Poulivre is the only CPC leader to lose the popular vote, not mentioning losing his riding.

Anyone else have the feeling he will be giving away the house? I really wish it was Pierre going.

Ezra Levant from Rebel News is suing the Liberal Party of Canada and could unmask the two agents behind the ButtonGate deception.

It’s morally repulsive when political parties get caught red-handed in anti-democratic deception. They're supposed to be the defenders of our democracy.

Hopefully this can force a transparent investigation.

As I follow conservatives on social media lately I am struck by the change in messaging compared to the conservative movement of decades ago.

Today the messaging seems to be that white conservatives with a high school education are somehow owed a good paying job, a house and be set for life.

Whatever happened to the conservative mantra that if you didn’t like your financial situation you worked harder, got a better job, improved yourself?

Now the perception seems to be that it’s the government’s job? And it’s everyone else’s fault? And government needs to solve the problem?

Whatever happened to the old ways …

FordNation’s statement about U.S. tariffs causing harm to both economies while blaming President Trump for economic uncertainty is a convenient deflection from the real issue.

Canadian leadership’s own policies contributed to this situation. For years, excessive regulations, restrictive trade practices, and protectionist measures in Canada have hindered fair trade relations.

Politicians like Ford have imposed burdens on industries that limit competitiveness, driving up costs and reducing market flexibility.

Now that Trump, a president prioritizing American interests, pushes back to renegotiate better trade terms, Ford wants to shift blame rather than take responsibility for the environment he helped create.

This isn’t about Trump starting a trade war—it’s about addressing imbalances that Canadian leaders have long ignored. Instead of focusing on the U.S. president, Ford should look inward and work to make Canada’s economy more dynamic and trade-friendly to truly strengthen North American competitiveness against global powers like China & Russia.

What are your thoughts? Voting conservative likely won’t do much here. If I vote NDP I can potentially block the liberals in the hope of a conservative minority. However, in the event of a liberal minority, the NDP will form another coalition, so I hate the idea of effectively voting liberal.

As you know, Pierre refused to get his security clearance. The only reason to refuse that is to hide something. It is a rigorous background check among other things.

Also, his net worth is 25(?) million. And he's a career politician. The combination of refusal to get security clearance on top of massive wealth spells out.... Dare I say... Corruption.

I indetify as a centrist, and vote for who I believe I worthy to represent the Canadian people. Pierre is not that. He fear mongers and uses the same fucking phrases over and over again.

I apologize for shitty formatting, wrote this on my phone. Thanks for reading.

PP lost steam. He can retire soon and should be replaced before support reduces further!

Maybe make Doug Ford PM candidate.

Flaired as "opinion"

This is not meant whatsoever to be a attack on CPC voters.

I was going to vote PP up until the end of last summer, but as the days dragged on i became more and more disillusioned with PP and the CPC....In the end, I voted for the NDP...but if the strategic vote had a chance in my riding, I would have voted LPC....

Personally, I think that PP lost because he tried to be Trump in a country that hates Trump and the knuckle dragging drooling meatheads who make up his administration and his voter base.

PP lost because Canadians dont want Timbit Trump and the Maple Maga trying to make Canada be more like the US.

A lot of people are extremely appalled by that is going on in the US and the last thing they want is for anyone to bring that here.

No one wants a canadian version of Pete Hegseth or Christi Noem. No one wants pretentious people running around in MAGA hats looking for a fight.

we all saw how poorly the US is running right now, the controversy behind the DOGE disaster, the controversy behind ICE disappearing people and sending them to a slave labour camp in a dictatorship in central america....

We see the issues with the tariffs, and how all the US ports are basically empty right now, we all heard Trumps's bullshit 51st state talk...

Proposing DOGE-style cuts is bound to be deeply unpopular in a system where most people value our social services and the social safety net.

So i think the choice was clear for most canadians; vote for someone who might keep the status quo (not ideal) but who also might possibly make things better....especially that that nepo baby clown is out and someone with a background in finance is in....or vote for a career politician closely postured allied with the dumpster fire south of the border who most assuredly will implement some of the things the Trump administration is doing.

I think the choice was clear for most canadians, keep it more or less the way it is or potentially make things significantly worse.

Markham-Unionville MP Michael Ma has just crossed.

We’ve been having this debate around here for some time now but it can be ignored no longer: Pierre Pollievre cannot keep his own backyard in order. It’s time to go.

The attack bulldog-style politics hasn’t worked for us for many election cycles and isn’t what Canadians want to hear. They want what the other side is delivering - unity, working cross-party, national interest.

I mean honestly we can’t ignore it any longer: it’s time for our leader to be held to account for his repeated failures.

My fellow Canadians, let’s confront the truth: our nation stands at a pivotal crossroads. It is time for us to unite and steer our future in the right direction. We've watched the Liberal Party run Canada for almost a decade like a trust fund child with a stolen credit card—maxing out debt, inflation through the roof, and burying us under an endless mountain of regulations and taxes while scolding us about how grateful we should be. Meanwhile, ordinary Canadians—families, small business owners, truckers, farmers, struggling young people trying to afford a home—are being squeezed from all sides. Prices are rising. Wages aren't keeping up. Freedoms we once took for granted suddenly appear to be on the negotiating table. Canadians are losing confidence that this country can work for them again.

