To no one's surprise, it did not take long for me to conclude that Poilièvre must be removed as leader, and it has to happen now. He's already on the internet and sending bullshit e-mails to deflect responsibility for this humiliation on anyone other than himself. Typical Pierre. He hasn't got the guts to do the honourable and obvious thing: RESIGN. And so that job will fall to what remains of our caucus, those who have not yet spoken loud and clear with their feet.
Pierre is nothing more than a losing appendage, a poor excuse for a leader and Canadians in most parts of Canada want nothing further to do with him. That was made crystal clear on election night when he blew his own riding of Carleton. Put another way, they kicked him to the curb after TWENTY years. Voters finally had enough. We should have gotten rid of him politically then and there, but no, we preferred to make excuses for this guy and allow him to desperately hang on, which he did. He sticks to this leadership like glue because, in his heart of hearts, he knows that prospects are likely dim in the private sector should he go voluntarily or be shown the door by his own MPs. But none of that is our problem. It's his.
From this point, this isn't really about him. It's about us and whether we will continue to make excuses for this dud of a leader -- you know, all that bullshit about moral victories and history will judge. Total garbage that no sane person would buy unless they were a willing supplicant to a political loser. Now, it's about the party and where we're heading. Either he goes or most of our MPs will in the fall election. In essence, the choice has already been made for us. It's up to MPs to do what must be done to give us a fighting chance in the next election.
The tea leaves are obvious for all to see: another huge stretch on the opposition benches with no chance of forming government, none whatsoever, as long as Pierre remains leader. Done and dusted. He needs to go now, and if he won't voluntarily resign, then it's our MPs' job to remove him. (Worked out just great for the Liberals.) In short, take a hint or be prepared to serve another five years as a hobbled and weakened rump on the opposition benches. The power now is quite literally in your hands. Make the most of it or forget forming a government for the better part of the next decade. His leadership needs to end right now, or a lot of your jobs will when Carney pulls the plug. It's either HIS ass or most of yours.
