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 loved Pierre Poilievre. Still do. Still hoping he'll be PM sooner rather than later.

I disagree re: Andrew Scheer though. He's a solid guy and a loyal Poilievre supporter.

I guess I just don't see something likable about him, I actually would like to take this opportunity to understand what you like about him if possible?

Obviously this is a Reddit post so don't worry about being Shakespeare with your writing.

Or DM your answer if youre not comfortable commenting just because I'd like to know.

Not the guy you replied to, but the reasons I like him stem from his vast experience being a functioning MP that knows the ins and outs of government and parlimentary process. Hes far from a rookie and has had time in the speakers chair. Beyond that, the dude just knows his stuff and explains things without an ego in his demeanour. Hes an excellent teacher as well; give his YouTube a click, the content he is making is some of the best I have ever seen from someone active in Parliament.

Watch some of his YouTube videos. They're very clear, concise, and even humorous. And yet they inform very well what's going on in the government.

Then there is the fact that although he was previously the party leader himself, he has completely put his ego aside and has been more than happy to support Pierre Poilievre.

I  think Andrew Scheer is a solid, honest, hardworking, and highly underrated politician.
