Conservative Party 'leader' Pierre Poilievre has decided to stay in his official opposition residence of Stornoway despite the fact that he is not supposed t...
If we’re debating what “the point” is, it looks to me like pettiness is the point. Why else would someone get emotionally invested into an issue that isn’t even bothering Poilievre’s own personal political rivals?
Rich kids are still children and not political pawns. And hypocrisy is the least of my concerns around the party shamelessly espousing shitty values, but a meaningful concern around the parties and leaders that claim to be better.
If you’re so deeply invested in extracting your pound of flesh, endorse making him pay rent between leadership positions. Alternatively, just choose an issue to champion that is considerably more…productive.
He uses his autistic daughter as a prop. That’s a problem. He also lies about his wife sometimes she’s French, sometimes she’s a Latin American refugee (who somehow failed upward into a job at Parliament 🙄). Fact is her social media is full of right wing spew saying she’s gonna be “First Lady of Canada” which clearly demonstrates the American slant of it all. So glad these fucking grifters are not near power any longer . Can’t wait until the CPC turf PP to the curb. Tick tock PP.
He uses his daughter as a prop. Is he your role model now? Being a prop (whether unwilling or conditioned) still does not make a child responsible for her father’s behavior. She’ll still be affected if Poilievre is removed from leadership, but at least that’ll be only once and for a political impact more meaningful than poorly targeted personal revenge.
I used to think leaving people’s children alone was the red line Canadians still had the decency to toe.
Polievre uses his own daughter (who has no say in the matter) If he’s no longer leader and he’s not elected in public life anymore the. his daughter can’t be used against her will as a political prop.
You’re very focused on what Poilievre does, even where it doesn’t actually affect you and even though you have no control over his words or actions.
You have complete control over your own words and actions. Nothing any politician does will change who’s character that reflects. That’s power you are granting him, and it only diminishes yourself. But by all means, have another go at re-articulating your whatabout defense. Maybe the third time’s the charm.
Nah it’s the hypocrisy. 19 room free mansion for me but nothing for thee.
So is your problem that the leader of the opposition gets a house at all, or is it this period where he’s not got a seat but it staying anyway?
Or just that he in particular is getting a house?
The point is not to unpack why PP is a problem. The point is - that he is a problem. I gave one good reason earlier, that suffices. He’s a hypocrite.

I mean yes considering the state of our Prime Minister’s residence. It is horrible the opposition has a nicer place.
