Actively sticking a stick in your own spokes feels like more effort and agency than PP's ever experienced in his life.
I cannot fathom voting for someone who has been in government his LITERAL entire career, and has never once passed legislation. He is the epitome of an empty soundbite in vaguely human shaped form.
I was listening to CBC cross-country checkup yesterday and there was this military contractor who called in and lamented that Carney wasn’t the right guy because of the stain on the Liberal party with the people still involved.
What the actual fuck is he smoking that he thinks this little do-nothing whiner is the tough guy who’s gonna rebuild Canada’s military.
Wait, what?? I did not know that. Like never? What the fuck does he do all day?? For years???
To be fair, in his 20 YEARS in parliament, his name has been attached to seven bills, one of which have passed, but that was one of Harper's omnibus bills that crammed a million different things into one, guaranteeing that he did not write it.
https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bills?parlsession=all&sponsor=25524&advancedview=true
His earliest ones were during Paul Martin's tenure, and his latest were during Trudeau's. A single one of his earliest bills seems halfway reasonable, but it's also hard to analyze without the context of what else was being introduced at the time. Otherwise, his bills have basically been what I would describe as jerk off motion partisan troll bullshit that had no actual hope of actually passing or influencing anyone.
He's not a person who's actually serious about improving the country in a meaningful way, he's a dipshit high school debate kid who got a job in government and has then spent 20 years doing nothing but whine about government.
You know, I don’t know why I’m surprised, it’s so on brand for him. Thank you for the detailed response!
Like a manicured Ed the Sock.
