You have to admit, the Liberals are masters of demonizing opposing parties and their supporters just blindly go along with their twisted schemes.I have family like this. Their minds are programmed to think Conservatives are evil and romanticize the Liberals.
The next federal election will be a goodbye election...does that count?Wow that was a close race. Does anyone know if there are any other by elections in the future?
We've all got family like this.I have family like this. Their minds are programmed to think Conservatives are evil and romanticize the Liberals.
I wouldn't read TOO much into that.Interesting to note Mad Max’s Peoples Party placed behind the Greens.
Conservative Don Stewart 15,555 42.1 % Liberal Leslie Church 14,965 40.5 % NDP-New Democratic Party Amrit Parhar 4,044 10.9 % Green Party Christian Cullis 1,059 2.9 % People's Party - PPC Dennis Wilson 234 0.6 %
That feels like whistling past a graveyard.It was a marginal victory by about 500 votes in a bye-election.
I'm not seeing it as a portend of much at all.
You can't actually say that from these results.Attention, my hopium-addicted rightie brethren. Here are the results of the bye election.
The Tories plundered most of their increase in votes from leftie parties like the Greens and the NDP.

LOL...Rae Days!Trudeau should resign, not because he is bad, but because the fake internet hyperbole is too much to overcome. People just hate him... because his face is too symmetrical or something. So a rebranding is in order with a new face at the helm. Is Bob Rae still young enough? He was unfairly tarnished in the 80's by both sides for choosing the correct middle path. He is brilliant and can wax poetically without notes.
If they are it wouldn't be anything we haven't seen in the past with leaders from all parties. 8 to 10 years is a good run for a party leader, especially if they are PM.Consider this...people are fed up with Trudeau whether you think this was a "real" election or not.
Is this for real?? The gall.This pic sums up Liberal government. I wonder if he still gets to sleep in front of her office.
That's the thing.I have family like this. Their minds are programmed to think Conservatives are evil and romanticize the Liberals.
The dilemma lies in identifying a successor who can surpass the previous leader's performance. When Mulroney stepped down, Campbell's leadership led to significant electoral setbacks for the party in subsequent elections. A notable instance is the victory of a Loblaw lobbyist in St. Paul, exemplifying how voters can be influenced by misinformation campaigns. Allegations blaming Justin for inflation and various other issues contribute to this narrativeTrudeau should resign, not because he is bad, but because the fake internet hyperbole is too much to overcome.

Agreed. Probably more like a general shift to the right by all voters. NDP-ers voting Lib and some Lib voters going Tory.You can't actually say that from these results.
You don't know who shifted where without exit polling.
The idea that all the "leftier than Lib" party supporters voted Conservative is a bit of a stretch without further evidence.
James, no.That's the thing.
People talk about how in Canada we are now seeing political divisions akin to US politics like we've never seen before. And there is truth in that. But when you look at it, it starts with Justin Trudeau .
In all my life, which is slipping more and more into decrepitude with each passing week, I've never seen such a divisive Prime Minister. He constantly insults and belittles ordinary Canadians who simply don't agree with him. We constantly get referred to as "racists", "misogynists", "islamophobes", "cruel", "small minded", "hateful", "homophobes", you name it. And for some, he suspends their constitutional rights, freezes their bank accounts, threatens to use the government to take away their children and holds them without bail for months.
These aren't his political rivals, these are ordinary Canadians he is constantly labeling as such. Just look at the rhetoric he and Freeland were using in the run-up to the by-election.
I can not think of a previous Prime Minister who ever behaved in such a reprehensible way in the past. Seriously. I don't recall Chretien, or Mulroney or PET ever calling Canadian people racists or misogynists. 45 percent of the population never would have voted for the Liberals and to Justin that means they are all racists and misogynist and homophobic. It's sick.
He's just like Hilary Clinton who labeled half of Americans "deplorables". No Hilary, they are citizens of the United States and the fact that they were not going to vote for you doesn't make them a deplorable.
Same goes to Poilievre, don't ever make that mistake. Don't label citizens who choose not to vote for you as anything but people you simply have a political disagreement with. In closing, i recall the late great John McCain who actually came to the defense of Barack Obama during political rallies when things got carried away. Can't imagine Justin Trudeau ever being a gentleman like that. And for that he deserves to lose.
You are worried about a leader who you think is dividing the country so would prefer the guy who marched with the anti vaxxers, is linked to incels and has never had a real job?That's the thing.
