Should he lose, his political career would be over.
That’s a full-chub, full-mast outcome if I ever heard of one.
Tellingly, Poilievre blamed that loss in Carleton on being too honest
LOL He lost because we had a candidate that actually gives a shit about our riding, and is not human trash.
There is another potential problem for Poilievre. Critchley is right. Parachute candidates always face a potential backlash when they drop into ridings because they have lost their own seats. That’s because there is something fundamentally opportunistic and unfair about replacing a successful local candidate with an unsuccessful national one. Does Poilievre care about the riding or, as Critchley believes, is he just using it as the safest way to become an MP before Parliament is recalled?
This is a great point I’m surprised hasn’t been talked about more. Pierre is running on a party-over-country campaign.
Also even if he does succeed, he’ll probably never outlive the “Parachute Pierre” nickname for the rest of his career.
He even stole this poor kitty’s look.
Also even if he does succeed, he’ll probably never outlive the “Smöl Parachute PP” nickname for the rest of his career.
Yup, to me he is creepy little pp.
He won’t show up for the local debate either I heard. I would very much vote for somebody local if I were in that riding. Especially when he bumps somebody who got elected and then doesn’t care enough to show up.
This local article and interview with the candidate who defeated Poilievre includes a photo of Poilievre’s former constituency office in his Carleton riding.
One has to wonder about the lack of signage on the actual office and apparent challenges in accessibility.
The riding he’s running in would elect an aardvark if it was labeled “conservative”. Who’s on the ballot or what they stand for have little impact. The question is if it will be with 80 percent, or “just” 70.
Edit: I need to revise this since it’s going to be write-ins. It holds true if writing “conservative” will count, but actually writing Pierre Poilievre would sorely test most voters.
“Military vet” with a picture of a horse, I thought it was a veterinarian at first 🤷
Maybe the horse should run against PP as well 🤔
Yes, please.
