        I think this used to be the case but there’s been some really hateful rhetorics coming from the conservative side recently. Things like life in prison without parole for drug users. Yikes.

          Right, maybe this was true of the PCs before the merger with the Reform Party, but the creature resulting from that merger takes its cues from American conservatism.

      Don’t worry. If he loses his seat that would be icing on the cake. The cons cannot turn this around now. I will personally jump for joy if he loses his seat but even if he doesn’t, I will also LOVE seeing the knives out for PP by his own party when he loses.

      PP is richer than Carney!! He’s a property owner with a net worth of 25 million AND he owns shares in Brookfield. PP is a steaming shitpile hypocrite maga.

    If little PP loses his seat I will laugh my ass off. Fuck him the disingenuous fuck. I watch news all day I get disgusted when he talks. I would love the opportunity to vote for PC (because having multiple viable parties is important in a healthy democracy) but that ain’t happening with MAGA running under the hood and a leader who won’t distance himself from them.

      This is by far the most important thing to remember. Don’t forget to vote. Hell, since you’re reading this, you’ve probably already decided who you’re voting for (Not PP, but for the only guy who stands a chance to beating him). Go vote early so you don’t forget. Or register for mail-in votes.

      And don’t forget to encourage those you know to vote. Hell, go together to vote as a group. The more people vote, the more likely PP will lose, because almost all the seats he has a decent chance of winning come from the rural prairies, and they live so far apart, it’s impossible for them to coordinate in person.

      I’m not a native anglophone even though I’m pretty fluent. But I don’t know how to pronounce “kowtow”.

      Does it sound like “cow-cow” or more like “cow-toe”?

        Both halves rhyme with cow. It’s a Chinese (iirc?) word used in most of the east Asia to refer to deep bows or prostration used as a sign of deep respect (or more often a deep apology in a modern context) but in the west it has much more of an insulting use to imply someone is an ass-kisser.

      Trust me, there are a LOT of pp diehards in the rural areas. But there is a lot of new construction happening in the riding that is changing the dynamic.

        Turns out that the intensification of the suburb sprawl for the Ottawa valley is going to come back to bite them in the ass.
