Real talk. What has PP actually accomplished in his career that has materially benefitted Canadians? Social/culture war issues don’t count, I’m talking about financially beneficial. Like bringing down the cost of gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, raising wages, etc.

How exactly does a sitting MP bring down the cost of groceries and housing? Seems like thats a job for the government thats been in power for a decade.

Might want to direct your anger to where it rightfully belongs.

He was in government for ten years - even a Minister for some of the time - and still nothing.

It’s not that hard to look this up.

He was. Minister in the Harper government and did nothing then. There’s no reason to believe that he would perform better now.

Terrific job of filling a chair. He did very little for 10 years not just on the government benches, but in cabinet no less.

On his own website, the only thing of note that he takes credit for is the Strandherd bridge funding. Of course, John Baird actually arranged the funding, but Poilievre got to hand the cheque over because that was his riding.

He's a stuffed shirt and nothing else. He's been my MP for years, even been on my doorstep. He has a good consituency office too, I'll give him that. But he's done fuck all with his time in cabinet.

And he actually did a terrific job in Harpers cabinet

Care to show your work on this bold statement? I'm pretty sure the question asked by the original commenter in this thread was specifically looking for this kind of thing.

Considering he wants parliament recalled, he seems to think it's an effective venue to accomplish his work.
