After all, PP might actually get fired as the Cons leader for not doing his job. (Though honestly, I'm rooting for the party to break up. A far right party and extreme right party splitting the votes will only show just how terrible each side is, and with a split, the animosity between them means that neither will gain traction for decades, and hopefully make Canadians realize just how terrible the parties they've been voting for really are)

Sounds like your voting system is fucked up.

Saw Protest the Hero open for BTBAM last night and the lead singer was pretty stoked about PP losing his job and house.

It was fun watching someone be happy about an election … 🫠

Good. What a fucking piece of shit.

I keep seeing this, but does anybody have the link? I don't get why the 2nd tweet looks doctored.

In the real world, if you don't do your job you lose it.

In Trudeau's world, you get a big fat ArriveScam bonus.

In the real world, people who don’t do their jobs get fired.

In Trudeau’s world, they get bonuses.

Thanks! So they are slightly skewed, but it still works lol. I ditched my twitter account ages ago and was having trouble getting to the sources.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The second one I think looks that way because they searched for the specific phrasing from the one tweet but enough of the same words were used in the second tweet, he had just reworded it slightly. Thats why some of it is bold and some of it isn’t.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Makes sense, thanks!

I’m looking forward to Singh’s next shots fired at PP. preferably asking him when he’s stepping down as the party leader such as any respectable person should do if they lose in their own riding.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Singh stepped down, he's gone.

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think that is the point being made

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

OK, now I see it. That might have been a bit subtle for me after work.

[–] LiveLoveLaff@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

So WHY does he still get paid our tax dollars to do nothing

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a great question and the answer is: he shouldn't be drawing on tax funds. He cannot hold the position of leader of the opposition unless he has a seat, and I can't find any provision for unelected party members in here.

An MP in a conservative stronghold has to resign and then he can run there in a byelection to get back into the House of Commons. The timing of the byelection is determined by Prime Minister Carney though, so he could very well be put until 2026.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yes, quite right - but until such time as this takes place, Polivere shouldn't be paid with taxpayer funds. Maybe there's a provision in some rule that allows party funds to be used? {/Speculation}

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be so funny, and imagine if he lost it again?

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

That would be hilarious but they're going to make sure it's a conservative stronghold. Sucks for whichever MP gets booted on his behalf but that's what you get for having a leader like PP.
