    Certain Conservatives can’t even accept that PET is gone.

    I swear the whole family lives rent free in so many CPC heads.

    It fits into the American playbook of blaming Obama and Biden, even though they’ve been out of office for 10 and nearly 2 years respectively. The Conservatives love to push blame onto others and not take any accountability.

    On the surface, rare Postmedia W with this piece. The author doesn’t seem to believe the title, himself, though:

    > Trudeau was politics as performance. Optics, symbolism, branding, emotion. He invited outrage because outrage was part of the show. He governed through narrative and identity, and his opponents responded in kind.

    Anyone who believes this just has a chip on their shoulder and can’t accept that they don’t need to be performatively upset about Trudeau’s very existence on this mortal plane anymore. I said it in another comment on another post, but *at worst* Trudeau was just too dumb to see he was being played like a fiddle on social issues from the CPC in order to manufacture the idea that all he and the Liberals cared about was putting blue-haired women into men’s bathrooms, men into women’s sports, and fried crickets into everyone’s diets.

    The Liberals are functionally really no different under Carney than they were under Trudeau. Carney’s just *much* better at framing ideas through a business-focused lens than Trudeau was. And that’s a good thing because the vast majority of what the Liberals did under Trudeau was good policy from a business and economics standpoint, but it angered a lot of people because it was framed through the lens of the social issues that those policies would address.

    I totally agree that they should move on. It is just ridiculous to see some of their proxy, like Canada Proud, continuing trolling against Trudeau. However, I believe that their hate against Trudeau what was keeping the CPC together after Harper left and it will be very difficult for them to move on without some cracks in the party unity, as we saw with them to move floor crossers.

    They won’t and they can’t. They need their scapegoat to blame or else they have to self-reflect.

    Maybe it’s projection. Even though Stephen Harper lost, stepped down as leader of the Conservatives, he didn’t really leave. He’s still there part of their caucus and finding ways to influence them and their future party leaders.

    I don’t think they can, or want to. PP’s popularity was built on going after Trudeau for years. The irony is, if the CPC had taken their foot off the gas just a bit, maybe Trudeau would have tried to stay on and run again, in which case he’d in all likelihood lose badly. But instead, he leaves, Carney comes in, and the CPC is so hyper-fixated on Trudeau that they can’t process they’re now campaigning against someone who’s a completely different person and has a long list of qualifications and accomplishments that PP’s resume could never compare to. But all the CPC could do is say ‚he’s the same as Trudeau‘ and campaign as if they were running against Trudeau, which they weren’t.

    And if the CPC wasn’t already drunk with hate against Trudeau, the reality is, Trudeau is 3-0 in elections, or 4-0, if one considers that his decision to step down and not seek a fourth term, ensured that the Liberal party GOT a fourth term.

    As we must accept that Poilievre was the perfect Anti-Trudeau weapon, as if his entire political career destined him to fight Trudeau, we must also accept that Poilievre is a feather weight compared to Carney and that, contrary to Carney, Poilievre is, himself, a product of the system.

    Youngest ever elected MP in Ottawa at 24yo, today the most senior politician in Parliament. Poilievre is a product of the system he claims to be fighting against. He’s been taking a wage from the taxpayers for almost all of his adult life and holds a taxpayers funded retirement plan worth millions, the biggest retirement plan of all politicians currently in Ottawa… And every years he hangs on to his seat in Parliament increases the size of his taxpayers funded pension.

    Poilievre is a career politician who used the system to climb to his current position and who is entirely dependent on the system for his own survival… Reason why he did not resign after losing his seat in the last election as a normal Leader would have and the reason why he did not resign his post as Conservative Leader after a shocking defeat as others have before him.

    Poilievre hangs on to his Parliament seat not for you but for himself, for money and for fattening his already crazy pension.

    Hoping Poilievre is going to change the system that gave him all he owns is like wishing for money to grow on trees.

    Poilievre is the system…
