Poilievre is making a string of very strange political gambles. Doing the rhyming nickname thing, trying to look like a cool badass, going on a string of unusual, foolish-looking, public attacks against rivals.
If the Conservatives don't do as well as expected in the federal election, I wonder what's next for them, from a leadership, attitude, and policy standpoint.
This will be Gen Z's first real federal election to participate in. I'm very interested to see their impact. Convention is to assume that the young won't vote, but, life and livelihood for the youth in Canada has never been worse, at least in my lifetime.
If there's a glimmer of hope I have despite the current >99% CPC majority projection, is that Canadian youth will look to the US, see how much the outlook changes between June and November to know what is possible with an engaged electorate and the appropriate leader to match.
What we've got to figure out here is either how we can remove FPTP or come out with a proper plan to vote strategically. Like look at this fucking "Leans Conservative" riding. A massive hunk of bullshit, I tell you.

Edit: I missed a word
FPTP needs to be stopped. The court needs to get its head out of its rear end and actually call this method of voting antiquated and no longer appropriate.
Young men have really lost their way.
I disagree. And also I don't understand how your comment is relevant to the conversation. Making a non sequitur like this isn't constructive. So, nice try but, you will not divide us!
The comment was about GenZ voting! It's super relevant!!
Young women are the only cohort that strongly supports the NDP. The difference between young men and young women is striking enough to be panic inducing.
I'm not even sure what this is meant to mean. What do you imagine my motives are? Who am I supposedly trying to divide?
Ah yes, it's society's fault young men are swinging hard right into fascism like they always do. It's society's fault that toxic masculinity has become a political movement. If only we had allowed young men into women's shelters, the next 20 years of repression and oppression could have doubtlessly been avoided. Stupid society.
Young women are swinging the same into the hard right and fascism.
No, not "the same".
Genuinely not sure why people are lining up to argue you on this. Its not even opinion, just facts.
If anything, it's about time us white guys have to fucking struggle a bit. I'd just like a world where we can collectively pull our heads out our asses and stop voting the wrong people into power.
I hope they will consider carefully before voting. We don't need a lot of edgy, kneejerk mistakes.
