You got to get rid of those nazis or they’ll be ruling the roost in an election cycle, trust me. –an american
Some of his ideas, like defunding CBC, are foolish.
I don’t think Pierre Poilievre is a Nazi. Statements like that are unhelpful.
Oh ffs. Stop playing it down. Look at the riding he’s being given. Battle river. It’s conspiracy city. Far cry from Carleton… I know that part of Alberta well . I’m telling you right now: it ain’t good . He went from serving coffee to the convoy to living with them.
Step off with the gaslighting. This is the type of exact crap the Americans just went through. Knock it the hell off.

Lol
He likes to dine with Nazis, and we all know the old adage about Nazis at a dinner table.
People said the same thing about MAGA/Trump.
Conservatives are holding the door open for fascism, and if you can’t close it, it will come in.
“Progressives”/Liberals are straight up begging for authoritarian dictatorships.
I missed when calling for smaller government, less regulations, less red tape, untouchable free speech, and less censorship suddenly became “fascism”.
You’re adorable.
That was America’s favorite phrase in 2024…
PP is a populist conservative politician so he’s not actively fascist, but do you know what happens when your society has a fascism-shaped hole? Politicians like PP expand to fill that hole.
I wish people would stop calling him a populist. Doug Ford is a populist. PP is pretending to be a populist and is, at best an ideological populist but populists pivot. He doesn’t. We should be referring to him as an Opportunist because it all looks like an act to me.
If it walks like a populist and it quacks like a populist…
First time on Lemmy/Reddit?
Probably hundreds or thousands of times this image has been posted by supporters of the literal fascists picking apart the United States, mocking others for overreacting over the last months and years. The thing has happened, how do you think you have a point?
If it was the other way around he’d never let Carney hear the end of it - “Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat”.
Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.
He already didn’t let Carney hear the end of it - “Carney, who was not elected…”
So I’m guessing Alberta is Canada’s version of Alabama?
Probably closer to Texas, since we have a bunch of oil.
Ah. I see.
milhouse is a fucking snake and a con-artist.
Are there not residency requirements?
My riding decided to elect someone who lives two cities away, so I guess not at the local level at least
Nope
Man that seems so Twisted to me. How can you represent people you don’t spend any time around? How can you claim to know their needs if you don’t even live among them?
I’m not Canadian, but I’ve previously known that in the US you only have to live in the same state as the district you’re representing. An argument in favor of that concept (that I admittedly just made up) is that congressional boundaries get rewritten every decade. In theory, this could be used to push a rep out of Congress if someone really wanted to, if they were required to live in district. State boundaries are much more stable so this is pretty good immunity to that.
Imagine if he fails to be elected again in the partials
He’ll win, the only reason he’s coming to Alberta is because it’s a slam dunk.
82% in favour of conservatives during the last election but Carney can wait 6 months to launch the by-election, that might be long enough to piss off some conservatives that might want to get rid of PP.
Is it within parliamentary procedure to address him as the former member from Ottawa-Carleton?
that was predictable
Actual beta male
American here. Can someone explain why Carney won’t be seeking NDP support?
To form an alliance you mean? The Bloc Quebecois already said they’ll be quiet for the next year as there’s lots to do, having two parties to work with means you don’t necessarily need to always bend the same way so it’s advantageous to leave the door open to sometimes compromise left and sometimes compromise in favour of what Quebec wants…
Political parties should just standby the morals and principles they try to uphold.
If they align together, great they can both vote yes. If they don’t then they don’t. Pandering to other parties to get their vote just gets in the way of what you are actually trying to achieve.
That’s my take anyways
Nobody respects you Milhouse
That was quicker than I expected.
I for one didn’t expect someone to resign this quickly.
PP has Mr. Kurek to thank. Some of you will understand this statement differently than others. 😂
