So, democracy is to kick out a loyal member so the loser can take his spot ? Well that will be up to the people in that riding. I know, you don't want them to have the choice. The party is indicated that they want Poilievre to stay on as a leader, the people in the writing of indicated they're happy to have Poilievre represent them, the guy is willing to step aside of his own free will, and the people in the writing will have to vote as to whether or not they approve of this in the end. But you think it's absolutely terrible and horrible and evil and no good very bad that any of these people be given a choice. Democracy should only happen when it suits you after all.

Aristides Posted May 10 Report Posted May 10 (edited) 2 hours ago, myata said: 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 election spent versus ~ 10% "saved"? Ohoh. It surely works out of someone's pocket just not his. Unnecessary?. Trudeau had lost the confidence of his own party and we were due for an election in the fall anyway. Would you have rather had a PM without a seat until the fall? Or are you just referring to the upcoming bye election? Would it have been OK with you if the Liberals had just held a bye election to give Carney a seat until the fall instead of a general election in the spring? Edited May 10 by Aristides Quote

You constantly defend the liberals corruption, you constantly say that elections are pointless and not a way to hold parties to account, you make the most ridiculous suggestions and you keep voting for the left and supporting the liberals every opportunity you get here. And that's when you're not blaming harper for justin's criminal behavior. It's pretty obvious you're just fine with corruption as long as it's the liberals doing it.

What's that got to do with anything? Poilievre doesn't get to stay on his leader unless his party approves. That's democratic. Poilievre doesn't get to take over the riding unless the electorate approves. The gentleman in question wouldn't step down unless he approved. Across the board this is completely democratic Are you seriously complaining that democracy cost money? Why is it your kind of people always hate democracy unless it's specifically benefits them?

cougar Posted May 11 Report Posted May 11 (edited) On 5/9/2025 at 6:45 PM, CdnFox said: I rather doubt you'd see a liberal doing that Just a political stunt. Pre-election campaigns cost big money. He gets a big "Like" vote from all Canadians for just $154K while making the rest look bad. You wait and see what happens if he gets elected. It is also very possible the Oil and Gas industry paid him the $154K and asked him to turn the severance down so his chances are better next time around. Edited May 11 by cougar 1 Quote

So, democracy is to kick out a loyal member so the loser can take his spot ? I would think in doing so serves his personal immediate purpose?? Hopefully the residents of the riding he is stealing see what he is, a loser, and will not let him get away with it. He did not kick out another member, thats a liberal myth....that MP volunteered his own seat, as a gesture to the parties leader.... i know foreign concept for the left.... But yes it is in our own rules of democracy, the party leader can ask members to step down....Of course if your a liberal you don't ask you just accuse them of some wrongdoing dismiss them from the party then step in that riding....like you own the place...a lot of double standards going on...

Oh yeah, the conservatives looked for someone willing to give up their hard won huge majority seat.:) Never once said they kicked out another sitting member. Never once said it was undemocratic either. Yeah, fell on his sword for the good of the party LOL WTF Army Guy...it was him or someone else that would commit political suicide to keep the fourth loser leader of the party in office. I never accused anyone of wrongdoing and you can apologize and I will accept it. When are the conservatives ever going to find a guy that is a real leader and win an election. Shit, the Libs parachuted in Carney, never a politician and never ran for office and the party was 28 points behind and still kicked conservative butt!! That has to tell you something about the conservative leader and his platform. And this is the first time in my voting life I ever voted for a liberal. I hated liberals form way back when Trudeau took a train ride through BC and told BCers to Fuddle Dudlde.

Well, he is a relatively new member of parliament representing his riding by a landslide and potentially a long career ahead of him and he steps away for a leader that actually lives over 3000 kms away from the riding?? yeah, my crystal ball is broken too.
