Prediction: Poilievre will never be PM

[Barquentine]

So he's gonna win his safe seat in Con country - too cowardly to run in Ont. But what if he wins by a smaller margin than they got in the general election?

And he has to face a leadership review in Jan. (Of course he won't step down after blowing their huge lead.) Hopefully there's one or two Conservatives with the heft and sense to challenge him.

And if he survives that he'll still be the unlikeable guy Canadians rejected and have that losing track record.

PeePee better hope some world wide disaster causes huge inflation, or we find out Carney's a closet cannibal. Otherwise he'll never be PM.

You sound awful worried for a guy who thinks that this guy isn't going to win

It was over for Pierre Poilievre when the apple eating video was released. No matter that the woman/journalist was trying to bait him or was rude, Poilievre showed Canadians just how classless he could be.  As Barquentine suggests, Pierre Poilievre will never be PM of Canada.

Guy got 41% of the vote. How do you explain that?

Only worried for the Conservatives. Believe it or not I would like to see them as a strong sensible centrist party.

But another reason PP won't succeed is because he will have to suck up to the far right, the way things stand.

Sadly that 41% wasn't in areas that counted.  I was hopeing he'd win and this country would get 'back on track' . . .

Why are you so worried about Poilievre?

Shouldn't you be focusing our lying f'n scumbag PM? 

[Shady]

Pierre will be PM as soon as there’s a non Trump influenced election.  Trump broke the brains of too many Canadians, especially boomers.  Every  other age group voted big for Pierre.  Plus, boomers are dying off day by day.

He did pretty well in most areas. He made gains in most of the provinces except Quebec.

Truth be told any other election going back to mulroney's day and that would have been a majority government.

If the NDP and the block had not collapsed to join the liberals they would not have won, and even with that they still only got a minority.

It's pretty hard to argue that he's entirely out of the running for pm at this point. But we'll see, Carney basically stole his entire identity and unless he can come up with something new to bring Canadians on board with he may very well have trouble getting ahead. On the other hand I think Canadians are going to get fed up of Carney pretty quick

I actually voted Conservative in our last provincial election, but I've had occasion to second-guess that.

Not worried. Just the opposite - glad he lost.

When PP gets back in to the Commons and starts going after carney, his numbers will go back up.

His numbers haven't gone down, which is kind of remarkable. The last poll I saw put the Conservatives at 40%. That's majority government territory in a normal election. I.e. one where the NDP hasn't collapsed because of their frenzied, ferocious addiction to identity politics and being on the wrong side of the culture war.

Right now, Carney is making all the right noises. But that's all it is - noise. He hasn't actually DONE anything. He hadn't sped up approvals on mining/resource/oil&gas projects, hasn't improved the economy, hasn't improved the military, hasn't improved immigration or refugees, hasn't delivered a budget so people can see his immense deficit. He's just made noises. In a year or so it will dawn on people that he's likely not going to do any of the things he's making noises about and that our debt load continues to grow as our economy continues to shrink.

54 days since the election. WTF do you expect, finger snapping miracles?

I guess it depends on what tracker or group of people you interview....Numbers have not moved that much, in fact both parties have lost numbers....

Ahhhh no, both parties haven't lost numbers....  

You should have used the latest abacus poll data - https://abacusdata.ca/abacus-data-poll-optimism-direction-of-country-canada/

Approval of Mark Carney’s government has reached a new high with 53% approving and 23% disapproving. This is the best approval rating for the federal government since the COVID-19 pandemic and similar to the post-election approval numbers of the Trudeau government following its first election victory in 2015.

Much of the goodwill directed towards the federal government continues to be strongly correlated with feelings towards Prime Minister Carney. Today, 51% have a positive impression of Carney compared with 27% who have a negative impression. The net score of +24 is the highest it has been for him.

Perceptions of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre remain divided. 39% of Canadians have a positive impression of the Conservative leader while 44% have a negative impression. This is the second wave in a row of rising negatives for Poilievre. His net score today is -7.

Your poker face is ugly. Oh wait, that's just your resting b1tch face. Which is really just a b1tch face.

Your poker face sucks. You reek of desperation.

The jig is up, dummy.

You can't run from the fact that Carney is a known serial liar, and he's not just lying about the number of droplets of rain that fell in 17 minutes either, or just being called a liar for telling the truth about a CNN false narrative: he's telling lies about who he essentially is and what he's doing as PM. Those are material lies which Canadians should be irate about. 

We've never had a liar like that in the PMO before, or even as a candidate. 

Trudeau was a scummy weasel that only cultists could stomach, but he didn't lie like Carney does, he just refused to answer questions and our media let him get away with it. 

For example, if Trudeau was in Carney's position, when he was asked if he played a role in moving the Brookfield HQ to NY, he woulda just talked about orange shirt day and called someone a racist, and the CBC journalists would have obediently followed up on those topics and left Brookfield alone. There would be no lie, just a simple non-answer to a question that we already know the answer to anyways, and the answer would just sit there in limbo forever, while reporters and journalists ignored the elephant in the room to instead focus on Trudeau's new divisive topic of the day.

Fact: Carney answers to absolutely no one. The only reason he lies is because he's an id10t, and he doesn't know what the CBC will let him get away with yet.

True, just being in the public eye again and looking relevant makes his numbers go up. That's just the way things are, the more you're in the public eye the more you tend to get positive recognition

The last two polls have them low, but it's summer and nobody seeing him. It's to be expected
