Housing completions is a fake statistic and is functionally the same as “housing shouldn’t fall in value.” Dont be fooled.

E.g. last two years Vancouver BC led North America for the most housing starts, and was among the highest in the developed world.

Because the price was increasing thanks to investors and speculators.

Now that the price increase has cooled though? All of the developers simply stop building. Since feb 2025, housing starts in Vancouver are down by almost 50%.

To be fair. It’s Alberta.

There’s a not insignificant chance that if someone named Peter Polliver was on the ballot, a number of albertans would be too irritated by the original’s quebecois name and immediately vote for the “proper canadian” guy instead.

Unlikely and here most people still have a middle name too.

How about we ban these by-elections that only exist to give a loser a second chance. Idgaf I’d it’s libs, cins, NDP, bloc, crab people, no one should get to run a second time just because they are party leader.

Not to mention this asshole getting a do-over is costing the Canadian taxpayer a bit of money. I expect a personal thank you note for the charity, Poilievre.

How about we change it so you have to LIVE in the riding you’re running in?

PP is the parachute candidate

How do we fill the seat then?

That was Singh’s plan

He is not Quebecois, he does not even speak French with a Quebecois accent.

No it wasn’t. He wanted to open up more PR and family reunification so the elderly can come into our already failed healthcare system.

Its basically the only issue I voted on.

The only reason the seat is vacant is because they wanted to give PP another chance. Without that, they still have their MP.

The person who wins gets it…

Personally I don’t think we should even select a prime minister till after the election so people don’t just vote for the “leader” over the local candidate. PM is chosen by winning party from winning MPs

“These aren’t real candidates. They aren’t campaigning. They aren’t engaging with constituents,” Poilievre wrote.

Boy, that sounds a whole lot like how none of the CPC candidates showed up to any of my local debates or showed up on a single local news or radio program, or took a single interview.

Frankly, I don’t think we should be limited from running for office based on their percieved level of seriousness or that it’s a protest. That’s a slippery slope right there. We can increase the signatures or whatever, but it’s still not going to be particularly useful and will primarily increase the floor of how much money you need to actually campaign.

It’s all fake, like his whole persona. He is a Chameleon who has 3 word slogans…

@Sunshine When is this irrelevant, unelectable turd going to shut the fuck up?

What we actually need is government housing, built en masse and rented out below market value

All MPs vote on who the PM is after the election already, they just usually vote for their party leader

In this case but people vacate for numerous reasons

Under assumption you voted for PP, the guy that wanted to give all Indian nationals Canadian citizenship if requested

I feel like you don’t actually know what you voted for
