@brandyblueowl @NospinwithDave @jamiljivani The bizarre thing is that MR. Saltwater/Monsieur Eau De Salée seems to think that, were it not for the defections, Poilievre would have brought down Carney next week. The truth is, Carney already effectively had a working majority and would have had one without the defections.

@KenLeft @NospinwithDave @jamiljivani I'm totally with you Ken. Too bad Saltwater Dave doesn't get it he seems more reasonable than most Cons. There is no propaganda machine in the libs, BQ or NDP that wants him to go. None of us want an election it would be a waste of money especially for Canadians and the Cons.

@JordonRowse @mario4thenorth I don't know- maybe you could offer policies that helped them?
English

@mario4thenorth Pierre can't win and neither can any conservative as we past the tipping point of voters coming into the country with PR. We are short numbers. The data doesn't lie as newcomers vote liberal 76% of the time. How can we ever overcome that?
English

@brandyblueowl @NospinwithDave @jamiljivani Now that the Liberals have a double-digit lead in the polls, you can vote NDP again.
English

@NospinwithDave @KenLeft @jamiljivani I don't want him gone. I'm an NDP turned liberal to keep him out of the PM seat as do the rest of the NDP and cons. that joined the Liberals. As long as he stays Liberals stay in power. You have no one to replace him. Clean out your own shit then we can talk about it.
English

@Julie11033467 @LucifersTweetz That AI looks nothing like him, and the man would never go out in public with 3 weeks' worth of stubble- and it doesn't matter that he donated his salary, since he charges the Secret Service massively inflated room rates to stay in his hotels guarding him.
English

@LucifersTweetz But he's your president!
He's a billionaire without taking his presidential pay.
He filed Chapter 11, which is paying your debt back.
Lawfare caused his felonies and you know it.

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani It's not MY propaganda machine. He's mainly getting pressure to stand down from people in his own party.
Let me try this some other way- why do you think he SHOULD stay on as leader when the polls make it look as if he'd be doomed to a landslide defeat in a snap election?
English

@KenLeft @jamiljivani That’s what I don’t understand
If he’s so weak why is your propaganda machine pushing him to resign?
English

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani If there's a push, it's from regular party members. Why would the Liberals push to remove an opposition leader who now has his party 11-15 points behind them, and whose continued tenure in the job would cost his party 30-50 seats, or possibly more, at the next election?
English

@KenLeft @jamiljivani Dude are you not watching the news or seeing it all over social media ?
English

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani (Cont'd) and there is no push from non-Conservative for Poilievre to be removed as leader, and there's no reason to assume that whoever replaced him as Con leader if he did go would do worse than he did at the polls.
English

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani There wasn't going to be a snap election even if the Con MPs hadn't crossed the floor- The Liberals have always been certain to go into territory on Monday night, even without the fact that the BQ/NDP/Greens aren't going to bring Carney down anytime soon. (Cont'd)
English

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani Again, the Liberals are 11-15 points ahead, so they almost certainly would get a majority if a snap election were called. And in any case, you know that the BQ, the NDP and the Greens would not vote to bring down the government, so what have you got to feel cheated out OF?
English

@KenLeft @jamiljivani Why do you guys want him gone so bad if he’s weak ? You’d think you’d want him to remain so you coukd get a super majority
You can’t win a majority so your’re buying MP’s
English

@Annans4g (cont'd) All he has done since the election is turn voters against his part- support for the CBC has fallen 10-12 points since '25. He knows he'd lose badly in a snap election, yet refuses to stop pushing for one. You have to wonder what the man is thinking in doing that.
English

@Annans4g Spare us- the man has never been remotely close to a victim. All he is is someone who lost what should have been an unlosable election, losing his own seat because his own constituents had turned against him- and has been throwing a perpetual tantrum ever since. (cont'd)
English

How strong does a person have to be to stand up against all these attacks and hardships?

English

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani Fair enough. All I was doing was pointing out political reality. Would you be willing to explain why you still seem to want a new federal election when they just had one last year, & the polls show that support for your party has dropped a lot since then?
English

@KenLeft @jamiljivani And thanks for having a chat and not becoming completely unhinged because we don’t agree 👍. We need more of that in this country
English

@NospinwithDave @davidhindsmith @jamiljivani The unions aren't behind him and no good can come to working-class people from weakening unions. The only reason working-class Canadians have anything good in their material lives is the strength they've shown as a class- the bosses do nothing for workers unless forced.
English

@KenLeft @davidhindsmith @jamiljivani Who’s doing the cutting right now ?
Labour laws ? Funny how all the trade unions and the working class is behind Pierre eh.
Catch up with the times this isn’t the conservatives of years past
English

@NospinwithDave @davidhindsmith @jamiljivani Also- why are you a Conservative in the Maritimes? Right-wing governments have been horrible for your part of Canada.
English

@davidhindsmith @jamiljivani The only true Canadian leader fighting for Canada 🇨🇦
English

@NospinwithDave @jamiljivani Why? He's got your party 11-15 points behind in the polls and if you DID manage to force an early election- which you won't, because neither the BQ nor the NDP is ready for an early election- your party would lose in a landslide. Face it- rage politics has failed in Canada.
English

@jamiljivani If the party stabs Pierre in the back you can kiss the party good bye! Myself and safe to say millions of conservatives will be walking out with him!
English

@DrJacobsRad The Liberals were already certain to gain a majority in Monday's by-elections, and there was an election last year in which they had almost half the seats, & the smaller opposition parties weren't ready for an early election and would never have voted for one.
English

Canada is in a quiet democratic crisis.
With 5 MPs crossing the floor to join the Liberals, the will of Canadian voters is being undermined by Carney's desire for a majority and the perfidious nature of those enabling him.
For our democracy to work, Canadians must be able to trust it. Floor crossing undermines that trust.

@kopek_riley @dailybritainonx Sorry, no- it was 2016. The Indyref was in 2014. THAT is why Scots were told that voting for independence meant ending up outside the EU.
