I love how Poilievre spent two years and an election trying to enrage Canadians into fury over how much they spend on taxes but then loses the election and his own seat… and charges Canadians taxpayers $1.38M to run in a byelection instead of resigning. - ThreadSky

Sounds a lot like a government handout to me.

PP isn't after being elected, he's after revenge & wants to keep LOO's privileges. Battle River-Crowfoot voters should see what he is, before voting for him. He won't give a damn about them, just like he did in Ottawa-Carleton, since it's all about him.

goodgawdmadge.bsky.social•10 days ago

The CPC should be picking up the costs of him living in Stornaway while he is out of office AND for the entire cost of this idiotic by-election.

Absofriggenlutely!!!!

There should be billboards all over Battle River Crowfoot with this post.

… all the while continuing to reside in a mansion paid for by the Canadian taxpayer, while no longer working in a government position, merely a party position.

weaseman.bsky.social•10 days ago

He has a quest for power. Everything he squawks about is just a smokescreen. He’s a fascist who will stoop to any means necessary to try and obtain that power. We as Canadians can’t let him have that power to destroy our democracy and our country like Trump is doing to America. 🇨🇦

Plus, he'll be campaigning for another 4 years. 🤦‍♀️ He's already mentioning town halls. 😡

destry66.bsky.social•10 days ago

JFC🤦🏼‍♀️
I'm so tired of hearing his whiny bullshit.

goonda13.bsky.social•10 days ago

You and me both.

mdoreenbar.bsky.social•10 days ago

Omg!! 😱

violaitsme.bsky.social•10 days ago

That's the terrifying part, 4 more years of his campaigning bullshit...like 2 years+ wasn't enough!

Life long useless politician morphing into a lifelong bullshit campaigner.

While it is true that this is the safest riding for Poilievre to run in to regain a seat in Parliament, I hope the parties running against him don't give him a pass. They need to run fierce campaigns that constantly remind voters what an entitled, useless, spendthrift, pos Poilievre is.

gingerwhinges.bsky.social•10 days ago

The thought of Pierre showing up again in the HoC to flap his wings during QP while the rest of his time he's spending the taxpayers' dime riding the perpetual campaign train is depressing. If the people of BattleRiver-Crowfoot think he will truly represent their interests, they're sadly mistaken.

wildplumbay.bsky.social•10 days ago

We have to list everyone of his failings and broadcast them constantly so we are ready for the next election.

donnainbc.bsky.social•10 days ago

There should be a law/rule, if you lose an election, you don't get a taxpayer funded do-over. Maybe there's a time limit. Say for one year. Or maybe it can be self-funded. But there has to be a limit on the costs taxpayers incur. No matter whether a backbencher or a party leader.

pxlx02.bsky.social•10 days ago

And his base doesn't seem to mind.

goodgawdmadge.bsky.social•10 days ago

The CPC should be paying the cost of the by-election. Why are taxpayers on the hook for this unnecessary tactic?

jazzygurl.bsky.social•10 days ago

I don't love it - the people had spoken and Little PP was - IDGAF - I'm not leaving...

Is it really a bi-election when you kick someone out of their seat?

captncanada.bsky.social•10 days ago

And why are we spending that money to run an election for someone who doesn’t respect us enough to get security clearance?? It’s absolutely disgusting that the Conservatives allow this. Change the damn law already.

justme113.bsky.social•9 days ago

I’m still angry about this.

captncanada.bsky.social•9 days ago

Same, and I don’t intend to shut up about it.

justme113.bsky.social•9 days ago

Nope.
I’m ready and willing to do whatever I can to help whoever can defeat him.
He needs to go!

brucegm.bsky.social•9 days ago

If his party is smart, they will punt him before that happens.

dawnmj.bsky.social•9 days ago

Also: I actually watch House of Commons on tv 🇨🇦🤭 the Poilievre CONS use ALL of their time screaming speeches that are just repeats of the leaders slogan-filled rants (‘axe the tax’ ‘bring it home’ 🙄) to prevent government from getting work done so they can campaign that Liberals are useless in govt🤑

dawnmj.bsky.social•9 days ago

technically less than 10% of Canadians that WANT a Pierrierre in Parliament 🤡 PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM &those who did are in the current ‘Conservative’ caucus & the rest camp in the Sask &AB govts it is an incontrovertible #anomaly 🤠🤑👀 &certainly warrants unbiased critical analysis #cdnpoli

tollerlover05.bsky.social•10 days ago

Plus, we will now have handy andy, Mr 5 finger discount as the interim opposition leader 🙄
Craziness.

joanmckenzie.bsky.social•10 days ago

We're Liberals. We don't believe in that.

free2explore.bsky.social•10 days ago

So hypocritical! But it’s what we can expect from him. I’m so glad he’s not our PM.

pinkypercy.bsky.social•10 days ago

And don’t forget Canadians continue to pay for his residence while he refuses to move out. WTF ????

kevinmulhall.bsky.social•9 days ago

Why should Canadians taxpayers pay for PP's personal unpopularity that kept him from getting reelected.
I think Carney's willingness to accommodate PP is indicative of how much he prefers Pierre to any other would-be Tory leader.

bcreality.bsky.social•10 days ago

Don't forget the benefits paid to him on departure:

Six months salary - severance
$15,000 transition payment
Maintains dental plan, extended healthcare plan
Relocation services from Brookfield Gov Relocation Services

PLUS the CPC will pay him $204,000MP salary waiting for a seat!

goodgawdmadge.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah fuck that. The CPC shoukd be paying this!

eljayvee.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ego > fiscal responsibility

cutbush.bsky.social•10 days ago

Pierre is the very worst of what Canada has to offer.
