Last week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Singh to pull out of the agreement.

Calling Singh's statement a "media stunt" in a post on X, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the NDP leader for not saying whether he will vote non-confidence in the government at the earliest opportunity.

Conservatives moving goalposts constantly... colour me surprised until I'm blue in the face.

Poilievre is making a string of very strange political gambles. Doing the rhyming nickname thing, trying to look like a cool badass, going on a string of unusual, foolish-looking, public attacks against rivals.

If the Conservatives don't do as well as expected in the federal election, I wonder what's next for them, from a leadership, attitude, and policy standpoint.

This will be Gen Z's first real federal election to participate in. I'm very interested to see their impact. Convention is to assume that the young won't vote, but, life and livelihood for the youth in Canada has never been worse, at least in my lifetime.

Young men have really lost their way.

Young Men have largely been abandoned.

There are many reasons for this, but it still hurts when you need help and kindly get told to get lost because we don't have supports for men and boys.

Ah yes, it's society's fault young men are swinging hard right into fascism like they always do. It's society's fault that toxic masculinity has become a political movement. If only we had allowed young men into women's shelters, the next 20 years of repression and oppression could have doubtlessly been avoided. Stupid society.

Young women are swinging the same into the hard right and fascism.

Genuinely not sure why people are lining up to argue you on this. Its not even opinion, just facts.

If anything, it's about time us white guys have to fucking struggle a bit. I'd just like a world where we can collectively pull our heads out our asses and stop voting the wrong people into power.
