Oh do you guys also have that thing where like 90% of your government only shows up to work a few days out of the year but collect paychecks for all 365 days?

Any chance he might self-reflect on this? I doubt it.

Do they even have a viable leader to replace little pp? Not that he was much of a leader, but not exactly a party with any members that stand out as leadership material.

Eh, the world has a way of producing people like that when there's a niche for them (read: ignorant, bigoted and above all struggling people for them to exploit).

Well, the voters did fire him.

Now it's up to his party to do the same, as they have done with so many other former leaders who lost.

He wasn't complaining, he was celebrating.

I wonder who told him about the real world? Perhaps he'll have time to go out and discover it now.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He can retire on a full federal pension, the only way it would get higher would have been if his party won last night. He has not, and will not, need to acquaint himself with the real world.

Wearing my team Canada shirt today because the entire country won last night, whether everyone realizes it or not.

I wouldn't say WON, but bullets were dodged for sure. Phew!

( But obviously we need to work on basic education )
