Poilievre rejects severance offered to defeated MPs after losing Ontario riding - The Globe and Mail If a sitting MP is defeated they have a right to Severance. And there is no requirement to pay it back if they seek re-election elsewhere Pierre is entitled to receive $154,850 in Severance because he lost his riding. He is perfectly eligible for that and MPS get that all the time. There's no requirement to repay it if he runs somewhere else. But instead of demanding that he's entitled to his entitlements he's refusing to take it knowing that he doesn't tend to run again and expects to be back in the house and feels it would be inappropriate to keep the money I rather doubt you'd see a liberal doing that

You don't get severance if you don't get severed. PP intends to run again, so he'd have to give it back if he wins a seat. Trudeau didn't run so he's not eligible. May didn't get defeated, so she's not either. Singh's entitled to it, though for a far less amount, and he'd be a fool not to take it and try to run again.\ Nice grumble attempt from a Tory lapdpg though.

You want your country to fail and break up. At least American MAGATS don't want that for theirs. Pathetic.

And so he should if he still wants to be PM.

Trudeau had charisma. Trump has charisma. F*ck charisma, give me boring and competent.

Oh no, a vax-cultist with a IQ under 30 doesn't like me. Whatever shall I do? How does that support your id10tic claim that "people voted against Poilievre because he's a liar and he's untrustworthy", dummy? Are you giving up on that claim now? And now you just proved that you're supporting the BS about Carney being "the guy who helped Martin balance the budget, and the main guy behind Canada's success at averting a recession in '08". He was none of the above. Those were both just Carney lies and false CBC narratives, dumbass. CBC was 100% biased for every day of the last 15 years you nitwit. If you don't know that then you're somehow more stupid than dishonest. Can you even acknowledge that CBC covered up a Carney lie for a few days shy of a month, and waited until after 7M Canadians had already voted to finally tell the truth? F-t4rds like you all across the country were led to believe, by Carney's lies, that "Trump talks about Canada more respectfully when he talks to me than he does on stages and on phone calls with Trudeau, because he never mentioned the 51st state BS on our phone call", but CBC knew the exact opposite was true, and that Trump did talk about that. They just chose to go along with Carney's lie. CBC was actually caught lying along with Carney, but no one was surprised that CBC remained loyal to him. I'm not "Canadian" anymore. Not one bit. I reside here, and I still own a home here, but I am not "Canadian" any more than you're a Jewish muslim. I am 100% against Canada remaining one country. Were you talking about yourself or Carney when you posted that? I honestly don't know.

Well doing better than ever since 1988 anyway. Certainly the best the CPC has ever done After holding the highest the liberals have ever done to a minority government. Thats' pretty good And the liberals didn't actually increase their vote share, they borrowed other party's vote share. I mean kudos to them that was impressive. But those voters are going to go back to their parties. The conservatives ACTUALLY increased their vote shares and voter base. And pulling after the election suggests that they are staying put. So we kept the liberals from winning we'll get another crack soon, and carney will have to live up to his track record which is already beginning to get a bit of a tarnish especially in Quebec. They're not very happy about the king coming. Sorry, but even though they didn't win they did pretty damn good. And they prevented the liberals from winning which means we'll be back in an election within 18 months to 2 years after the NDP gets a new leader. And we'll see how it plays out then Harper lost his first election but held the liberals to a minority, and went on to win the next three

I don't know why you would say the election was unnecessary. Trudeau didn't have a mandate anymore. Carney wasn't elected, until he was.

Which makes you a traitor as well as stoopid.

Keeping the objective numbers in mind I can't quite agree and neither should anyone who can count. 1.2 to 1.5 million $ for unnecessary byelection spent versus ~ 10% "saved"? Ohoh. It surely works out of someone's pocket just not his.

Your extreme bias constantly clouds your judgment.

