Utterly refuses to step down when all the signs are there, even Justin Trudeau took the hint.
Lose the election, lost his seat, low voter popularity, MPs defecting and a rigged leadership review. Just cannot reflect on his own accountability, everyone else is at fault.
Even when it became a political liability he refuses to get his security clearance, just cannot pivot on his message of Liberals bad.
P. P. even called out Prime Minister Mark Carney as being uneducated on finance.......
"Education: BA Economics (Harvard, 1988); MPhil & DPhil Economics (Oxford, 1993/1995).
Private sector: 13 years at Goldman Sachs (Boston, London, NYC, Tokyo, Toronto); roles included co-head sovereign risk, executive director emerging debt, managing director investment banking; worked on South Africa bonds and 1998 Russia crisis.
Bank of Canada: Deputy Governor (2003–04, 2007–08); Governor (2008–13); navigated 2008–09 financial crisis with early rate cuts and forward guidance; Canada recovered faster than most G7 peers.
Senior roles: Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Finance (Canada, 2004–07); Chairman, Financial Stability Board (2011–18) – helped shape post-crisis global banking rules (e.g., Basel III).
Bank of England: Governor (2013–20); first non-Briton in the role; managed UK economy through Brexit referendum and aftermath; expanded central bank powers.
Other: UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance (2020+); focus on sustainable finance and green economy."
Pierre Poilievre is a man who will say or do anything to stay in power as the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and I just shudder at the thought of what he would do to keep the office of Prime Minister he he had the chance.
Canada dodged a bullet.

This is Canada's national embarrassment for any Americans wondering who he is.
As long as he stays their leader the Cons will never be elected only downside to that is we get to hear his bull shit.

He's so unlikeable but just like the saying goes "don't interrupt them when they harm themselves" I'm really surprised they cling to this weasel

Like Trump, he knows his stupid base will believe anything, so why bother trying to be credible

PP is a little bitch

Surprised Trump doesnt make up some position for him.

He has never worked a real job in his life either. He got out of school and went right into politics. He has zero real world experience and probably wouldn't survive the private sector so he clings stupidly to his attempt to stay in power.

Hold up - he was a paper boy at one time. /s

I bet his parents did the route for him.

As I see it, PP couldn't change his tune. HIs whole pre-election rhetoric was 'Fuck Trudeau', which, as a Liberal supporter, I agree had some merit. Then when Trudeau stepped down, ahead of the election, PP made it clear that he was ready to do business with Trump. Canada fucking flipped. He still has significant western support, but that's more based on historic anti-Ottawa interference than actual support for their leader who pushed a beloved MP out of their seat so he could take it instead.

The "Fuck Carney" stickers came out real fast after the election. He was condemned on day one. Some take politics more seriously than any religion.

I haven't seen any, but I live in Montreal, so didn't see much in the Fuck Trudeau stuff anyway (except on Canada day when small-dick energy douchebags from Ontario drive around in lifted trucks mounted with an abundance of Canadian flags drive around Western Quebec for the day).

On the bright side - he's so tightly and furiously clamped around the neck of Canada's conservative movement that they can barely mount an effective political campaign
With 'friends' like him - who needs enemies?
