Alberta MP will resign his seat for Poilievre to run in a byelection
- Thread starter rafterman
- Start date
Minoritie govts will be more the norm going forward. The NDP will support Carney for quiet a while. Unless there is a scandal, there would be a high price to defeating the Libs.
Carney is greasing the rails for Poilievre to get elected to the House of Commons because he knows that if he got in the way, Poilievre would become the leader of the Bloc Alberskatchewan instead, and would be much more difficult to contend with.
In his own special little election, in the safest riding in Canada, at a cost of $1,000,000 or more.
What a strong, tough leader. Maybe we can get the Governor General to start cutting up his pork chops for him so he has small bites to eat.
look, i offered up a simple factual response that your point was irrelevant
i intentionally avoided attacking you ... initially
but you seem hell bent on responding with personal insults
leave it at that and learn something
At least not for Pee Pee it doesnt. The folks in the riding trounced him on his ass.
Which riding are you referring to? Is it that new riding of Carleton-Liberal Rig Job Annex? Ridings like this should only go up on the electoral map with a biohazard label on them!
well at least the people of that riding will get to choose their representative
unlike the poor retched soles who live under your evil authoritarian communist regimes
how often do you visit the commie police stations for your indoctrinations or does that foolishness come to you naturally ?
If the Liberals and NDP really want to save the taxpayer some money they can always decline to run a candidate against him. That would be a responsible thing to do, given their tiny chances of winning the riding. I won't hold my breath to see if they are capable of such decisions.
The riding that now is served by a new unknown Lib called Fanjoy.
Have a look! Knowledge is power Dutchie.
I'm being irrelevant and petty by making fun of PP's loss?
Yet it is OK to parade around flying flags that say "Fuck Trudeau" and "Fuck Carney"
Are you the only person who doesn't know how the riding was fixed for Fanjoy? If so, you certainly don't have any knowledge to share with anyone.The riding that now is served by a new unknown Lib called Fanjoy.

Ironically, you take some effort to help me make my point. It says a lot that a nobody bank-bencher-to-be, as opposed to a star Liberal candidate, could win such a riding over an incumbent of many years with broad national appeal and power within parliament. Redistricting must have made it pretty easy for Fanjoy! I can only imagine who lives in that annex to the Carleton riding - civil servants, CBC employees, recent arrivals to Canada, federal consultants and contractors?
HAHAHAHAHA, why is it every time a Conservative loses the election was rigged? HAHAHAHA, you are hilarious. WOW
Ah, but this is no theory. The riding was so radically redistricted that even, in your own words, a nobody Liberal could win. That's shameless rigging.
A pee wee hockey convener stay-at-home dad got elected over a federal leader. No subtlety to this chicanery. No matter, Poilievre will be back, speaking daily in the House, and holding the Liberals to account in the media. Fanjoy, on the other hand, will be reading and executing his whip's marching orders without question, saying "hear, hear", and drinking coffee for a year until the next election.

Ah, so now it's the other parties' responsibility to bow down and let Lil Petey have his own Super Soft Election Party.
The election would still need to be called, people would still need to cast ballots. And what would stop anyone from running as an independent? More "please suspend democracy until I get what I want" from Conservative Voters.
As for the redistricting:
A look at misleading claims about Poilievre's riding after his election loss
On Monday, Canadian electors granted the Liberal party its fourth consecutive mandate and a minority government.
Nope. The riding got more rural, which should have supported lil' petey.
As long as PP remains CCP Leader, Mark Carney will be Prime Minister.
Political parties never HAVE TO do the right thing for taxpayers, and they often don't. But they should be accountable for their decisions, don't you think? Which do you think is more reasonable and responsible, for the Conservatives to find a new leader, despite their leader increasing their seats and popular vote, or the the Libs/NDP standing down in a riding where they haven't a chance in hell of being competitive, in order to save taxpayers (and their own party coffers) some money?Ah, so now it's the other parties' responsibility to bow down and let Lil Petey have his own Super Soft Election Party.

As to your link, I've seen all these arguments. They aren't persuasive, or in many cases even on point. The riding changes were made by committees? Who was on the committees? Who appointed them? Riding changes could benefit the Conservatives overall across Canada? What has that got to do with the specific effect of changes to Carleton? They made an analysis transposing 2021 results to say Poilievre still had a fighting chance. Too bad they made the changes 2 years later and that the demographics of the annexed area were rapidly changing! Typical intellectually lazy media reporting. The plain truth is that Poilievre did not suddenly become unpopular with the voters in his former riding. He was unpopular in the annex to the riding - an analysis the article fails to undertake.
So the issue is that Elections Canada needed to take special care to give PP a super soft riding, tailor made to make sure only conservative voters were there? Why doe PP deserve special treatment that no other candidate got? Is he that soft? The truth is he cooked himself when he supported the Convoy. The people of Ottawa didn't forget.
A guy who claims to be about fiscal responsibility lost an election fairly, and by a large margin. He then made a backroom deal with another fairly-elected party member to have him step down and hand over his seat, forcing a new election. Telling the voters of Battle River Crow Foot that their vote, their representation is less important than PP's ambition.
The ELECTION that PP is forcing is what will cost money, not that other people are going to run in it.

Dutchie, Dutchie, Dutchie, let me be clear and try to simplify for you. Elections in Canada or the US aren’t “rigged” just because the outcome didn’t favour your preferred candidate. Accusations like that undermine democratic institutions and insult the voters who made their choice.
Riding redistribution happens regularly across Canada through independent, non-partisan commissions. It’s not a Liberal plot, it’s a process meant to reflect population changes and ensure fair representation. If a "nobody unknown Liberal" can win in a new riding, maybe that says more about shifting voter sentiment than about any grand conspiracy.
As for Poilievre, yes, he’ll return to the House, but holding the Carney government to account will require more than rehearsed soundbites and social media clips. And Fanjoy? He’s the elected MP now, chosen by the people of that riding, not imposed, not planted. Dismissing him out of hand before he’s even begun his work says more about your bias than his capabilities.
We live in a democracy Dutchi, so you will have to deal with the outcome and hope Carney doesn't hit it out of the park or your boy will never sniff the PMs office. LOL
