Comment on Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse

Oddly enough I wouldn’t even call it a collapse.

Conservatives walked away with far more seats than they did in 2021.

Yes…it’s a collapse from what they were projected to win before JT stepped down. But more than anything it’s shown that it isn’t necessarily the Cons that we have a problem with, it’s the “Trump-Style” Conservatism that Poppinfresh tried to inject into the narrative. Rhetoric, slogans, hateful dogma, gaslighting the voters to think that everything is broken and that “they’re” the only ones who can fix it, etc…

It’s not a surprise that as soon as JT stepped down voters said “Oh thank god” because they could finally stop holding their nose and not have to vote for the one guy that they hated slightly less than Trudeau.

If Conservatives don’t oust him as leader after it’s plain as day that HE is the hated one, not them, then they’re stupid.
