Guess we now know which party has the jumbo shrimp with cocktail sauce at their Christmas event.

Due to inflation those are just normal shrimp now

Guess she was just at the Conservative supper the night before the Liberal supper.

He must have put on quite the act.

Another conservative just crossed the floor.

Oof... Just before a leadership review...

The base will see to it that he gets through that I think.

IF Carney get's his one more for a majority

And IF PP survives the review

I wonder how tenable the status quo is for some if it becomes more or less locked in for 3 more years, with a strong signal that the base/party apparatus isnt turning back

That's very possible. Im hearing his popularity amongst Con voters has dropped 10%. And that he need 80% to stay in his role ? I stand to be corrected, just something I think I heard on talk radio.

Anywho, if the CPC choose to keep him at this point they have no one to blame but themselves for their lack of ability to form Gov.

Yes. He’s far back in that regard.

And that he need 80% to stay in his role ? I stand to be corrected, just something I think I heard on talk radio.

I heard the same thing but that number is not written in stone. Less than 80% is definitely not good but he isn’t bound by that.

Anywho, if the CPC choose to keep him at this point they have no one to blame but themselves for their lack of ability to form Gov.

Agreed.

I could imagine a course of events where the CPC vote to keep Poilievre as leader, and that itself ends up cited by one or more disaffected MPs as a final trigger event pushing them to cross. I.e., the CPC refuses to change course so they’ve had enough.

PM Carney would probably be tickled pink to both get his majority AND have the CPC confirm Poilievre as continued leader. Politically, he would probably prefer that to the CPC sucking back, reassessing, and picking someone new who may be more effective. I could even literally see him asking other crossers to check fire until after the leadership review confirms Poilievre.
