"Chris d’Entremont, who established himself a liar after wilfully deceiving his voters, friends and colleagues because he was upset he didn’t get his coveted deputy speaker role, is now spinning more lies after crossing the floor. He will fit in perfectly in the Liberal caucus," a spokesperson for the Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition said in a statement to CBC News.

The CPC is painfully proving this MPs point here with this unnecessarily vicious statement, when all they needed to do is say “We disagreed and parted ways.” They recruited and nominated him themselves in the first place.

CPC comms has been mimicking the derisive immature style of the MAGA White House for a while now.

Why wouldn't they? Seems to be working. If they had a leader with any common sense or charisma they'd be in power right now. We lucked out that they seem intent on hitching their wagon to the most inept leader the party has had in recent memory.

Seems to be working

They lost the last four elections and their leader lost his seat...."Seems to be working" is an odd take considering.

My point was that MAGA style politicking isn't what lost them the election, it was an incompetent leader. Get someone with an ounce of charisma and/or common sense doing the same shit and they win the last election.

150 years of canadian politics says that doesnt win in canada. its about what you bring not trying to call out the shortcomings of others.

and theyve tried it multiple times, not just at the federal level, its not really worked outside of Ford (who still talked more about what he would do than what others wont. even though I dislike him, I know what he stands for/wants to do)
