Great, a provincial special interest party now holds the balance of power in the nation's Parliament. A crappy day for Canadian democracy.
Much as I dislike the BQ, it has to be said, Blanchet has cajones
"I am happily assuming that if and when the Bloc will bring down the Liberals, Mr. Legault will support the Bloc Québécois"
This isn't getting called out as the crisis that it really is. Imagine the narrative if any other single province had the influence that the BQ is right now exercising. News outlets would be spinning up the sirens.
One outcome of the possibility that Poilievre finds success in a federal election, is that rhyming and nickname politics will become the norm. Among other things, a CPC government will be tiring and annoying.
I think we'll have to do some soul searching as a nation if the CPC gains any ground in this election. Like you, I struggle to understand how people don't see Poilievre as comically idiotic, both from a policy and rhetorical standpoint. He's such an insincere goof. Though I guess, maybe we've been conditioned to insincerity from Ottawa over the past decade.
