Jamil Jivani is running around the country on his Charlie Kirk inspired speaking tour.
My question is: When did they stop preparing for the ‘next election’?

I would agree if they are developing more policy, legislature they want to bring in, and some depth in leadership roles.

Isn’t this the party that spent like…2 years begging for a “carbon tax election”
…only to be incredibly behind on candidate selection and not have a budget out until AFTER voting had started.
Not like the 2025 election came as a surprise to anyone, and yet somehow they managed to be caught with their pants down.
If that’s what the party could do with two years of prep time, it’ll be a miracle if the CPC even have nominations in safe ridings by the proper deadline in the event of a spring snap election.

I think the conservatives know they’ll have more floor crossers .
They’re going to try and use Carney getting a majority , frame it as undemocratic to get Pierre to the polls as quick as possible.
Food for thought. Call me crazy but
Pierre isn’t a long term bet by the cpc , hes a short term hail mary because they are predicting Carney will achieve enough economic success to hold up the liberal party in a election in 3 years .

If the Liberals can actually get a pipeline project (or two) on the go then the CPC better hope there is no election any time soon. The Liberals doubled their vote share in Alberta last election and if they actually get privately funded pipeline projects started you can expect this to shoot up especially in Edmonton and Calgary. It’s one of the largest most important voting factors in Alberta for federal elections and Alberta is the main voting block for the CPC, they can not afford to lose seats in Edmonton or Calgary.
Once these pipelines have started then Pierre’s slogan “Carney needs to get out of the way” isn’t going to be very effective.

What conservatives need is a leader, they just dont even know what that means. Someone who sets a vision and changes minds, rather than scurrying around trying to appeal to what they think is their base. Poilivre is not that man. He doesn’t really have values, hes just been in the camp for long enough.
IF there is a conservative vision for Canada, one that addresses our issues and values what we have instead of whining about how broken the place we love is, Canadians will listen. But if your just playing to the cynicism…. its not going to win.

Yeah we can tell, he’s been campaigning for 3 years. What does an MP actually do that they can just fuck off to every riding BUT their own and not have anyone raise any questions?

an opposition party deciding to bring down the government, thereby halting everything that requires any sort of legislative process in order to effect — potentially for months — at the current geopolitical juncture would be a singularly cynical, reckless and foolish thing to do. it’s the kind of thing democracies implement emergency measures legislation in order to be able to preempt. i do not want to believe that poilievre would achieve this. unfortunately, i believe that it is likely that he will try.
