      I’m not sure that he’ll benefit from this majority. Pierre will go even more on the attack due to seething anger and frustration, which will then feed into his unpopularity. Question Period will become even more of a circus because social media is all that he has going for him for the foreseeable future to hold on to his base.

      Why did PP run in a bi-election ?
      Why PP is always so negative and hateful ?
      Why does PP keep saying slogans ?
      why does PP do anything ?

      answer is always the same – cos it helps him stay as a leader of the CPC.

      >That was the quagmire that former leader Jagmeet Singh tried to navigate, to dismal results

      Singh delivered *admirable* results in coercing the LPC into a national dental care program and at least a partial national pharmacare program. It’s a shame it didn’t pay off at the ballot box, but give the man his due.

      I don’t see the Liberal majority benefitting Pierre. Just because, if he decides to go back to his old form, engaging in catchy sound bites and partisan politics, there are really only two outcomes:

      1. Because Carney now has a majority, it will be easier for them to pass policies despite PP’s objections. And the more PP keeps acting like he did when the government was a minority, and having nothing to show for it because the government can just push through policies, the more weak and ineffective PP looks to the public. He’ll come across as being irrelevant, which won’t help his image at all.

      2. PP’s rhetoric somehow results in provoking the government into calling an election, and in that scenario, I don’t see any way that PP ends up with more seats than he did going into the election. I don’t see that as happening, because Carney already has a majority and knows Canadians don’t want another election and would punish whoever they felt was responsible for calling one. And also, I think at some point, PP’s inner circle would warn him of what an election could do to their party. Of course, whether PP actually listens to them is another matter altogether.

      I think he benefits in 2 potential ways, but loses in 1 other at least

      Benefits:

      1. Carney has made Poilievre the most ideologically powerful man in Canada. Poilievre might not realize this. His supporters certainly don’t. But it’s true. Carney has already implemented much of the 2025 CPC platform, and may well go further right in a majority context

      2. It certainly does give Poilievre time to regroup, and also gives time for Carney’s lustre to fade over the next couple years. People forget that Justin Trudeau was basically untouchable until 2017 at least, before his popularity began to slide.

      But the risk is that this gives the CPC caucus a clear window to fire him, and have a clear timeframe for a leadership contest while the Liberals are in a majority period.

      It’s entirely up to the Liberals to sink or swim. If things don’t move fast enough (or the wrong direction) then they’ve lost the ability to blame the opposition for mucking things up

      Even if the government wasn’t majority, there wasn’t not viable path for PP to win an elections against Carney. Current polls place liberals at +200 seats. However, to benfiit him, he needs to stop his MPs crossing the floor and change, which is unlikely able to do. His attack on Carney’s education credentials were beyond stupid.

      I think Canada (and the Conservatives who don’t want to wallow in opposition anymore) would prefer PP quietly tender his resignation.

      Pierre Poilievre is politically dead in the water. And unelectable
      He is missing two crucial things for his success- Justin Trudeau and he is unlikeable.
      He is a one trick pony whose time has passed and there is no alternative waiting in the wings.

    10. mummified_cosmonaut on

      The Conservative calculus is only wrong if you really and truly believe that Carney is actually going to successfully fix the issues that bedevilled the government he inherited and not just merely survive reaping the orange whirlwind.

      Winston Churchill had to leave the Yalta Conference because he lost the 1945 British election. He was not judged for his wartime leadership – he was judged for his Conservative predecessors and his drunk uncle red baiting of the Labour Party during the campaign.

      Maintaining some sort of November 4th 2024 status quo of Canadian dissatisfaction isn’t a winning hand for Carney to run for reelection on. Labour in 1945 got to run the election campaign they had always wanted to and so might the Conservatives.

      Well now he can say what ever u hinged thing he can think of and have no requierment to try and effect government

      I think Pierre is plotting his future to be like Farage. Lucrative on the speaking circuit as an influencer, pundit without having any real accomplishments other than shit disturber and an excellent contact list. The only wrinkle is that he is a small-time unknown in the rest of the world.

      I don’t like liberals. The fact that PP can’t stop his MPs to cross the floor and help make his opponent the majority government. It reflects he is not so good.
