@mcfargey @RealAlbanianPat PP is an absolute fucking gift who keeps on giving! Why would the Liberals ever want to see him removed?? I guess we can all agree he really should stay on.

@RealAlbanianPat Wow. Who’s removing him??
I’m always amazed at how quickly people fall into the liberals trap.
Who do you think is orchestrating this?
The liberals want to eliminate Poilievre at any cost.
Posts like this are exactly what they want.
Help them sow their seeds of dissent.

If Pierre Poilievre is removed the Conservative Party will collapse breakup within a month and we are going back to the 90s

@CounterTyrannyX @Copernicus2013 @bonchieredstate @redsteeze Yeah I know, the US is the savior of the world. Doing a bang up job so far.🙄 The world would be a safer place if your President actually focused on America First like he ran on.

No it spends what it spends as part of foreign policy for strategic long-term benefit of Free Republics.
EU does not care, it will willingly turn itself into communist hellholes, so long as their voters keep voting for more healthcare, benefits, welfare handouts, because they're all greedy money-lovers.
English
Yeah, I don't really feel like funding 65% of NATO's military strength anymore for these people.
They side with Russia when it's convenient, they buy Russian energy, and they do nothing but virtue signal from the sidelines.
So let them live in the world they've built.

The leaders of these countries have released a joint statement on the situation in Iran which includes a call to end the war. France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, Romania, Denmark, Iceland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Slovakia, Greece, Spain, Norway, Finland, Japan, along with the European Union. “We welcome the two-week ceasefire concluded between the United States and Iran today. We thank Pakistan and all partners involved for facilitating this important agreement. The goal must now be to negotiate a swift and lasting end to the war within the coming days. This can only be achieved through diplomatic means. We strongly encourage quick progress towards a substantive negotiated settlement. This will be crucial to protect the civilian population of Iran and ensure security in the region. It can avert a severe global energy crisis. We support these diplomatic efforts. To this end, we are in close contact with the United States and other partners. We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon. Our Governments will contribute to ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.” Signed By: Emmanuel Macron — France Giorgia Meloni — Italy Friedrich Merz — Germany Keir Starmer — United Kingdom Mark Carney — Canada Nicusor Dan — Romania Mette Frederiksen — Denmark Bjarni Benediktsson Frostadóttir — Iceland Rob Jetten — Netherlands Ulf Kristersson — Sweden Michal Šimečka — Slovakia Kyriakos Mitsotakis — Greece Pedro Sánchez — Spain Jonas Gahr Støre — Norway Alexander Stubb — Finland Sanae Takaichi — Japan Ursula von der Leyen — European Commission (EU) Antonio Costa — European Council (EU)

@JJ_McCullough Because the Cons are doing this to themselves. They are deserting a leader they despise. They warned their party last Fall this would happen, there would be many more to follow, if they didn't fix their leadership problem. This isn't Carney's problem to fix.
English
The one thing I don’t understand, however, is why Carney wants to cobble together a razor-thin majority government through a bunch of Conservative floor-crossings instead of just calling a snap election he’d surely win.
English
@CounterTyrannyX @Copernicus2013 @bonchieredstate @redsteeze And will the US dismantle its military if it leaves NATO? It spends what it spends as part of domestic policy.
English
English
@KristinRaworth Then PP shouldn't have voted against the bill brought to the floor that would have triggered a by-election if a member crossed the floor. Whoops!
English
Call me old fashioned but I think you should get a mandate for a majority government from Canadians voters, not floor crossing.

@jamiljivani Conservative MPs not wanting to be Conservatives anymore because these Conservatives MPs don’t like their Conservative leader is… *checks notes*… a Liberal problem. 😆🤷🏻♂️🇨🇦
English
@jamiljivani This many floor crossers exposes the collapse in faith in their leadership under Poilievre. Read the room...and the warning the first few who did it last Fall gave their party, prior to the January leadership convention. You didn't listen and you now reap what you sew.
English
Floor-crossers expose the Liberal Party's real agenda.

@TMIWITW @CyfIuthrin @bonchieredstate Doesn't change the fact Trump allowed them to restart their nuclear program. Art of the Deal!
English
@trlaughlin @CyfIuthrin @bonchieredstate Yeah, shoulda kept sending the mullah pallets of cash. 🙄
Shut up.
English
@trlaughlin @Copernicus2013 @bonchieredstate @redsteeze No, it's only Eastern Europe that has started doing more than 3% recent times, and their economies are much smaller anyway.

