your plan assumes the liberals fail, if they succeed the CPC will have a hard time gaining support back. We already see in the polling a massive urban/rural divide

The outrage is getting overtly performative, 2018 provided a lot of material.
"A politician who crosses the aisle, has shown tremendous courage in putting their principles first."
Although a very tepid reaction from Pierre, not a whole lot he can do after saying he doesn't want an election right now.

I don't like it. A thin LPC majority shifts influence from a hypothetical CPC willing to play ball and gives it to the malcontents/zealots within the LPC tent, which encourages the CPC to lean harder into oppositional theatre rather than collaboration.

By that metric they also rejected Carney...
Need I point out that one of them won their seat and the other - the supposedly strong established incumbent - was voted out and did not? There’s simply no getting around that fact.
Carney was not rejected by voters. He was elected by them.
I was thinking big words from a guy who voted against a private member’s bill to stop floor crossing.

50-50 call where to put this, so putting it in the "what's it mean for government?" thread.

Then he was subsequently elected in a safe riding, like the riding Carney won.
I'm not interested int he partisan pissing contest, Carney didn't get a majority and neither did Poilievre, ergo both were "rejected" by the electorate write large.

Speaking in absolutes. Ballsy.
You have a weird notion of ‘rejected’ if you think it can lead to a seat in Parliament.
Yes, Poilievre absolutely succesfully returned to the House when he gave himself the mulligan.

You're intentionally ignoring my point to further your partisan point. We get it, you dislike PP.
As I said, neither got a majority, so both were "rejected" by the Canadian electorate. That was my point.

I sorta thought "never say never" when I spotted that, too.
Another member said Poilievre was rejected by voters. He was. His riding of many years voted him out. You chose to try to shift that to meaning anything less than an absolute majority of votes is being ‘rejected’. That, of course, is silly.
I do dislike Poilievre, but that’s irrelevant. What matters more to my opinion is that he is largely ineffective.. Canada needs a better and more credible opposition than he can provide. I would like to have a viable option to vote Conservative again. He was what CPC needed to defeat Trudeau; Canada needed Trudeau gone. With that achieved he is no longer the right tool in the toolbox. He had the chance to be and has demonstrated that he is not.

As if PM Mark "values" Carney didn't have a LPC manufactured mulligan into the PM chair...
“Offensive” is doing the lifting there. The wording leaves the door open for involvement that’s defensive in nature. Not that I’d argue we have much to offer unless we maybe send a six pack to shoot down drones… Which might be good practice? I don’t know if we have any other relevant capabilities at present.

Your point is just a silly one.
43.8 % of the electors in 2025 chose the LPC. 41.3% chose the CPC.
To say that not winning a majority in a multi-party system equals rejection by the electorate is nonsense. To say that there was a narrow gap between those two parties but that it slightly favoured the LPC is accurate.
If you want to look at rejection then maybe you should look at the Bloc and the NDP who were chosen by only 6.3% each.

I am sure the Canadian public will be accepting of that nuance and LPC wordsmithing should it arise.
I don’t imagine it’s an option on deck right now. Maybe if the situation developed to the point where a multinational coalition provided security to shipping in the strait or something. There would be an argument to be made there for justifiable involvement.
Not saying I think it’s likely. He’s just been careful not to rule it out.
