don't hugely trust Ekos, but this would be hilarious if it happened.

Frankly I think we need to send a message to politicians that we need substance. We can't survive off attacks, or slogans, or vitriol, or attack dogs.

The reason Carney is doing so well is in part because he's giving something to vote for. Polievre only provides things to vote against.

Couldn’t have happened to a better person.

CANADA DOESNT NEED A SMALL pp

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

LOL. Looks like even the people of Carleton are put off by PP and his kowtowing to Trump and ultra-conservative faux populism.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm not a native anglophone even though I'm pretty fluent. But I don't know how to pronounce "kowtow".

Does it sound like "cow-cow" or more like "cow-toe"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm a native English speaker and I don't know either.

Both halves rhyme with cow. It's a Chinese (iirc?) word used in most of the east Asia to refer to deep bows or prostration used as a sign of deep respect (or more often a deep apology in a modern context) but in the west it has much more of an insulting use to imply someone is an ass-kisser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Thanks for the great explanation! 🩷

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Trust me, there are a LOT of pp diehards in the rural areas. But there is a lot of new construction happening in the riding that is changing the dynamic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Suburbs tend to be more conservative than cities. I suppose they can also be more progressive than rural ridings though?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Turns out that the intensification of the suburb sprawl for the Ottawa valley is going to come back to bite them in the ass.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Big if true.

Great but let’s not get complacent. The only Poll that matters is the election

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago

This is by far the most important thing to remember. Don't forget to vote. Hell, since you're reading this, you've probably already decided who you're voting for (Not PP, but for the only guy who stands a chance to beating him). Go vote early so you don't forget. Or register for mail-in votes.

And don't forget to encourage those you know to vote. Hell, go together to vote as a group. The more people vote, the more likely PP will lose, because almost all the seats he has a decent chance of winning come from the rural prairies, and they live so far apart, it's impossible for them to coordinate in person.
