The results are in. Jagmeet Singh and Pierre Poilievre have both lost their seats in the 2025 election. Jagmeet's loss isn't surprising. He drove that party into the ground. I saw the protest outside his Riding office when he hopped into bed with Justin Trudeau. The signs said Jack Layton and Tommy Douglas are rolling over in their grave.
Jagmeet lost all the gains Thomas Mulcair made. Thomas Mulcair said it was smart to pull the band-aid off by resigning after the NDP lost official party status. Interesting to note that last month Thomas Mulcair told people not to vote NDP this time as it should be a contest between Conservatives and Liberals to take on Donald Trump's trade war.
In 2015 Thomas Mulcair was the only candidate that supported a balanced budget. That's why I voted for him. The Conservatives didn't. That's because Harper wasn't a Conservative. He was a tax and spend Globalist who spoke at the World Economic Forum.
Thomas Mulcair claimed “Several provinces are now at the 50 per cent rate. Beyond that, you’re not talking taxation; you’re talking confiscation. And that is never going to be part of my policies, going after more individual taxes. Period. Full stop.” He said the NDP would spend money on different things, and the NDP would make cuts, but they would be better cuts.
How's that for shattering stereotypes? Jagmeet destroyed that legacy by promoting his WEF bullsh*t and by jumping into bed with Justin Trudeau to get a pension. So good riddance. Ruby Dhalla would have been a much better choice.
Pierre Poilievre losing his seat is startling but he is a strong leader and deserves to stay on as he did make gains in Quebec and elsewhere. Andrew Sheer stepped down after he lost but he received 34.4% of the overall vote while Justin Trudeau only received 33.1% of the overall vote. I think Andrew Sheer should have stayed on as leader.
I listened to CBC on the way home for about 30 seconds as that was all I could stomach and they pointed out that four months ago in last December Pierre Poilievre had a 30 point lead. So what happened? They said sure the Trump effect was part of it then added a bunch of BS. The Trump effect was all of it and I'll explain why in my next post.
Gotta be honest, voted Connservative but not pissed, it was close, and legit. What really helps ease the pain for me? The fact Jagmeet got pounded and the NDP lost official party status! Not a horrible consolation prize. Jagmeet sucks as much as Trudeau.
ReplyDeleteYes, the fact that Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet are both gone is good. The media lied about Carney saying he was more right wing than Justin Trudeau so let's hold them to that lie. Let's watch next year's budget closely.
DeleteFor me, I'm disappointed but not surprised but part of me is also relieved. I don't want to see us hunting down migrants and opening ICE prisons. We need to drop that hate if we are going to confront the real problem. We need to evolve before we become extinct.
