MODERATORS
Lets hope the cons lose the next election and they run him off like every leader they have when they don't get in.
Is it too much to hope for that they also realize that going ever harder might be the wrong approach?
In the current climate? Yes.
Dude. Cruel cronyism is dumb in all climates.
Can we give him a one way ticket to Florida?
Squinty McProudBoy should move to texas and take his racist, white supremacist, misogynist, fascist base with him.
Fuck what a trump level shit stain.
Can't the Speaker shut that shit down? Especially since he's admitted exactly what he plans to do?
Based solely on the merit of the amendments they've proposed, such as changing titles or a single word, they should face some sort of punishment for wasting precious time. It's clearly meant to do nothing but waste time and guess who pays for it?
Speaker does that and next time it'll be amendments created by ChatGPT. Long ones. It's hard to have a process that cannot be weaponized or deadlocked without removing the process entirely. Or, well, relying on people being good actors.
This is kind of the fundamental weakness of our system, it relies heavily on people acting in relatively good faith.
Poilievre tries to cancel Christmas
Wow. That could make him go down in the polls. Not a great move.
It won't. He has a bedrock of support thanks to basic political tribalism, and he and his handlers probably calculate that they run a greater risk of alienating their base if they run moderate, than running moderate and raising their ceiling. And given how badly the opposite strategy has worked for the NDP (which is alienating it's base to chase the middle) he's not wrong.
tl;dr: if he keeps acting like a protofascist, he'll keep his job, and he might even win if enough people feel Trudeau has worn out his welcome.

I don't think that's possible. Who else will Conservatives vote for? The CPC could act like LPC/NDP and they'd still get their core voters to vote them in because as long as they aren't 'red' or 'orange'.. they're 'good'.
They'd stay home on the general election, and vote for someone to replace Pollievre in the next leadership review.
Pollievre knows he needs to keep feeding red meat to the proto-fascist base, lest they turn on him.
No that fanbase does not stay home. They will vote blue even if they ran a rock as their leader.
Exactly. Not voting means your team won't get elected and for many, it is a team sport.
They hate the opposition more than they could hate themselves.
