It was actually so nice. I walked into work and nobody was talking politics because it didn't feel like the world was ending.
For any conservatives, I'm sorry. I work and am highly involved with vulnerable people, and I vote to protect them as best I can. A vote for PP would not have been a vote to protect the most vulnerable I know, which in my eyes is what a society is meant to do.
Don't be sorry, also they can't hear you here
Same. I also work with vulnerable people and a vote for PP is a vote for many of my peeps at work to be tazered in a jail bathroom for something they cannot afford to medicate (such as it is in “healthcare is a big business” USA).
I wouldn't say WON, but bullets were dodged for sure. Phew!
( But obviously we need to work on basic education )
Huzzah!! Congratulations and Thank YOU!!
I keep seeing this, but does anybody have the link? I don't get why the 2nd tweet looks doctored.
The second one I think looks that way because they searched for the specific phrasing from the one tweet but enough of the same words were used in the second tweet, he had just reworded it slightly. Thats why some of it is bold and some of it isn’t.
In the real world, if you don't do your job you lose it.
In Trudeau's world, you get a big fat ArriveScam bonus.

In the real world, people who don’t do their jobs get fired.
In Trudeau’s world, they get bonuses.

So WHY does he still get paid our tax dollars to do nothing
That's a great question and the answer is: he shouldn't be drawing on tax funds. He cannot hold the position of leader of the opposition unless he has a seat, and I can't find any provision for unelected party members in here.
An MP in a conservative stronghold has to resign and then he can run there in a byelection to get back into the House of Commons. The timing of the byelection is determined by Prime Minister Carney though, so he could very well be put until 2026.
That would be so funny, and imagine if he lost it again?
did you mean fine wine because it goes down pretttttty smooth
Any chance he might self-reflect on this? I doubt it.
I doubt it. His belief system is fucked beyond belief on multiple levels. Not impossible to deprogram but it's gonna take a lot of work. He's like the right wing, Schapiro-watching, Jordan Peterson-idolizing, teenage edgelord that got paid for it for over 20 years and is now 45.
maybe, after a few years selling shoes at canadian tire or something.
Lifetime pension for MP after two terms.
At retirement age
He’s maxed out at a 20k per month pension.
How could someone even survive on that?!
(/s)
Apparently he gets a 10% reduction if he takes it at 55 instead of 65 but I’m sure you could skimp and save a bit to make that work.
That he gets at 65
He'll still enjoy licking the boot.
I wonder who told him about the real world? Perhaps he'll have time to go out and discover it now.
He can retire on a full federal pension, the only way it would get higher would have been if his party won last night. He has not, and will not, need to acquaint himself with the real world.
I hate this fact so much. He’s been literally USELESS to Canada.
And then he said he was gonna stay on as the opposition -- even though he can't sit in parliament right now.
Well, he can't quit..he doesn't have any work experience to get another job elsewhere.
Well, the voters did fire him.
Now it's up to his party to do the same, as they have done with so many other former leaders who lost.
Do they even have a viable leader to replace little pp? Not that he was much of a leader, but not exactly a party with any members that stand out as leadership material.
Charest was the viable alternative last time and he came from outside the party. Carney came from outside politics as well.
If they do a leadership race someone will be there to fill the void, possibly someone who will pull the party back towards a progressive conservatives agenda since the message was pretty clear, Canada wanted a fiscal conservatives but not a social conservatives.
Eh, the world has a way of producing people like that when there's a niche for them (read: ignorant, bigoted and above all struggling people for them to exploit).
Oh do you guys also have that thing where like 90% of your government only shows up to work a few days out of the year but collect paychecks for all 365 days?
Yeah, terrible look nowadays.
He wasn't complaining, he was celebrating.
When kissing your reflection in the mirror, you can only kiss yourself on the lips
I’m looking forward to Singh’s next shots fired at PP. preferably asking him when he’s stepping down as the party leader such as any respectable person should do if they lose in their own riding.
Singh stepped down, he's gone.
I think that is the point being made
OK, now I see it. That might have been a bit subtle for me after work.
