    I’m looking forward to Singh’s next shots fired at PP. preferably asking him when he’s stepping down as the party leader such as any respectable person should do if they lose in their own riding.

      It was actually so nice. I walked into work and nobody was talking politics because it didn’t feel like the world was ending.

      For any conservatives, I’m sorry. I work and am highly involved with vulnerable people, and I vote to protect them as best I can. A vote for PP would not have been a vote to protect the most vulnerable I know, which in my eyes is what a society is meant to do.

        Same. I also work with vulnerable people and a vote for PP is a vote for many of my peeps at work to be tazered in a jail bathroom for something they cannot afford to medicate (such as it is in “healthcare is a big business” USA).

      I wouldn’t say WON, but bullets were dodged for sure. Phew!

      ( But obviously we need to work on basic education )

    I wonder who told him about the real world? Perhaps he’ll have time to go out and discover it now.

      He can retire on a full federal pension, the only way it would get higher would have been if his party won last night. He has not, and will not, need to acquaint himself with the real world.

    And then he said he was gonna stay on as the opposition – even though he can’t sit in parliament right now.

      Well, he can’t quit…he doesn’t have any work experience to get another job elsewhere.

    Do they even have a viable leader to replace little pp? Not that he was much of a leader, but not exactly a party with any members that stand out as leadership material.

      Charest was the viable alternative last time and he came from outside the party. Carney came from outside politics as well.

      If they do a leadership race someone will be there to fill the void, possibly someone who will pull the party back towards a progressive conservatives agenda since the message was pretty clear, Canada wanted a fiscal conservatives but not a social conservatives.

      Eh, the world has a way of producing people like that when there’s a niche for them (read: ignorant, bigoted and above all struggling people for them to exploit).

    Well, the voters did fire him.

    Now it’s up to his party to do the same, as they have done with so many other former leaders who lost.

    Oh do you guys also have that thing where like 90% of your government only shows up to work a few days out of the year but collect paychecks for all 365 days?
