so is Poilievre taking charge this semester or next? we know it will be that pos anyway

there is no one in the liberal party that could step up and win an election right now, unfortunately.

we just have to pray that milhouse does a bad enough job that we'll have another election soon after.

He'll be next in. At best, the Liberals will be fighting for 2nd place. The most optimistic outcome would be the Liberals and NDP waking up, smelling the coffee, and securing enough support to get the Conservatives down to a minority government, but that would require a miracle.

parliament won't be coming back till the end of march, at which point we'd likely get an election called - typically six weeks, so may

the “fuck Trudeau” bumper sticker crowd will have to find a personality now.

When that compromised turd PP wins and nothing changes or changes for the worst. I want to know who they’ll blame.

[devopet]

Immigrants, esp. women. And let's be honest they already do.

[better2beloved]

The rising anti-immigrant sentiment is scary, they’ve literally built this country.

[_clubsandwiches]

Nah, they won’t. They’ll continue dining out on this and blaming Trudeau and the Liberals for anything and everything in perpetuity.

Anything to distract from the real issues.

Ugh I wish there's a good candidate lined up to take over but as usual they shit the bed. I don't want fucking PP elected at all. This guy hasn't had a real job in his life and he wants to serve the public? Get real.

[vanilla_09]

Like PP is a bum. And the fact that Conservatives/RR nuts are propping him up is just laughable to me because the guy has never properly worked ever.

[ever_reaching]

PP is a career politician who has not only done nothing in his life but also secured his own government pension years ago. Yet he has the audacity to go after Singh about Singh's pension (which wouldn't even be half the size of PP's due to PP's insane tenure as a bottom-feeder in the Conservative caucus). I do think Singh has been holding onto his seat for waaay too long and him refusing to step down before this election (which also has the optics of refusing to step down as party leader before his pension is secured) was a big mistake, but PP is unnecessary government bloat personified. His entire existence as a politician is a mistake.

I do like that how the NDP held the Liberals to passing some progressive policies. But I don't quite like Singh's way of doing politics. I know politicians will just say what they have to in order to win and he wants the NDP to win, but in previous elections, he was acting like electing the Liberals was the same as electing the Cons. I have eyes and ears, and no it's not the same. You're not going to make me like your party by saying shit like that. Honestly, Jack Layton was always going to be a hard act to follow.

[noanchovy]

I'm so nervous.

[inmyhansonshirt]

I'm scared for what is to come, especially when it comes to the rights that could be lost.
