PP lost his seat, didn't he?
he did
He may well have, lol.
Hopefully the joker is out.
Still awake for this.
In all seriousness, even if he loses his seat he'll get elected in another riding. They'll push a con to resign in a safe riding and PP will run there. It could happen quickly too. The question is whether the party is going to kick him out or not.
I imagine the Conservatives are going to blow up into civil war. By any metric, the Conservatives had this in the bag. The Liberals had been in power for long enough for the public was getting tired of them. Sure, Trump's talk of annexing Canada wasn't predictable however the Conservatives had a golden opportunity to pitch themselves as the "National Unity" Party and fucked that up.
Sadly, the Conservatives are just going to double down on the same terrble policies and just ride the cultural war to victory.
All PP had to do was not be a boot licker. He couldn't even do that.
They value winning too much to actually fall apart, unfortunately.
why would they do that for a leader that went from certain majority to losing his own seat??
If this election has shown us one thing, it's that the Conservative party is willing to ignore evidence to double-down on a bad idea.
Like the Americans they are party over country. The country has major economic issues. I don't need to hear the prattle on about shit being "woke" or whatever. I need them to provide actual solutions. The modern conservative party like their American counterparts can't govern, they just go on about bullshit and attack the other side.
I'd like to disagree but don't think I can
I'm literally too excited to sleep haha! We're gonna have a productive government that will catch up to the most advanced countries in the world. We will keep and expand upon dentalcare and pharmacare.
I hope so 🙏 Good work and goodnight!
Sleep well friend! Let us dream for the future!
Did you see what I dreamt up? 🤣
