If I'm Carney I put one stipulation on calling an early by-election to accommodate double loser Pierre Poilievre, he must gets a security clearance. Should he decide he doesn't want one, it's his choice to stay out of Parliament. It's a reasonable ask. #cdnpoli

The fact that voters, in a riding that Pierre Poilievre has represented for 20 years, gave Pierre the boot, should be a warning to the rest of Canada that this guy isn't worthy of being anywhere near power.

CBC News is still posting on X (a hate-speak and conspiracy-peddling platform that is hostile to science and journalism) & not posting on Bluesky; a platform that has become integral in Canada's "Elbows Up" movement. 🇨🇦 You can contact the CBC at [email protected] or 1-866-306-4636 Time to go post-al, CBC.

So, now that PM Carney has bent over backwards with class to ensure undeserving Pierre Poilièvre can re-enter the House ASAP, watch the CPC show its trademark gratitude by defaming him (and pretending they got Pierre back there on their own) as thanks.

There is a national narrative right now forming that we should show grace and leniency to Poilievre who has said and done horrific things and sometimes I am so embarrassed living in Canada at the delusional insistence we be “nice,” over everything else.

I’m sorry we’re supposed to worry about the children of a man that voted against affordable daycare, school lunches, and wanted to imprison the parents of homeless children? Give your heads a shake. #cdnpoli

I don’t think a man who dragged his non-verbal autistic kid on the road to overwhelming rally after overwhelming rally cares much about her well being but now she is being used an excuse why he can’t move out of a tax payer funded mansion with a staff? My god, wake up. #cdnpoli

I wish the Trudeaus were given half the sympathy the Poilievres are.

It was disappointing enough to watch Poilievre be re-installed immediately after his defeat but to watch so-called progressive content creators and independent journalists advocate for him is unforgivable.

So the House of Commons are going to pass legislation now that the leader of the Opposition requires security clearance and the RCMP are going to do a thorough check, right? Or we’re just going to go back to the foreign-funded status quo? #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre in a nutshell. If ever there was a case to drain the swamp...

I don't always say people should be given a second chance, but when I do, I'm talking about me.

Funny how conservatism grows as public education is defunded and more low-information voters are created. #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre hasn't been humbled at all. He's still the same entitled dick who lost is own riding seat because he didn't think he needed to put in the work to campaign to keep it. Let the CPC keep him if they want. He will never lead them to govt. That's fine for the rest of us.

His party lost the election. Even though it's not a thing in Canada, his party also lost the popular vote. He lost his seat. But he's going to force himself back. He, literally, will now be a #PeePeeStain on democracy. #OnlyInCanada

I’m sure the people of BC are tired of it being referred to as “western discontent”. It’s an Alberta and Sask phenomenon, mainly among parochial resource workers who cannot accurately articulate how Canadian federalism works - and who buy into the narrative that separation would solve everything.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

One very likeable thing about Prime Minister Mark Carney is he’s clearly the smartest person in the room without telling us or even hinting that he’s clearly the smartest person in the room. By contrast, piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre thinks he is (but isn’t) and tells us, over and over and over. 🍁🤷🏼🍁

After paying Poilievre’s salary for 20 years and eventually his very handsome pension too, now we’re paying twice in a matter of months for elections to help him keep his job. Pierre was right when he told Jordan Peterson that we’re the stupid ones.

This!

This is what vote splitting did. The Liberals were only 611 votes away from a majority.

Pierre Poilievre held the same seat for 20 years and then after becoming opposition leader and everyone got to see the real Poilievre he lost that seat and now he’s trying to save himself by running in a riding that’d eat a egg salad sandwich off a hot car dashboard if it had a CPC logo on it.

Prime Minister Carney says his invitation for the King of Canada to give the Speech from the Throne underlines that we are a sovereign nation. Quite right, under the circumstances. America wants a King. We already have one. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Seriously fucking hell a pediatrician representing Regina's pediatricians was ignored, dismissed, interrogated & passive aggressively mocked & a resident who "heard some things" is the person these councillors are going to get their science from. FUUuuuuuuuck. #yqrcc

It does have to be said that the main reason why Poilievre running in a by-election is such an unusual case is because an opposition leader who lost an election and their own riding on the same night would typically be expected to resign.

For someone who talks a lot about liberal elites as grifters, Poilievre seems pretty comfortable squatting in Stornaway with his taxpayer funded butler and personal chef.

I’m the opposite of a monarchist, but this is an appropriate gesture from Canada’s head of state, given the hungry noises from our neighbour to the south…

Wow, Prime Minister Carney say he will call a bi election as soon as possible if that's what the Con party wants, he doesn't have to do that. No games, no bullshit, no playing dirty, there is no way the Cons would have done that for the Liberals, no way. This is a true leader, WE LUCKED OUT CANADA!

Pierre Poilievre seeks to regain a seat in Canadian Parliament by running in riding in the province wishing to separate from Canada and that's why this will be called Schrödinger's Byelection.

Honestly if Pierre Poilievre is so weak he needs to steal the safest Tory riding in the country to keep his job, what dies that say about the party at large?

A party that wants to win power wouldn't keep Poilievre as leader Huge negatives, deeply hated & baked in strongly. Ex CPC MP Lisa Raitt said voters told her ‘We like your party, but not your Leader.’ Mr. Poilievre ran behind his party; Mr. Carney ran ahead of his. archive.is/L8c76 #cdnpoli

I don't want to *feel* safe biking in cities, I want to *be* safe. Big difference.

Scott Moe had two opportunities this week to shut down talk of separation once and for all — and he didn’t.   Saskatchewan people deserve better than vague answers when the unity and future of the country is on the line.

Who did this? 😹

The #cdnmedia is so out of touch with the pulse of Canadians it is incredible. The entire country banded together to remove Poilievre and they’re clamouring for his return because of the click bait. Just like Trump. #cdnpoli

KISS OUR COLLECTIVE ASSES, MOE #SkPoli #CdnPoli

In 2011, the SK govt refused to hold a referendum on daylight savings time, because support for the move was just 27%. Separation from Canada has at best 20% support in SK , but this referendum we will allow? A very dangerous stunt. sasktoday.ca/provincial-new…

“Trump has helped us so much for Canadian unity that I will propose him for the Order of Canada. But they told me that in Canada, you can’t give the Order of Canada to someone who has a criminal record.” 🏅🇨🇦 ~Jean Chrétien, hero, winner of it all 😱😂❤️🍁

Their bitching about feeling “alienated” again while they are drowning in subsidies for O&G. Meanwhile the rest of Canada:

I've never understood the vitriol focused at Nickelback. Now I do. File them away in the shit bin like Gretzky.

🇨🇦 My Fellow Canadians 🇨🇦 In the coming day, the Bloc Rednecois in #Alberta will disturb the peace & unity of Canada with their little #AlbertaSeparation movement Relax - never gonna happen 1) Alberta was created from 🇨🇦 Crown Land 2) Requires Constitutional Amendment 3) Treaties 6, 7, 8

Someone told me that Pierre Poilievre wanted to attend the game tonight but couldn’t get a seat.

I am confident @blakedesjarlais.bsky.social can beat Poilievre if the @liberalca.bsky.social acts responsibly, and does not tun a candidate, if they re-run Poilievre there. But everyone in #Edmonton needs to keep all eyes 👀 on and be ready. Liberals, tell the party to stand down.
