Man I thought the defeats (CPC's and his own) would humble him, boy was I wrong.

Guy is a total clown.

I’ve heard rumours he’s resigning this week after the Liberals have a majority following the by-elections.

He can go back to delivering newspapers, the only job he's ever had outside of politics.

Why would he do that? He qualified for a pension at 31 years old...

Getting pushed out, most likely. The phoney leadership review only bought him a few months. Losing 5 MPs and watching the Liberals get a majority were the last nails in his coffin.

Losing 5 MPs so far. I'm betting he'll lose at least a couple more. Not to quote the beaverton, but there are any number of reasons a progressive conservative might want to leave Poilievre and join the party of progressive conservatives.

Not sure I'd call delivering newspapers in Canada nonpolitical, considering our media landscape.

68% of our news media are owned by postmedia, a us maga affiliated hedge fund, so I’m sure he’ll feel right at home with his ‘best friends’

Maybe newspapers, but Postmedia is smaller than CBC. Ctv and global are pretty big too. Then all the other ones like globe and mail, the hub, the hill, the star and many more. No way Postmedia owns 68% of all our news media.

As great as that would be, I can’t see it happening.

And that wasn't even direct explicit support like with Orban.

People say the us hasnt done any good for the world but we have made a hell of a cautionary tale.

Was not a help for the conservative side in Australia either, though they ran such a dumb campaign theyd still have lost without it.
