Cons now blaming Trump instead of themselves. All Poilievre had to do was stick up for Canada when Trump started calling Trudeau governor. He let Trump disrespect the same office he was fighting to get into. That's why he lost.
The Alex Jones is a big one for me. I absolutely cannot wrap my head around his continued presence in any serious discussion. Nevermind on a national political level. How?? I could not be more disgusted with that man.
Then there’s Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk & other cretins on the Xitter manosphere who also endorsed him. And the MGTOW hashtag on his YouTube account & hanging out with the convoy.
Under-reported by the media & barely touched upon by the campaigns of the other leaders including Carney. He could have been roasted over the coals at the debates! So much repugnancy in his courting of the reactionary right.
Aw, poor Tristin Hopper. It wasn't any other election. It was the 45th Federal Election in Canada in which Poilievre blew a commanding lead in the polls because he couldn't pivot & because he let Jenni Bryne command his campaign. An election that he lost along with his seat he held for 20 years.
You know, when I need to line a rubbish bin, I always choose the National ComPost. When it comes to US interference in Canadian politics, there is nothing better for my trash than the US-paid word-salads from Postmedia shills. The next time you are throwing shit into the garbage pail, wrap it right!
As a canvasser I saw a variety of responses from Con leaning people. A month ago was more pro-Canada anti-Trump sentiment, had a door very very opposed to his "bio clock" message, others hated him for historical reasons and put up with him because other cons were in charge.
One of my fellow scrutineers from the Cons didn’t line his divisiveness, but still voted for him. I wonder if the younger demographic likes the combativeness while older folk put more value on respectful engagement? What did you pick up?
Sounds like IDU speak for "if that darn felon hadn't stirred the shit we'd have had our puppet installed, all that finkelsteining fer nuth'n"

cute way of avoiding the facts. canadas conservatives are joining maga and the other conservative nazi regimes like russia and israel in attempting world domination and global dictatorship. the fact this election happened while trump and maga started going full nazi shows how incompetent nazis are
Exactly !!!!!!! The far right will say anything to spin things in their direction !!!!!……and; if I’d been born wealthy, I wouldn’t working on wrecked vehicles every day 😂😂😂
lol, that's not exactly how elections work, if he'd have been running in the late 1800s maybe, but even then people were brighter than some today! tabloid journalism help create this division in Canada! they need to go!
They should enjoy the speculative fiction while they can because, when the present foreign hedge fund owner is forced to sell, it’ll be back to “non-fiction news”. Strange times when we have to legislate to prevent tautology from becoming oxymoron in practice…moronic oxymoron at that.
I assumed that included more people voting for him in his own riding, but either way they'll just boot out an elected MP somewhere that the Cons won in a landslide and he will run there and win and be an MP.
There's a problem with that. Our election rules state that you must run for MP with the good faith intention of actually being an MP.
Anyone who steps down right after winning would be showing by that act they did not intend to rep their constituents and be in violation of that sworn intention.
It was his election to lose and he lost it because he's fundamentally unlikeble and relied on rage at Trudeau at getting people past that, but I guess that's too brutal for them.
I'm waiting for "If this had been any other election, Poilievre would have won his seat."
Every candidate who lost accepted the loss. PP wants taxpayers to pay for a special byelection ASAP. Well screw that idea. Run again in 5 years, PP, like everybody else. You're not special.
Honestly, this is the dumbest take ever. If he couldn’t handle a different context than his preferred one, he’s not suited to govern. Being PM means constantly dealing with crises and the unexpected. PP is clearly not up to the job if he couldn’t deal with an election scenario he didn’t like.
What they are TRYING to say is that if he'd been running in any of the federal elections PRIOR to this one, then some sort of time travel shenanigans could be at play and the stability of the universe itself could be at risk
A classic family quote, “I would have been able to do it if I was taller” Applied to any scenario. 😂 Applied here, I could have been PM if I was taller.
I did not vote Liberal bc of Donald Trump! I voted Liberal bc Poilievre and Con party are dangerous. Here my list of what Poilievre believes or said that makes me never vote conservative.
This is an excellent compilation and each one a solid reason not to vote for him but you know what scares me more?… the voters that knew about all this and didn’t care or worse, supported it all. Those people are the real threat. How does that get fixed?
hahaha... What do you expect from a US Owned, right winged paper. I have stuck to my "BUY CANADIAN" purchasing policy, including my news. Time to boycott National Post, Toronto Sun and all other post media rags. ❤️🇨🇦 forever
He has been screaming for change for months/ years. That is what we got. Justin Trudeau is gone and both Poilievre and Singh lost their seats. That’s change!
Ce sont les joies de la democratie. Raremenent , sauf en Russie, on ne peut prévoir qui va gagner.
En Juillet 1945. Elections en Angleterre. Churchill devait gagner. Il avait gagne le guerre contre Hitler. Il ne fait pas campagne tellement il est favorit.
Resultat, il perd l'election.
with or without Trump's election meddling, PP would not have qualified to be PM and all of Canada would have paid the price. Let's never forget who he was and who he will always be.

He's just unlucky to have existed in this universe instead of one of the many others. It's really Heisenberg's fault, not PP's.
Get PP a little sign that says "this is the dumbest timeline".
Stopped saying "Canada sucks".
Had an actual plan and election strategy.
Stopped eyeballing women's lady bits and wondering out loud about them.
Stopped talking down to voters and reporters.
Actually answered a question.
The list goes on and on and on.
Morons.
Conrad Black is smert.
Get out of #Stornaway, PP!!
A real lapse by Leafs coaching staff.
They need some new material
Another riveting article from the “National” (American majority owned) Post.

I’m so sorry for your loss National Post 😞
Maybe next time you’ll get a chance to hack away at our Nation 👊🏻
While canvassing i had people who claimed to be lifer con voters who were sick of his shit and wanted to vote for Bruce instead.

The national post has little credibility, considering who they are funded by.
The Conservative result this election: global events that Conservatives could never have foreseen or pivoted strategy to address.
Anyone who steps down right after winning would be showing by that act they did not intend to rep their constituents and be in violation of that sworn intention.
Every candidate who lost accepted the loss. PP wants taxpayers to pay for a special byelection ASAP. Well screw that idea. Run again in 5 years, PP, like everybody else. You're not special.
That said, if he’d been the better person, he still would have won. He owns the loss as much as Carney owns the win!
Way to go Canada!
Somebody give Tristin Hopper a pulitzer prize!
