He’s a piece of shit. Got voted out last election and then made another politician resign so he could run a “safe” conservative riding in Alberta. He is a garbage person with zero redeeming qualities who has never passed a piece of legislation despite being a lifelong politician never having any other job. He’s a grifter who has sucked off the taxpayer tit his entire career. He lives in taxpayer subsidized housing . He will never be Canadas Prime Minister. We call him PeePee, or Millhouse or just “massive douchebag”.
He got voted out AND lost his riding.
For those in the US, it’s the equivalent of a governor with presidential aspirations blowing a 30 point lead to lose the election, then immediately getting voted out of his governorship, only to then ask Greg Abbott to step down so he can run for governor of Texas while living in DC.
The guy fails big. And with no shame. We should give it a name.
Pp level fail.
More like a senator than a governor
He and Danielle smith need to fuck right off this planet. Send them back to mars
Hard agree.
It’s never a bad day to punch a nazi.
Milhouse is already very punchable, Nazi or not. So sick of seeing him everywhere.
Tiny PP is a piece of shit. I had hoped Canada had cut off its PP earlier this year but Nazis are like hydras
well we did. and then one of his lackeys who did win in some butt fuck no where town decided to step down so PP could have it. I mean the guy not only lost the PM race but also lost his home riding so he quite literally had to move somewhere else and have that place handed to him.
This fucking guy almost made Prime Minister. That’s how close we got to more of this bullshit.
He’s trying to be disruptive in the same way as politicians in the Trump regime, and there’s probably a reason for that. Maybe the same reason he won’t get his security clearance?
He’s dollar store Trump?
It seems that Beaver Trump wants to invoke the tired, old “But socialism in ‘national socialism!’” trick. Surely, the same logic applies to Deutsche Demokratische Republik. I remember coming across Poilievre during the WE Charity scandal. I’m not Canadian but I really like their Fifth Estate documentaries and their coverage on the aforementioned scandal caught my eye. In a separate video, Poilievre grills the two heads of the operation. This seemly obscure Canadian PM suddenly became Canada’s
favoritefavourite politician and possibly the next prime minister. But it soon become clear that Poilievre was just another right-wing, Trump-esque populist.From what I’ve read, Canada DOESN’T designate nazis as terrorists.
Chickens DO come home to roost, “leaders”, INEVITABLY.
Correct the problem!

So if socialism is bad because it’s in the name of Nazis, then democratic republics for the people must be pretty horrible too, going by the DPRK.
While we’re cherry-picking, the Kingdom of Norway is consistently one of the best countries to live in across several metrics. So clearly we should go back to kingdoms, because it’s in the name. Sometimes the old ways are best XD
There’s a much more-fundamental example:
Socialism is when parents shelter, clothe, & feed, their children, who don’t have earnings to shelter/clothe/feed themselves.
Every parent who feeds their babies is demonstrating socialism, no matter what their politics purport to be.
Keep the framing universal, & that guts the gaslighting’s position MUCH more effectively.

Thanks for sharing that idea! I appreciate what you’re getting at: that basic care (food, clothing) embodies the tenet of equality in socialism. However, the example of a parent feeding a child doesn’t quite capture the power-relations, freedoms, and systems aspects of socialism. I don’t think we really want to say a master feeding/clothing their slave or a king feeding/clothing a favorite court jester is really “demonstrating socialism”. Socialism is about how society as a whole arranges ownership, production, and resource distribution (i.e. collective ownership of the means of production). It’s a counter to capitalism.
Parental relationships are, ironically, a special case where limiting freedoms and greater power disparity are justified in most egalitarian systems. We usually don’t give children ownership over the means of production.
Good formal description: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/socialism
PP so pathetic. Lost the election lost his riding lost his mind. And he’s a career politician. So none of this is excusable.
Pathetic.
No, his claims are not “simply” ignorant, as the article claims:
his claims are INTENTIONALLY ignorant, which is malevolent, is disinformation, & is gaslighting-of-fact.
The difference between the 2 states is signficant.
_ /\ _
This guy is human garbage. One of the moat dishonest politicians in Canadian history. If carney hadn’t run, we have had freedland, and she’d have had a historical lose to pp because of her ties to trudeau. We’d be the 51st state already.
I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?
…why?
I think he’s banking on his followers being not-zo smart
“A Canadian politician”
Isn’t this guy the head of their conservative party?
Yup.
After he lost in the election,
Some rando step aside and give him his conservative seat.
Also he didn’t even get the re elected in his own riding
Hey now, it could have been the liberal party. They’ve made the “Whoopsie!” of endorsing fascism before.
Taking over from a US citizen.
Probably not for long
Yes, the leaders of the parties are, in fact, politicians. I’m not seeing what point you’re trying to make, he’s even cited as “the leader of Canada’s official opposition party” farther down the page.
I’m discussing the headline, and yes I’m aware they’re politicians, headlines conventionally refer to people by the most notable thing about them if they can’t get away with directly naming them and people knowing who they’re talking about.
“A Canadian politician” implies some borderline rando rather than the leader of a major opposition party, which is more concerning than the headline implies
You’re reaching, the headline is hardly doing that, and the article certainly isn’t. Even someone unfamiliar with Canadian political parties and their members couldn’t possibly come away with the impression that Poilievre is a “borderline rando” unless they failed to spend 30 seconds reading that 1/4 essay of a blurb.
The headline is doing exactly that. My first reaction was “of course some asshole is, probably a conservative.” And then I clued into the photo and recognized the buffoon. If I wasn’t a Canadian, or didn’t have the picture, or maybe wasn’t good with faces, I would have scrolled by not realizing the idiot in question iis the leader of the Conservative Party.
A responsible headline would have said that. It might as well have said “A random white guy from Canada is openly spreading propaganda.” I mean it’s a true headline right? Not misleading at all.
Again I’m talking about the headline in isolation, not the rest of the article.
The reason it’s important is that if people do read “borderline rando” rather than “leader of a significant party”, there’s a much greater chance they don’t click and get the extra context
Man we had such a nice break from him since the election.
Not on my Facebook feed 😒
Sucks for you to still be on Facebook
Where else would I go to see old people yell about the youth???
I hear that it’s fun to stay at the YMCA 🤷
That’s what you get on a Nazi social media site.
It’s how I talk to my mom. Sorry for having a mother I love?
I used to just call my mom.
He’s a f–king dumbass. Lot’s of us Canadians refer to him as “Piss Pants” or “Pee Pee”.
Thats Little Pee Pee, thank you very much.
Sadly, that doesn’t disqualify him from holding office.
The fact that he can’t get Canadians to vote for him, however does.
