We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

    It’s about 3 seconds of googling to find out that there will be byelection in Battle River-Crowfoot, which went 81.8% in favour of the Conservative candidate. Polievre will run there, get swept in, and pretend that he represents Canadians.

          The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. Whether or not something is easily confirmable

            I don’t think a comment asking for a source is very interesting conversation.

              I don’t think a comment stating that you don’t think a comment asking for a source is very interesting conversation is very interesting conversation, yet here we are.

              Only if you respond with a link and no explanation.

              What would you prefer? No sources? Talking only about insubstantial things that don’t need them? Obviously you’re here to talk about something.

                What would you prefer?

                For someone to take 3 seconds to Google something before asking for a source. Why is that so controversial?