I haven’t seen them.
If you are going to quote pollsters, I need to know who they are.
Or did CBC tell you to say that?
English
I'm much more interested in asking why so many Conservatives Party MPs are crossing the floor than I am the fact that the Liberals managed to poach them.

@CyfIuthrin @bonchieredstate @TMIWITW I guess Trump shouldn't have canceled the nuclear deal with Iran in his first term.
English
@bonchieredstate @TMIWITW They seem unbothered by the fact Iran had nuclear capable missiles that could reach half of Europe. And lied about it.
Or that once Iran was nuclear, they could shut down oil from the straight of Hormuz whenever they wanted without consequences.
English
@CounterTyrannyX @Copernicus2013 @bonchieredstate @redsteeze Actually it doesn't. At 3.22% of its GDP, the US is ranked 6th in military spending vs other NATO countries.
English
@Copernicus2013 @bonchieredstate @redsteeze They're paying for the bureaucracy of NATO.
NATO's power is the US, in terms of MILITARY spending, which the US does more than any other country.
English
America could be affordable again if we:
- No longer have to pay for illegal immigrants to go to the doctor.
- No longer have to pay for illegal immigrants to get an education.
- No longer have to pay for illegal immigrants to be on welfare.
- No longer have to pay for illegal immigrants’ housing.
Plain and simple.

@canada_kat_ @DrJacobsRad 🎯 this. Cons can't handle the truth and it has become their undoing.
English
Total BS - Look within the party for the party's issues. The 5 MP's crossed the aisle because they have no confidence in their leader.
The Conservatives are in quite a crisis. They know they will lose miserably if an election were called now and it's all on their leader. Crossing the aisle has nothing to do with Carney and "perfidious nature of enablers".
I feel the Conservative convention was rigged for PP to win and was not a true representation of the will of PC party members - not even close. When the convention occurred Pierre Poiliviere was already in deep water and had virtually no chance of being elected Prime Minister. Conservtives had the opportunity to make a change and blew it with, of all things - politics!
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.

@Mattissimo07 @j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre The MPs who either crossed the floor or quit last fall did. The 2700 hand picked voters at the Con convention in January didn't listen. Now you have the consequences.
English
@j_soghigian @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre If so, why wouldn't she have said so in her statement? If I quit my job cause my boss is a dick, I'd tell people.
English
Everyone keeps arguing with my take on floor crossing. You say you vote for the person because of their party — you want their leader as PM and believe you share the same values.
Yet when I point out that @PierrePoilievre voted against a bill that would have forced floor-crossers to face a by-election (Bill C-306 in 2012), the responses go silent.
If you truly believe MPs should stay loyal to the voters who elected them under a specific party banner, how does supporting a leader who opposed making defectors answer to their constituents square with that?
Make it make sense.
English
@Mattissimo07 @Reil76 @PierrePoilievre So it seems Conservative MPs can't be trusted then. Good reason not to vote for them.
English
@Reil76 @PierrePoilievre It's poaching that's the issue here. If said MPs did it out of conscience, fine. I don't like it, but fine.
This isn't acts of conscience. This is bribery/coercion.

@NadavPollak @sfrantzman @JasonMBrodsky What good would that do when Bibi wants perpetual war to stay in power? The Lebanese would be sitting ducks...much like they are now.
English
@sfrantzman @JasonMBrodsky Seth you completely misunderstood my post.
Of course Lebanese deserve peace and quiet and Israel’s strategy is all wrong.
My criticism was about the hypocrisy of those that “care about Lebanon”. If you care about Lebanon you should help it disarm Hezbollah
English
Everybody suddenly cares about Lebanon when it’s Israel that is bombing the country.
No one cared about Lebanon when Hezbollah took the country hostage and dragged it to war one time after another. No one cared when Hezbollah assassinated Lebanese people that tried to stand up against them.
No one cared when Hezbollah prevented the Lebanese military from doing its job to secure the country.
Let’s see if when the dust settles and the war ends those that “care about Lebanon” will continue to care. Such a tragedy
