This guy is human garbage. One of the moat dishonest politicians in Canadian history. If carney hadn't run, we have had freedland, and she'd have had a historical lose to pp because of her ties to trudeau. We'd be the 51st state already.

This fucking guy almost made Prime Minister. That's how close we got to more of this bullshit.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

No, his claims are not "simply" ignorant, as the article claims:

his claims are INTENTIONALLY ignorant, which is malevolent, is disinformation, & is gaslighting-of-fact.

The difference between the 2 states is signficant.

PP so pathetic. Lost the election lost his riding lost his mind. And he’s a career politician. So none of this is excusable.

Pathetic.

"A Canadian politician"

Isn't this guy the head of their conservative party?

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After he lost in the election,

Some rando step aside and give him his conservative seat.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Also he didn't even get the re elected in his own riding

Hey now, it could have been the liberal party. They've made the "Whoopsie!" of endorsing fascism before.

He’s a piece of shit. Got voted out last election and then made another politician resign so he could run a “safe” conservative riding in Alberta. He is a garbage person with zero redeeming qualities who has never passed a piece of legislation despite being a lifelong politician never having any other job. He’s a grifter who has sucked off the taxpayer tit his entire career. He lives in taxpayer subsidized housing . He will never be Canadas Prime Minister. We call him PeePee, or Millhouse or just “massive douchebag”.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He and Danielle smith need to fuck right off this planet. Send them back to mars

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

Hard agree.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

He got voted out AND lost his riding.

For those in the US, it's the equivalent of a governor with presidential aspirations blowing a 30 point lead to lose the election, then immediately getting voted out of his governorship, only to then ask Greg Abbott to step down so he can run for governor of Texas while living in DC.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The guy fails big. And with no shame. We should give it a name.

Pp level fail.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

More like a senator than a governor

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.social 80 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Man we had such a nice break from him since the election.

He's a f--king dumbass. Lot's of us Canadians refer to him as "Piss Pants" or "Pee Pee".

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Thats Little Pee Pee, thank you very much.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sadly, that doesn't disqualify him from holding office.

The fact that he can't get Canadians to vote for him, however does.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

From what I've read, Canada DOESN'T designate nazis as terrorists.

Chickens DO come home to roost, "leaders", INEVITABLY.

Correct the problem!

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's trying to be disruptive in the same way as politicians in the Trump regime, and there's probably a reason for that. Maybe the same reason he won't get his security clearance?

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's never a bad day to punch a nazi.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago

Milhouse is already very punchable, Nazi or not. So sick of seeing him everywhere.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tiny PP is a piece of shit. I had hoped Canada had cut off its PP earlier this year but Nazis are like hydras

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

well we did. and then one of his lackeys who did win in some butt fuck no where town decided to step down so PP could have it. I mean the guy not only lost the PM race but also lost his home riding so he quite literally had to move somewhere else and have that place handed to him.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Shut him up now or you'll be like us in less than a decade.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's already far deeper than him.. he's just what bubbled to the surface in that pot.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Canada being a racist country pretending to be progressive is its biggest flaw, I grew up hearing about how perfect Canada is, and then I got older and learned about residential schools and genocide and how they have historically treated people like me. Now im old and I see a country that doesn’t care that its citizens can’t afford food or rent or a future. It was all a lie.

Having said that, pp represents the people who caused all the misery and hate for centuries

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's just the latest in Rupert Murdoch's line of pets he has trying to spread his shit across Canada.

Harper was one too but thankfully his plan to implement Sun news, which would have been a news channel that was the Canadian equivalent of Fox, was never brought to fruition.

But sadly much of rural Canada drinks the Fox news firehose.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Dont brush it off. Look at us to the south. Dont brush this off. Chase these people with pitch forks and torches until they are forced to make their own shantytown in the wilderness. It won't go away they have to be forcibly removed.

It seems that Beaver Trump wants to invoke the tired, old "But socialism in 'national socialism!'" trick. Surely, the same logic applies to Deutsche Demokratische Republik. I remember coming across Poilievre during the WE Charity scandal. I'm not Canadian but I really like their Fifth Estate documentaries and their coverage on the aforementioned scandal caught my eye. In a separate video, Poilievre grills the two heads of the operation. This seemly obscure Canadian PM suddenly became Canada's ~~favorite~~ favourite politician and possibly the next prime minister. But it soon become clear that Poilievre was just another right-wing, Trump-esque populist.

He has to be the worst candidate they have put forward in a long time, carney is pissing me off but this guy is dangerous. As soon as he came back he started in in immigrants and his supporters started up their racist protests

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

Ah yes, gloss past the fact that they were nationalists before they were socialists, even if you take their name at face value.

Fucking Polievere. Every time I think he can't get any more unlikable.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fuck that guy. I hate pp so much.

So if socialism is bad because it's in the name of Nazis, then democratic republics for the people must be pretty horrible too, going by the DPRK.

While we're cherry-picking, the Kingdom of Norway is consistently one of the best countries to live in across several metrics. So clearly we should go back to kingdoms, because it's in the name. Sometimes the old ways are best XD
