You got to get rid of those nazis or they'll be ruling the roost in an election cycle, trust me. --an american
If it was the other way around he'd never let Carney hear the end of it - "Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat".
Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.
He already didn't let Carney hear the end of it - "Carney, who was not elected..."
milhouse is a fucking snake and a con-artist.
So I'm guessing Alberta is Canada's version of Alabama?
Probably closer to Texas, since we have a bunch of oil.
Ah. I see.
Are there not residency requirements?
My riding decided to elect someone who lives two cities away, so I guess not at the local level at least
Nope
Man that seems so Twisted to me. How can you represent people you don't spend any time around? How can you claim to know their needs if you don't even live among them?
that was predictable
Imagine if he fails to be elected again in the partials
He'll win, the only reason he's coming to Alberta is because it's a slam dunk.
82% in favour of conservatives during the last election but Carney can wait 6 months to launch the by-election, that might be long enough to piss off some conservatives that might want to get rid of PP.

Is it within parliamentary procedure to address him as the former member from Ottawa-Carleton?
Actual beta male
American here. Can someone explain why Carney won't be seeking NDP support?
To form an alliance you mean? The Bloc Quebecois already said they'll be quiet for the next year as there's lots to do, having two parties to work with means you don't necessarily need to always bend the same way so it's advantageous to leave the door open to sometimes compromise left and sometimes compromise in favour of what Quebec wants...
Political parties should just standby the morals and principles they try to uphold.
If they align together, great they can both vote yes. If they don't then they don't. Pandering to other parties to get their vote just gets in the way of what you are actually trying to achieve.
That's my take anyways

Nobody respects you Milhouse
Appalling, craven, cowardly, and pathetic hubris on the part of PeePee and conservative sycophants. A deep shame on rural Alberta for being such uncritical lemmings.
They haven't voted yet. I, for one, am not holding my breath, but maybe there will be a silver lining of hope that he doesn't get elected, especially if an independent runs against him. Now, to get the independent candidate riled up and in place. I have a vivid imagination. Lol
They are going to simp so hard for him. But I hope Maxime Bernier (PPC) runs as well as Blake Desjarlais (NDP) and the Longest Ballot as well. But I have zero faith in rural Albertans who have been mainlining right-wing apologia for decades.

Nothing says democracy like ignoring the will of the people.
That was quicker than I expected.
I for one didn't expect someone to resign this quickly.
PP has Mr. Kurek to thank. Some of you will understand this statement differently than others. 😂

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
