Current Events > Mango Mussolini aka Trump going off on Canada

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wonder what's going through Polievre's head at this point. I guess he can try again in 2028

This went from a Tory layup to a possible big loss. Even though that's on Trump mostly, no chance anyone involved in party leadership survives that catastrophic of a turnaround if they lose.

Does this demented piece of trash think HE'S on the ballot, or is there* really a candidate out there who's saying he'll cede Canada's sovereignty to the US if elected? I don't know which is more deranged.

If the conservatives lose this election, Poilievre's done as leader. The CPC has booted every leader to lose to the liberals since Trudeau and he'd be no exception.

Even if he wasn't, it's pretty unlikely we'd have an election in 2028. If we get any majority, next election is 2029. If we get a liberal minority, I feel an early election would probably be 2027, two years makes sense. Could still last til 2029 though. And if we end up with a conservative minority, next election will probably be this October.

Now that said, he strikes me as the sort who won't want to step down so I imagine either the party will have to replace him or the party will tell him in private if he doesn't step down he'll be replaced.

What's kinda funny is that if the Cons were still running O'Toole as party leader? They probably would have swept this election.

If they were still running a con who could do anything they probably would have swept this election. It honestly wasn't even that big of a pivot they needed to do, and they couldn't do it.

Trudeau resigned and gave them like 3 full months to offer anything besides "Trudeau bad" and they couldn't.

It would have been easy though with Erin O'Toole since he saw the writing on the wall and realised that the Conservatives needed to shift more to the centre. Much of the party wasn't ready for that though and thus after his loss he was replaced with Poilievre who was appealing to the more far right portion of the party.

Has the liberals won yet?

But they cannot actually announce who won districts until voting has ended for the day across the country. So basically we won't know actual results until after BC polls close which is I THINK 7pm? Of course if there's lines in some areas that time can get pushed back. Results from out east should come in pretty quickly since they'll be counting before polls close in the west but they just can't release the results.

Does he even watch the news? All of Canada is pissed at him.

Well, there's roughly 10-12% that actually want to join the USA and most of them are concentrated in fucking Alberta.

I'm going to say up front I am not very familiar with each province's politics, but is Alberta Canada's Florida or something

Anyway all else I have to say here is yeah please do not make the wrong choice like the USA did

I admit this leaves me puzzled. Will Trump's grandstanding help the conservative get votes?

How many Canadians are voting? As a rule the larger the turnout the more likely that the progressive wins. The only way that Trump's behavior could help Poilievre is that it convinces Canadians not to vote.

We'll probably get some kind of liberal/Bloc/NDP coalition government instead of letting the cons do anything.

Such a coalition would also probably see us back at the polls before the end of the year. The leader of the Bloc recently called Canada an "artificial country of no real value". A coalition that's heavily reliant on them would be useless, especially since the Bloc sees the Liberals as their biggest rivals.
