A Reuters photographer snapped a picture of Trudeau later carrying a House of Commons chair out of the West Block chamber as he winds down his time in government. Under parliamentary rules, an outgoing MP can purchase a replica of their chair in the chamber.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was scathing in his assessment of Carney after Sunday's vote.

"He's just like Justin. He's just the same β€” same advisers, same staff. That will produce the same results," he said.

Sources say many of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's staff will be replaced.

Poilievre said Carney has a "disastrous history as an economic adviser" to Trudeau.

  • Carney has been advising Trudeau since Sept 2024, so a whole 7 months

PP is a small spoiled whiney child who gained a full pension at 31. His voice is something to be ignored at all times.

His critiques of Carney are driving me insane

They're just blatantly wrong and basically lies.

These guys have been working for 3 months to dig into Carney, and all they have is he gave Trudeau advice for a few months, and the investment company he worked for created a headquarters in the base of investment companies in the world.

I'm not joking when I just saw a YouTube ad of of Justin Trudeau when he was younger and then overlapping with Mark Carney and a voice saying Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney they're the same person and then it flashed up with the Buffalo project so I looked them up and they're absolute Western separatists who want to create the Buffalo pension plan where they take all of Saskatchewan and Alberta's taxes and then keep them to themselves so they can have their own little pension plan exactly like Danielle Smith tried to do in Alberta it's a complete sham. You will probably see that ad soon on your YouTube and be on the lookout for it because it's absolutely f****** disgraceful.

The Youtube ads are wild - did you know Jagmeet Singh was arrested? I didn't, and apparently neither does any reputable news source I can find.

I listen to PP as often as I listen to the orange butt plug ... which is never. Can't stand his whiney voice and his utter lack of knowledge of facts.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just like Trump his base doesn’t give a shit about facts they just like to have their balls and biases tickled.

I'm not surprised you're new here, but I am surprised it took you 27 days to run into him.

"CarboN TaX CaRneY" bro stfu he's literally getting RID OF THE CONSUMER CARBON TAX. So it only leaves big Corps footing that carbon levy AS THEY SHOULD. PP just fucking showed that he would have indeed, gotten rid of the entire tax and not just the consumer portion.

What a fucking joke, how could anyone still support this wet blanket of a conservative lol

Carney said in his speach that he would also reverse the capital gains tax increase. So Poilièvre now lost these following arguments:

-Carbon tax

-Capital gains tax

-Trudeau bad

What does he have left? He can't even attack Trump because a good part of his followers are Maga cultists.

PP is toast and he knows it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I want the conservative party to be banished to the basement of parliament never to return. I knew the moment PPbwas out with the convoy truckers egging them on and calling them "real Canadians" that he was a huge piece of shit

Dear Canada,

Willing to discuss a possible swap of hateful conservative political opposition leaders. We'll trade our big racist lurch motherfucker for your little annoying racist dickhead.

Your friend,

Australia

Look at how plush that chair is; I'm sure it has held onto every fart that has been pushed into it over the years. Political wind captured for future generations.

The photo is hilarious and iconic, and the CBC article is worth the read.

PP is sounding very bitter over Carney's success.

[–] PlaidBaron 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like how tue CBC quotes PP and then immediately fact checks him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

and then immediately fact checks him.

As any responsible journalist should.

It's alright taking stuff from the workplace as tradition as long as he actually pays for it after.

Retiring politicans are allowed to purchase their chair.

You can say what you want about Trudeau's reign, but his last months have been spotless.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

I’m calling it right now, he will be remembered very fondly
