Really?
Really?!
I was closely following this and I did NOT expect this high of a number. I expected a high number but 87 is crazy and bad sign for the Reformacons. 😅
It signifies that the party membership is a bit disconnected from the conservative voter pool. CPC - the party - numbers are much higher with voters than PP’s.
Yeah… like this guy is hugely unpopular, across almost every demographic.
I do not think they’ll get a stronger performance out of him, this was the largest election turnaround I’ve ever seen, and he’s still complaining about Trudeau.
Can still win when Carney expires though, which is a matter of time for any politician. There’s no losing if the alternative is more underwater than him. His core base is pretty solid and over 30%.
Assuming Carney doesn’t make people’s lives better.
I don’t really think Trudeau did much for our economy, that’s by far his weakest point. And the conservatives just go “we’re the party of the economy and jobs” and people lap it up.
Assuming Carney doesn’t make people’s lives better.
Of course. I’m skeptical for myriad of reasons but I hope things turn optimistic. I maxed out my political contribution limits to get him in power instead of having a Freeland-lead LPC lose to PP. Wouldn’t mind getting a bit more than no-PP for it. 😂
I did too, and I might donate again this year with how he’s doing.
My big issue with the party is the other liberal MPs who are still awful at communicating what’s being done, and some, like the AI minister still seem like complete javkasses.
Do you have realistic hope Build Canada Homes would be effective in significantly increasing housing construction with its current strategy?
Jesus Christ
This is great for Canada in that it probably means Canada won’t rollover to become the 51st state anytime soon, but somehow I am still sad.
I think it’s because this smug little dipshit gets to win at anything. It’s sad.
the way PP had to stack the votes to get this is akin to “my mom says I’m the nicest boy there is”
Eh? What happened? I don’t know how the CPC election process works in detail.
In-person only voting. If any party member from across the entire country couldn’t make it to Calgary in person on a weekday, they couldn’t vote.
Hm, but they’re delegates from EDAs so supposedly most EDAs should send a delegate, no? I imagine whoever is a delegate would be involved enough to travel to Calgary. I guess that still leaves the selection bias in place.
The Conservatives are pathetic. Do they really have noone better than that sniveling loser?
Better in the sense of “more electable?” Yes, absolutely. One of my biggest fears is that Ford will eventually launch a successful leadership bid. But for some deranged reason the people who vote in Conservative leadership contests really, really like Pollievre. He’s the Maple MAGA boy and they love him for that I guess.
Looks like they’re leaning into the strategy of motivating committed supporters rather than attracting new ones. That might work, but IMO he’s going to bleed off too many people to Carney.
It probably would have worked against fourth term Trudeau, but that’s not who he’ll be facing.
(First comment on piefed):
Haaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Yeah because they know that the average voter will eventually swing conservative regardless of who’s in the seat, if you don’t believe me NL recently elected Tony Wakeham who is so ravingly unpopular here before the election even the diehard conservatives voted for him while holding their nose.
They are waiting for the pendulum to swing and when it does they have a useful stooge.
