😂 Upvoting is not enough.

[-] Greg@lemmy.ca 145 points 2 years ago

Great but let’s not get complacent. The only Poll that matters is the election

[-] Dearche@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 years ago

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.

Oh now that would be beautiful.

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago

I'm not usually a petty person, but in this particular instance I'm all for ultra levels of pettiness.

I might even throw a party if it happens

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Might have to find some fireworks.

[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 years ago

I hope so, because I hate that whiny piece of shit. All he does is whine.

[-] 7rokhym@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

A guy on TikTok that said PP sounds like Skeletor, and I think he’s right. Also, Skeletor doesn't actually accomplish anything, blames everyone else for his failures and calls everyone names.

Best of Skeletor COMPILATION

Good!

Racist little weasel.

[-] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com 26 points 2 years ago

LOL. Looks like even the people of Carleton are put off by PP and his kowtowing to Trump and ultra-conservative faux populism.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] deeferg@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] CowsLookLikeMaps@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Suburbs tend to be more conservative than cities. I suppose they can also be more progressive than rural ridings though?

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

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"?

[-] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the great explanation! 🩷

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Cow cow.

I'm a native English speaker and I don't know either.

Get fucked traitor

[-] kbal@fedia.io 19 points 2 years ago

Well f...

und the CBC. That would be interesting.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

👏

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago

I don't hugely trust Ekos, but this would be hilarious if it happened.

Frankly I think we need to send a message to politicians that we need substance. We can't survive off attacks, or slogans, or vitriol, or attack dogs.

The reason Carney is doing so well is in part because he's giving something to vote for. Polievre only provides things to vote against.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago

The choice of picture... 😂

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

Whoever picked that picture of Poilievre, 👌

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Looks like his poo poo is getting pee pee'd

[-] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

I’m here for this

[-] thehowlingnorth@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

Neat.

[-] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 years ago

CANADA DOESNT NEED A SMALL pp

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Bien

[-] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago

Canadians hate Trump so much they vote out their own conservatives lol. Amazing.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

It's funny because our conservative party is more left than your democrats

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Andr3w222@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Good.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I really hope he doesn't just lose but gets humiliated. such a disgusting little shit.

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Whether PP loses his seat or not it looks like the CPC will likely lose this election, some predictions are a crushing loss. I can only imagine the party convention to replace PP that will happen after that loss. In my opinion the ultra cons will dig in even deeper and elect someone more extreme but who hides it better. It's inevitable that the CPC (or some form thereof) will eventually get elected.

Big if true.
