    You can look at it that way, out you can look at it like this: Canada recognized that it could go down that path and so one of our political parties presented a solution so we didn’t have to.

    Our former PM chose to resign as he understood he was so disliked that our conservatives would win. When has an American politician put aside their personal aspirations for the good of their country?

    Still sure out shit smells as bad as yours?

      Canada would have made precisely the same choice of stepping on a rake and slamming themselves in the face with stupid conservative politics if the US hadn’t done it first and demonstrated how dumb of a choice it is.

        Pierre Poilievre only got 41% of the vote in the 2025 federal election. The reality does not match your personal narrative.

          Conservatives gained 25 seats and got over 2M more votes in 2025 from 2021. The reason the Liberals held onto a minority government is thanks to voters abandoning the NDP and Greens. Unless Carney starts delivering on the environment and for workers, I doubt he’ll be able to retain those voters in another election.

            A lot of the NDP voters I know both voted Liberal this election and regret doing that. The best part of this seems to be that the NDP seems to have woken up and started to be a party again.

              I don’t regret doing exactly that this time. I just hate that it seemed necessary. NDP support had dropped dramatically and there was nothing coming from them. it does seem to have kicked them in the ass to get their shit together. getting closer to a two party system is scary
