I am not particularly happy about this, wish the NDP picked up more seats but you can’t have everything you wish for.

Do I think PP will take this in stride and step down? No.

Politically, Poilievre is an enigma. Somehow, in spite of everything, all the blunders, cringeworthy gaffes, miscalculations, party defectors, he was literally chased out of Ottawa. And yet, he's managed to stay on top of his party rank. How on earth did he overwhelmingly pass leadership review? It's a mystery to me.

What catastrophe would it take to actually chasten this man, and his party? I shudder to think.

It's MAGA money

Remember the leadership "vote" he recently passed was based on the votes of people who paid ~$1500 to be there

I mean, the party is made of assholes leading morons, but in the case of teensy weensy PP, the morons didn't put him back in power after all the ridiculousness you listed, wealthy assholes did

Hopefully, there is a legitimate investigation into him and that traitorous snake Smith in Alberta

Also worth noting it was held in Calgary and all voters had to physically be there. So voters were Calgarians with enough money to get in, and people from the rest of Canada with enough money to get in and enough money/time to travel there.

For sure, I've heard that argument, but I wonder - if I had wealth that I wanted to protect, and I thought a strong Conservative party was a means to that end, I'd want Poilievre gone yesterday. Still remains a mystery to me what CPC supporters see in him, in light of all the evidence in front of them.
