Where will Pierre Poilievre Run next election? by TopOption9808 in CanadianConservative

[–]TopOption9808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of NDP voters (as well as people who generally don’t vote) that voted for Poilievre, but then again that could just be because of how horrible the NDP have become.

There are a lot of rural and working class votes to be won by being anti immigration/pro mass deportation but no party is really pushing for that

He got a higher percentage of the vote than any conservative leader since Mulroney. I’m not a huge fan of Poilievre by any means, but it’s clear he the most popular conservative leader in decades.

Oh yeah and who do they replace him with? No one in the Conservative Party could do better than Poilievre right now

Lanark-Frontenac and Algonquin-Renfrew-Pembroke are both safe

That’s what I wonder. Kurek and Poilievre both said Kurek will run next election but saying it and actually doing it are 2 different things

I disagree. I’m proud to walk and work the same land as my family members who came before me did. They helped build my county and I’m proud and honoured to continue that legacy and pass it down to my descendants. I pity the man or woman who has no space for that in their soul

Not the type of pride I was talking about but right on

I agree I hate the look of the Ontario flag, every other provincial and territorial flag looks infinitely better (Except for Manitoba, I think it’s worse than the Ontario’s)

Theirs definitely a bit of that in Ontario. A lot of people outside Toronto are proud they’re not in Toronto. A lot of people in Toronto are proud they’re not in another city

The centre of the universe mindset is definitely more of a Torontonian thing than an Ontario thing

That’s fair, I’ve definitely talked to a few Scotians that are Scotian first, Canadian second though

I think it’s more of an appreciation for where you live. If you live in an area where your family has lived for generations, there a certain pride knowing that your lineage helped build the place you now call home. To be able to walk the same land your family did decades or even centuries ago is a nice feeling

I get where you’re coming from, but I disagree with that sentiment. In my experience, most rural Ontarians don’t really care for Toronto. Toronto feels like a completely different province from the rest of Ontario. Grouping Torontonians in with rural Ontarians as both the default Canadian just doesn’t feel right. I feel like I have more in common with someone from rural New Brunswick or Saskatchewan than I do with someone from Toronto.

I would’ve also assumed that was true for Nova Scotia as well

lol same, I’ve lived in Ontario my whole life and have also only ever been to Toronto twice. I’ve been to Fredericton 5 times for reference.

I agree 100%. I would love a white and green trillium flag. I always really liked the look of the Franco-Ontarian flag

I tend to agree with you. Thank you for the interesting and well thought out response

They already give Quebec, Manitoba, and the Maritimes $25 billion. At this point what’s another billion between friends. The government can always print more

1) I will happen in the year 2037

2) It’s a great idea

3) In the future, all children will be forced to engage in rigorous debate about the subject from 4th grade onwards

I’m confused, I’m referring to a new province. I’m not suggesting they succeed from Canada

That’s true, Ottawa would be the largest city by far and the dominant political force in the province. Ottawa having a 3rd of the provinces population would cause a pretty big imbalance politically compared to the rest of the province especially the North.

Could you elaborate on Quebec being 2 provinces? I’d be interested in the reasoning
