    He is literally incapable of doing that. His entire political life since the age of 16 has been smug opposition and insults to Liberals (and fellow Conservatives who tell him to play ball).

    He’d rather work with Trump. He’d rather sell out everyone and everything, including himself. He is completely self-absorbed and can barely make it through a sentence without lying or promising to do something stupid.

      He was a Reform Party member, don’t act like he’s part of the Conservative Party

        How does that affect what I said? Why does that matter at all? He’s now a member of the federal Conservatives and has been for years since the merger. His fellow Conservatives have told him to tone it down and he’s made a whole song and dance of not listening. When he was a teenager he did the same shit with the Reform party — part of the reason why the merger even happened is due to his lobbying.

        There’s a party leadership review in January that I don’t think he’ll make it through because I like to believe in reasoning and logic. But we’ll see! Dumber shit has happened to the Conservatives than him keeping his leadership position in the face of absolute incompetence; Danielle Smith proves that.

          He can lean back on previous Conservative leaders to say criticism of him is unreasonable. We should keep treating him as a Reformer

            I’m aware of his history. I don’t need to pretend he’s part of an organization that doesn’t exist anymore, I’m fully capable of realizing he’s full of shit in his present form.

    Can anyone genuinely say what he has to offer. The guy has little to no legislative abilities in his resume after 2 decades on the job and mostly just has slogan based rebuttals debate wise.

    Are the Conservatives just supposedly to fast track whatever Liberals propose? Because as long as it’s stuff like C5 they’re already on board with that.

      He makes people angry. That’s about it.

      You could replace him with a talking doll with a pull string that says things like “The radical liberals are ruining the country” and “the carbon tax killed the Canadian dream”.

      Nothing he’s said in the last 6 months has any substance except to say everything is awful.

      And many things are, but to govern you have to try and fix those things.

      I’m not sure if it helps but when I ran his speeches through audio acoustic analysis software, the comparison was “plate of beans negotiating it’s way out of a cow’s digestive tract”.

    He won’t. Polievre is an obnoxious prat. That being said, never interrupt an opponent when they are failing. If that’s the best the con party can come up with to lead them, let him “lead”. They will never win govt with him in charge. I also despise Carney, but he’s unfortunately the lesser of two evils.

    The Liberals don’t necessarily need Conservative MP’s votes to pass legislation. What the government needs to enact its plans is cooperation from Conservative led provinces, Ford.

    pierre poilievre wants to be governor of the 51st state. He would be on his knees to trump so fast the carpet would catch fire.
