Aged like milk

Remember when the liberal party made it their job to pass electoral reform and then didn't do it?

There's hope that this might not have aged as badly as some think.
After all, PP might actually get fired as the Cons leader for not doing his job. (Though honestly, I'm rooting for the party to break up. A far right party and extreme right party splitting the votes will only show just how terrible each side is, and with a split, the animosity between them means that neither will gain traction for decades, and hopefully make Canadians realize just how terrible the parties they've been voting for really are)
- Sounds like your voting system is fucked up.

Saw Protest the Hero open for BTBAM last night and the lead singer was pretty stoked about PP losing his job and house.
It was fun watching someone be happy about an election … 🫠

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.
- Singh stepped down, he's gone.
  
  I think that is the point being made

So WHY does he still get paid our tax dollars to do nothing
- That's a great question and the answer is: he shouldn't be drawing on tax funds. He cannot hold the position of leader of the opposition unless he has a seat, and I can't find any provision for unelected party members in here.
  
  An MP in a conservative stronghold has to resign and then he can run there in a byelection to get back into the House of Commons. The timing of the byelection is determined by Prime Minister Carney though, so he could very well be put until 2026.

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.
  
  I hate this fact so much. He’s been literally USELESS to Canada.

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.

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.
- 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).
- 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.

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?
