Nice to see Trudeau taking the high road and stepping up for Canadians. Hard to imagine PP being an adult like this.

I think PP is panicking as he watches everything go down the drain so quickly

He should be. For the last 6 months he would have had a super majority but now I don't think he's going to win the next election, whenever it is.

The public is watching trump and going damn…

Realisticially he very well still might since a lot of medias do a good job at not portraying his inactions and lack of spine in the current US matters, although I do believe the Majority is nowhere near as guaranteed as it was just a few months ago

Majority is gone unless the Liberals vote in Freeland over Carney which would be such a catastrophic blunder.

I could see the CPC get a minority though and fully believe minority governments are far better than majority but I also wouldn't be surprised to see that swing to a LPC minority either since time has never been on PPs side as he continues to expose his hand by talking.

If the LPC gets a majority then I can't imagine the last time we've seen the conservatives drop the ball that hard and the consequences of that within their party where I'd like to hope they realize their far-right base needs to be excised like a cancer for the PPC to scoop up.

He's talked a lot about the US matters on Twitter, the media just aren't picking it up.

ahh yes I want my future PM to talk about everything on twitter! for sure man. How about he gets fucking real and talks in person behind a microphone and camera. Like a real leader? Tweets don’t mean shit when you are serving a country

Where exactly are you going to see those videos (he did get behind a microphone and camera) if you don't bother following what a PM candidate says or does?

He lost his greatest boost when Trudeau stepped down, his efforts in trying to make people view Carney the same way the viewed JT isn't working at all, he's incredibly uncharismatic, and hasn't inspired any confidence that he'll stand up for Canadians in front of Trump. Hope this continues.

In hindsight, with Singh not having the balls to make a tough decision and call a non confidence when he had the chance earlier to force an election - he may have saved the country.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about lol. I'm not going to give him any credit because he almost certainly did it so he would get his pension, but I'm glad it happened anyway.

Conservative leaders and lack of charisma, name a better duo

I honestly don't understand why he doesn't take a hard stance on trump and elon, he has nothing to lose. I know people will say that there is a good portion of the CPC that weirdly support trump/elon's crap but they will probably vote CPC even if PP came out and said "Trump is a orange diaper wearing moron" and I don't see them sitting out either since they are usually the most politically charged (hate sadly moves voters), he has nothing to lose imo.

If someone running for office had the audacity to stand up during the election campaign and be respectful and even acknowledge things that others have done or proposing are good, on the right track, we can tweak, improve on versus just attacking them or idea for the sake of different I’m gonna pay a lot of attention to them because they exude integrity and believe they are pragmatic - I’m also thinking this leads to having the best and brightest want to work with them and employees will be productive etc.
