A Conservative MP is giving up his seat to allow Pierre Poilievre to run in a byelection after Prime Minister Mark Carney said he’d be ready to call one “as soon as possible.”
Didn’t this guy just preside over a pretty epic loss? Why does his party still want him?
Similar thing just happened here in Australia. Leader of the party lost his seat. Even if he hadn’t he would probably resign in shame because he’s really made a mess of things.
We have experienced a very strange situation where the cons (unfortunately) fared far better than it ever did in its modern iteration while losing its momentous advantage, meaning that there is still somewhat of a reason for Poilièvre to stay in the race. He is also very arrogant, so he will not back down easily.
IDK anything about Canadian politics.

Thanks. That’s helpful.
The in fighting hasn’t begun yet.
Yes. His own party should boot him as leader.
