    Hey PP? How’s that Security Clearance going? Tired of your excuses. Carney went through the process. Why won’t you??

      He had to run in a safe seat and yet as party leader won less of the percentage of the vote (80.9%) compared to Damien Kurek’s high (82.8%)

        In a riding where a molted grape that was to be considered a conservative would have won at least 80% of the vote.

        Speaks to the quality of the electorate. If the people of Rural Alberta want to be listened to, taken seriously, and not treated like hicks, maybe they should get out of their cousins bed and quit acting like they are serious about it. Because they are people that can’t be taken seriously…

    Would that be the same TFW program that he voted to expand when he was part of Harper’s government?

    Bloody hypocritical populist.

      The very same. They needed their exploitable work force, but now they are an easy target for the racists. So it’s exploit people who have little recourse.

        It’s also a win/win target for him. If the government did eliminated the TFW program, there’d be a wave of fear over wages and an endless stream of attacks funded by employers. If they didn’t, then there’s a bunch of brown people taking good ol’ Canadian jerbs!

    PP is a supporter of the TFW program and has been for years. God I hate this slimy weasel so much. He is everything wrong with modern politics compressed into a single person.

      Been doing these Conservative ideology vs Conservatives.

      For this one is that a large part of the TFW program abused to exploit people for financial gains. e.i. Capitalism. Out of the things Conservatives would actually give a committed answer to economically is that they want more capitalism.

      Not sure why they believe Pierre would be a improvement for this.

    Dude is desperately trying to find any conservative adjacent position that Carney won’t beat him to the punch on. How this move translates likes and tweets to dollars and votes is beyond me.

    And yet, almost 100% of Orchardists and Farmers have and will continue to vote for him, despite the entire industry absolutely requiring foreign workers in order to exist.

    I wonder how long it would take for those people to hit the FO part of FAFO, if this were to ever pass?

        About the same point that the Americans figured it out. Some of them haven’t yet.

        MAGA farmers voted that shit in because they thought all the bad shit would happen to someone else.

        Problem is, Fascism/Authoritarianism doesn’t give a shit who it hurts, only that the ultra-wealthy benefit.

        And so, all working class voters must be hurt, even those who voted the Fascists/Authoritarianists into power.
