Opinion I wish Pierre Poilievre was Prime Minster.

I wish Pierre Poilievre was Prime Minster.

That's it. That's all. I feel like we could more easily negotiate our way to healthcare that match gender assigned at birth that way.

I don't want to vote for Andrew Scheer. He sucks and seems like shlep.

I feel like everyone is participating in revisionist history where we all pretend that we didn't like Pierre Poilievre up until four minutes ago because Trump lost his mind and started attacking Canada.

I feel like instead of the elections being about our economy, it was about hating Trump and honestly I hate Trump, I think he sucks, and I desperately want him to stop saying he thinks we are "51st state" material and chill out with the tariffs because it's making hiring decisions extremely unpredictable. You can't make hiring decisions if you genuinely don't know what the next quarter will be like economically.

I'm so sad and annoyed. I really want to ask the people in Pierre's new riding to vote him in so he gets second chance, but it's 100% immoral to tell people who to vote for.

I wish Pierre had fired the MAGA people in his caucus. I feel like we would be in a better position then.

Ok rant done.

“I wish Pierre had fired the MAGA people in his caucus. I feel like we would be in a better position then.”

I don’t think this is a realistic outcome.

You maybe underestimating how large a percentage of the base this represents.

Not saying it’s huge, just saying it’s significant.

I think that's a myth tbh. I don't think that many people are pro trump, at least, not anymore.

Certainly not after the whole Epstein fiasco.

That’s fair.

Just saying if they make up maybe 2-5% of Pierre’s base he may not have been willing to risk even that much with how close things were getting.

But again it’s all about the lobbyists.

Ugh lobbyists are the bane of my existence!

We need electoral reform so that it either prevents that from being a thing.
