Conservatives are a joke. Show us some policy ideas for once.

[–] Waveform@multiverse.soulism.net 13 points 5 hours ago

please keep throwing anti-american hissy fits.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

If the world hadn't thrown a big hissy fit about the Nazis I'm sure they could have been talked down. After all, they just had different opinions.

Law of Unintended Consequences - More federal PC members are going over to the Liberals because they can n ot tolerate what is happening in their own party. Soon Carney will have his majority.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe PP can chase enough of his members away that we won't have to have an election in the spring. Not a big fan of floor crossings either way, without a mandate from their constituents.

[–] DarylInCanada@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

I really good suggestion that was made was that they have to serve their term out as an independent until the next election.

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Mandate it!

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

Well maybe Canadians shouldn't be so stupid about politics. We vote for the person not the party but no. Everyone votes party or more specifically for the party leader. Its why proportional representation makes sense now. Everyone is voting for the party anyway and doesn't care about who the MP is.

Canada is harming its relationship with the US?

Are we talking about the Americans electing a criminal felon as President, who appears to be facing allegations of decades long pedophilia, and seems to be part of a global scale honey pot and blackmail operation that targeted people around the world? Did that damage trust and credibility? And did we mention the Americans who seem involved in the debauchery, death, trauma, and abuse from trafficking vulnerable underaged girls around the world for this operation for decades are also not facing any justice? Instead, they all appear to be closing ranks and maintaining an iron curtain of silence?

Oh, and world leaders and dignitaries have to grapple with the knowledge that these same Americans remain in positions of power and gatekeeping positions throughout the US government system?

Plus this same US President is extracting wealth for his billionaire friends? Wealth that the Western powers created a rules based order together to generate?

By the time the Americans manage to uncollapse their justice system, and maybe codify some laws to avoid the total collapse of their society in their legislative branch, it will be decades.

Canada is not throwing a hissy fit, we're literally working around a gasping goon where an ally should be, and we're trying to keep the lights and the heat on for the rest of us until this blows over.

Just lie down and take it, ssh, sssssshhhh. It'll all be over quick if you don't fight it.

Jivani is a US conspirator and traitor.

He only got a Yale degree because of EDI, and he supports a government that would deport his whole family.

He interned with Cory Booker, Democrat, and was a Liberal party member until 2020. That got him what he needed, then....

Uncle Thomas here moved into the big house with his buddy JD Vance and suddenly got bleached. He was funded via the US Atlas Foundation as one of the right-wing "think tanks" employed him in Canada.

He thinks Jordan Peterson is a positive inspiration for young males to counter extremism. He has praised Kanye West and Danielle Smith. He believes in critical race theory. On October 3, 2025, Jivani announced the launch of a Restore the North Campus Tour which are modelled after the Turning Point USA campus tours .

He ran a charity with Vance in Ohio. Our Ohio Renewal, which turned out to be a complete scam with the opiod industry.

He should be in jail for Our Ohio Renewal, but idiot Oshawa voted for him because he had a blue lawn sign.

Bought and paid for traitor says what?

[–] megopie@beehaw.org 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

As an American, no it fucking ain’t. Keep boycotting American shit please. Keep being a problem. I beg you.

This situation is dumb, and the only way certain compatriots will get that through their inch thick steel skulls is pressure from all sides.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

With Trump no matter how much you give him he’ll ask for more, so no, there’s no reasonable bargaining position. As soon as you capitulate or give they’ll demand more and call you weak.

[–] megopie@beehaw.org 3 points 9 hours ago

And the more you blue ball him and deny him what he wants, the weaker his domestic position gets and the less he’s able to lash out.

So don’t fucking bargain with him, don’t make deals, tell him to suck wind. The more people doing this the more he is diminished as a threat to everyone involved.

Jamil Jivani is the MP's name.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 hours ago

USA only gonna beat you up harder if you go back to him. Eventually he'll kill you. Lots of abused spouses see this.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 15 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Awwww. Pack your bags then you little bitch. Off to fascism with you.

[–] L_N@piefed.ca 7 points 10 hours ago

Everybody knows Jivani is a traitor; he should be kicked out.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 5 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

What riding is this guy in? I think we should show him what a real hissy-fit looks like.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Oshawa, the white trash trailer park of the GTA.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

He's riding a tiny orange shroom

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I can't wait to see if Poilievre goes after him for breaking ranks. The pro US wing of the party isn't huge, but it isn't small enough that they can alienate them completely.

[–] DarylInCanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

PP has already split from him.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

Poilievre is spineless. If anything, Jivani will get his job.

[–] Routhinator@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago

Good. Keep it up fellow Canucks

[–] Yezzey@lemmy.ca 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why are some Conservatives obtuse

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago

Because those conservatives are fascists.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 46 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (4 children)

Oh, I'm sorry.

The country that says they want to annex us, declared economic warfare, is trying to force shared industries to leave, and have thrown unlawful tariffs at us over fake emergencies is perfectly fine.

We're all just over-reacting! Maybe if we all just get on our knees and they'll be nice to us again!

Hissy fit? Really? The orange pedophile of hissy fits is the reason the relationship is dead.