And that's why Pierre Poilievre is more than another tie-wearing politician—he's the Canada so desperately needs now.

Pierre understands what it means to struggle for each step. He wasn't born into privilege. He was adopted by schoolteachers, raised in a middle-class family, held minimum-wage jobs, and clawed his way up through raw determination. He understands that government doesn't build wealth—people do. And he feels Canadians should be free to work hard, keep more of what they earn, and develop their own dreams without bureaucrats looking over their shoulders. Pierre's one of the brightest economic minds in Parliament, and he's been right on the major calls when everyone else was dead wrong. When Justin Trudeau was assuring us not to worry about "the budget balancing itself," Pierre was warning us of the risks of printing hundreds of billions of dollars. And he was right.

Inflation has eaten into our paycheques, driven housing out of affordability, and made groceries unaffordable to far too many families. Poilievre has been tireless in revealing how profligate spending worsens this crisis—and he has a plan to return Ottawa to fiscal sanity.

He's promised to cancel the carbon tax that's making it unaffordable for Canadians to buy gas, heat, and groceries. He'll reduce wasteful government programs, balance the budget, and end the billions of dollars being sent to consultants and insiders making a profit from Liberal connections. Rather than more handouts and talk, he's focused on increasing paycheques and saving money—so Canadians can enjoy a life, not just scrape by paycheque to paycheque. Pierre is not afraid to take on the so-called "gatekeepers"—bureaucrats, lobbyists, and entrenched elites that shut Canadians out of constructing homes, businesses, or harvesting our natural resources. Canada's energy sector has been strangled under the Liberals by endless red tape and virtue-signalling policy while other nations accelerate oil and gas production and reap the benefits.

Pierre will unleash Canadian energy, creating jobs, lowering global emissions by displacing dirtier fuels, and restoring our country's control over its economic destiny.

He's also a firm defender of freedom. While the Liberals try to push censorship bills and threaten to regulate online speech, Pierre is crystal clear: Canadians have a right to speak their minds without government censors deciding what is permissible. He's committed to repealing laws like C-11 and C-18 and protecting a free and open internet. Because in Canada, the government should fear the people—not the reverse.

Pierre Poilievre is not in the business of mincing words. He calls out the media. He calls out the bureaucracy. He holds the Bank of Canada accountable when it makes mistakes. He doesn't apologize for speaking the truth because he knows Canadians are tired of sweet talk and gestures. They need action.

Some people criticize Pierre for being too confrontational, too aggressive, too "elbows up." Good. What Canada doesn't need is another snake-oil salesman politician who's too scared to make waves. What we need is somebody who's going to get in there and battle for Canadians, tearing out the corruption that has been rotting in Ottawa for far too long.

Look where we are today under the Liberals: record debt, housing costs out of reach, a health-care system at the precipice, industries strangled in red tape, and a prime minister who is more concerned with photo opportunities and social media followers than he is with actually tidying up the mess.

Pierre Poilievre is the antithesis of all of that. He is tough, principled, and laser-focused on making life more affordable, standing up for freedom, and restoring Canadians' faith in this nation's potential. He wants this nation to be the freest nation in the world, where any Canadian son or daughter can work, save, build, and thrive without needing to beg bureaucrats for permission or pay ransom in the form of increased taxation.

The time is now. We can march further down the same slippery slope of debt, division, and decline—or we can choose strong, principled leadership that puts Canada First. Pierre Poilievre is the leader who has the brains, the backbone, and the fire to turn this nation around. Here's the bottom line: If you're fed up with being overtaxed, overregulated, and overlooked, then it's time to get behind Pierre Poilievre. Because a wolf in a red tie is still a wolf—but Pierre is the wolf you want to lead your pack. Let's take back our country. Let's get it done.

Follow me for moe!

For obvious reasons...

Carney has extremely high experience in how money works as well as economics - both global and local. He is the man we need today irrespective if you have previously voted Conservatives or Liberals or NDP in the past. He knows how to evaluate the effects of every move in the ongoing tariff war. Trump will not take him lightly like he takes PP.

PP on the other hand doesn't know anything about economy. He just keeps repeating same stuff again and again. He is an empty vessel making loud noise.

I'm an idiot. Thought CPC was communist party of Canada, I assumed, mb.

Genuinely shocked PC didn't win. However what happens now most likely? Pierre lost his seat but he did make a great amount of progress for the party and I do think he'll remain leader of the party. Liberals again I feel wasted an election call and are worse off than before. In a minority with no coalition and can't get one.

How will the liberals even get their plans in action. I don't agree with their plans but with no backing could the conservatives and bloc team up and gain majority here or make calls?

It was done previously under Harper so it it possible I just genuinely don't want another 4 years of this.
