Well would you just look at this. Isn't that something?

It sounds like he's going to get parachuted into some safe riding. We might not be free of him yet.

Why? Wil the party did well in the election Pierre most certainly did not. It was a rejection of him personally.

Canadians don't want MAGA millhouse.
- While I agree, it surly is not how the CPC sees it. The CPC had an historic participation and only a circonscription had to vote for Pierre. In a way, he was rejected by his constituents, but not by Canada. If it wasn't for the NDP partisans that voted liberals, we probably would have a conservative government. So yeah... I'm not hopeful for the future, next elections might be deceiving.
That shouldn't be allowed and neither should crossing the floor. I voted, we all voted, for whom and what party we wanted, and that's that.
- Crossing the floor should be fine, possibly even encouraged if you no longer agree with your party's direction. Unless you're saying that all MPs should just follow the party line and not have any original thoughts of their own.
- Crossing the floor is a pretty rare thing in the first place. At that point, maybe we should just move to a party list system.
There's a lot of Conservative infighting right now. It's a big tent party and not everyone in it cares about fighting "radical woke liberals". It'll be at least a month, if not longer, before an open seat gets a by-election and there's always the chance people in that riding will have have lost confidence in Poilievre. At the same time, while Poilievre waits for another chance at a seat, the Conservatives will need to name a current MP the leader of the official opposition. Why not just have that person be the new party leader?

The past two Conservative leaders, Scheer and O'Toole, were forcibly ejected from the leadership spot by the party after their loss. The party will be kicking someone out for sure, but it seems like a toss up between a loser (Poilievre) and a winner (MP who won a landslide victory). It'll be interesting to see who gets the proverbial "axe".
- I really, really hope a return to center of some kind prevails, or at least the party splits in two with a saner half. One of our two major parties basically becoming a US-MAGA fifth column is a really scary prospect.

"Honourable" is the funniest part of this.
