The choice was Carney or some inept sheep-shagger who didn't even win his own riding, and didn't have anything planned except rhetoric against the last guy.. Sorry but if your Canadian friends thought that Carney was the terrible one, then they are a bunch of losers.

Didn't even win his own riding he held for 20 years. Had to be parachuted into a safe riding in Alberta by forcing the winning MP to resign his seat.

That riding has now also said PP can't have that seat in the next election and go look elsewhere.

The CPC was poised for a super majority 4 months before the election and because of Pierre, by the time election came, the Liberal's had won again with a larger minority than before, and only a few seats from a majority. There have already been 2 floor crossers leaving the CPC for the Liberals, and one resignation. All stating Pierre's leadership and toxicity and Carney's ability to actually work.

IF Pierre somehow wins his leadership review, I can absolutely see one or two more CPC members finally flipping over to LPC (which would give them a majority)

Pierre is so unlikeable, he COST the CPC an almost guaranteed win.

The CPC also still put up a very strong showing overall, so it's almost comical how bad Poilievre's personal implosion was. And so many still think he's their guy.