Hahaha... Showing how much of a propaganda-loving cultist m0r0n you are again. That's not a "fact" at all you effing m0r0n. Are you really that stupid? It is just your own worthless opinion why Carney's party won a minority gov't. Here's a fact: If lying and being untrustworthy had an effect on Canadian voters then they wouldn't have voted for Carney, period, because he got caught on several massive lies during his 3-month run. You can't even name any lies from Poilievre, can you, you snotty little turd... Here's another fact: The main reason Canadians chose Carney is because the CBC told Canadians that Carney was the best guy to lead Canada during this trade war, that's it, and then the CBC covered for Carney's lies about how Trump talked to him during their phone call, just to promote that false narrative. 7M Canadians voted while thinking that Trump spoke more respectfully about Canada while he was talking to Canada, but that was false. Trump treated him like a dog. Do you even care that CBC knew that Carney was lying to Canadians but chose to cover it up? I honestly can't even believe that you'd broach the topic of lying.

Astute is a bit of a stretch, I think. Taking this payment would have made (even more) a laughingstock and hypocrite out of him. This is like praising your child for not scoring on his own net again.

I don't know that and neither do you. The optics would be really bad for someone who still has aspirations for the big job. I'm not judging his integrity, just saying it is also an astute political move. If Carney is as good as his word about expediting a bye election, it won't be long before he is back in the house. We have seen a side of PP since the election was lost that we hadn't seen before. If he had shown it before, perhaps the conservatives wouldn't have lost. If he keeps it up, I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually does become PM.

The unnecessary and bogus election will cost us, Canadian taxpayers over $1 million "Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s bid to regain a seat in Parliament through a byelection could cost taxpayers more than $1 million, according to data from recent races." Put it into perspective, preferably with own brain. So much for "honorable" but it's only a word who cared, right? In fact, we are talking here about a gross disrespect to Canadian taxpayers and democracy itself. Party over the country, but we knew that already small surprise.

Clearly and again, your ability to read and comprehend is tainted. LOL

.. by the way, how much the unnecessary and uncalled for election will cost Canadians simply because the man just couldn't see the door he was pointed to? That's the man. He did that.

The man who won't take no for an answer. Man who has the duty to keep his bum firmly glued to that chair. Just couldn't see the door he's clearly pointed to. CPC on the trek from ridiculous to maga. There's still time (not that much though)

For sure. Right after he's prime minister for a few terms

If wishes were horses....

Good on PP. I'm sure he'll make it up one day as an appointed board director or trustee or on the lecture circuit. It's all good.

They know that Canada is their meal ticket. Separatist Alberta was not likely to feel the same commitment to guilt that the Canadian government does. It might get so bad that they might have to work for a living Honestly there is room for the first nations to negotiate a new deal with Alberta but genuinely moves their people forward.

Well Trump took an oath to uphold the Constitution. My guess is Carney will be a lot more loyal to Canada than Trump has been to the Constitution. But we'll have to wait and see, like we do with any new leader. You want him to fail. I don't because I don't give a crap what party a leader is from as long as they do a good job.

He was born in Ft Smith and grew up in Edmonton. There is no requirement for a Prime Minister to born in Canada. Several have not. Our first two were born in Scotland. As for the rest. So what. My grandkids have two passports because one of their grand fathers was Swiss. Bid deal. People with EU passports have the freedom to live and work where they please in the EU but that doesn't mean they aren't loyal to their own countries or have national pride. All Canadian parliamentarians are required to take an oath of office. Ask all the questions you can make up but don't make up answers you want.

Then they will die in the attempt....it is really that easy....when you have lived with terrorism for that long you do what it takes to live a somewhat normal life...you should vist gaza and israel some time...see for yourself...don't worry Palestinians love Canadians they make good hostages...

I think what I should start doing from now on is just copy and paste this quote of yours, every time decide you need to enter a conversation I'm having with someone else...because you're "following me around". 🙄

Most voting Canadians accept that the Liberals are government. What a great many voting Canadians do not accept is the way the Liberals remain to be government, and wonder why, with the record they have, voters like you and your ilk/spawn support them. It begs the question: Are Liberal voters stupid?

They have to hang their hat on something. Was he disloyal to the countries he worked for before? No. Was he disloyal to the companies he worked for before? No. Therefore he must be disloyal.🙄

Oh Jeez, questioning Carney's loyalty makes for a new low in political discussion. Then again, perhaps not. The same gasbags questioned the patriotism of the Trudeaus....🙄

Sorry, the only retarded things you hear are the voices in your head. And given your posts I'm sure that that is way too much to be writing down on a list, you'd be into a 12-volume novel set at this point. The conservatives swept through the 905 and took a lot of seats. I know that upsets you being a big liberal supporter but that's the way it is. You screwed up some fairly simple math in your FOURTH attempt to look bright and failed horribly. And it's not embarrassing to post a thread on a discussion board Most provinces offer some free mental health services for those who are deeply traumatized by life, you should look into that. LOLOL Your third attempt and you're still managing to look like a doof Pssssst - what's 100 - 50 again?

