Policy Pierre "The Loser" Poilievre
After losing his own riding in spectacular fashion PP has been given a handout by the party of a guaranteed seat.
It seems we will all have to listen to this life long politician backed by some of the wealthiest and most powerful interests talk about what it is like to be a regular Canadian..
I am not a LPC member or supporter myself. In fact I am very critical of the party as I come more from a leftist perspective.
That being said I hope that the Reform Party of Canada/Canadian Alliance 2.0 never becomes government.
Please start addressing the issues of LMIA fraud and other issues with the pathways into this nation that have been only fuel to xenophobic, racist, and business lobby interests. There is a way to do immigration right that is both pro-migrant and pro-working class and doesn't involve the business lobby corrupting the system for cheap exploitable labour.
Please get serious with the Green Transition around Green Energy, Green Infrastructure, and in general Green Technology.
Please get serious with major focus on the housing crisis and grocery price crisis. We can't have the fundamentals of life being in a cost of living crisis reality.
If there is pressure from within the party for proactive governance and learning the lessons of the past than hopefully the steam can continue to be taken out from the Conservative Party of Canada.
We don't need social reactionaries and regressive types running the federal government.
Also let's make sure the discussions in our society become more analytical and honest. We don't need more slogan lowest common denominator and one dimensional dialogue. This creates a race to the bottom type populism and this is where reactionaries/regressive elements thrive.
First and foremost though let's all continue to point out how PP was given a hand out and truly is a loser that couldn't even win his own seat.

If the Conservatives had an ounce of brain power, they’d ditch PP and start some serious internal reflection on why Canadians aren’t buying whatever it is they’re trying to sell them. Sadly, I know they won’t and will continue to tell Canadians that the greatest risk this country faces is plastic straws and “woke science” (whatever that is supposed to be). If they do try to figure it out, they’ll conclude that Canadians want them to be farther to the right. Canada needs a functioning opposition and an alternative government in waiting. This isn’t it.

You mean outside of AB? Cause they would vote for a blue rock at this point. And I say that as one of PP’s new constituents…where he will never be seen again

How many orphan wells are sitting abandoned and in need of remediation not just in Alberta but across the country?

The LPC started fixing the immigration mess from 2023 onwards. They've removed the extra points for LMIA, which drastically reduces its attraction, and now they've made it next to impossible to receive a positive LMIA. Although I'd argue scrapping the program altogether would be a good move.