Canadian MAGATS are a pathetic bunch. Much worse than the Americans because they would sell out their country to the love of someone as bad as Trump.

Who has more skills to deal with a global financial crisis ? One who was Bank Governor under Harper and the UK or a textbook demagogue who puts training wheels on MAGA and tries to ride it across Canada ?

The guy complaining his all in one didn't qualify for Windows 11 and was 'just to old' to learn Linux shit bricks when I upgraded it for him. He just had a CPU that wasn't on the original Windows11 list. He took one look at 11 and "OMG now I have to learn things all over again!" Turns out the guy bought an iMac three ears ago and doesn't use it because it's just too hard...

He was offered plum jobs in other countries including governor of the Bank of England. So what? I worked offshore for several years and paid taxes in another country, should that lose me my Canadian citizenship or make me less of a Canadian? His job as a company board member was to look after share holders. Now the shareholders are the people of Canada. You should hope he does just as well for his country. At least he won't be using his position to enrich his businesses like your hero down south. What's laughable is a Trumpster like you getting all sweaty about lying.

He's a guy who chose not to live in Canada for the last ten years, who makes a living off of helping corporations avoid paying taxes in Canada. Xi and Trump find him very useful, and the CBC LOVES the BILLIONS in taxpayer money that he directs their way. He's also a serial liar, and his lies are big and blatant. They're also not slight inaccuracies or minimizations/exaggerations. The things that he says are usually the exact opposite of what's true.

Wotta deal! They can now ship hormone free beef to the UK just like they could've 30 years ago if they'd bothered to. The tariff is reduced to what it was the day before Trumo arrived. If they can now sell chlorine washed chicken to Britain now, does that mean the Brits can build small pickups and ship them to the USA duty free now? I sure hope so.

Right the Liberals want to give everyone free goodies but don't want the political hit of raising taxes to pay for it. So they'll make future generations pay for it, with interest, just so theycam keep getting elected. Very fiscally responsible of them. Meanwhile nobody can afford a house and our healthcare system sucks.

OP is gunning for "Most useless threads of the year" award. The competition is fierce.

Again, that is you trying to justify Russia starting a war... but at the end of the day, they started a war. This is their war of aggression. If you are going to then sit here arguing about them wanting a peace plan... they had that before they started this war. There was already peace.

My position is quite clear here. I am not suggesting anything. Russia started this war. Russia took advantage of the chaos going on with the Ukrainian government and annexed Crimea. Then they started a shadow war in the Donbas. Then they launched an all out full scale invasion of Ukraine. You keep saying they want a peace plan... they can have that anytime they want by simply stopping the war of aggression they are pushing. We don't need silly hypothetical games that do not correlate to understand this.

Lobsters, shrimp and crabs are essentially sea bugs, just sayin' Focusing on poultry instead of red meat will help with emissions, for sure.

Stop changing the subject you little b1tch. Carney gets caught on huge lies all the time and you can't even address the topic. You just have to go straight to slander without even hinting at making any kind of rational point. Canada is f'd - because of worthless losers like you. You're the exact reason that Canada needs to break apart. There's just no living with a worthless f'ing skid like you. I'd prefer anything over this country staying together.

I see that in your signature there... Where is gov't oversight supposed to come from, pray tell? The media is supposed to play a big role in that, but our media in Canada is openly supporting one party and has been for decades now. You fully support the lack of media in this country. What type of oversight are you hoping for? The media tells Canadians that scandals and ethics breaches don't matter, and you support that, so what would be the point of "oversight" if the media can just ignore it or convince Canadians to look away? Our old ethic commissioner got PTSD, and the RCMP weren't allowed to question anyone about Trudeau's scandals, and you were happy about that, so again, why even pretend that you actually want oversight? Do you think that there should be more oversight on the opposition? Is that it? I think that if you were being honest, you'd say that you want the opposition under heavy scrutiny, and mostly muzzled.
