There’s one very important takeaway from the election results (see image) coupled with the news that Pierre Poilievre was voted out of parliament by his former constituents.

The election results show that enough people (about half) want change and are generally OK with the style of proposals the Conservative party usually brings. But Pierre himself is not wanted. I think people got wise to the fact that he’s a far-right reactionary xenophobe who’ll just dismantle the country to benefit a few.

The Conservative party must get rid of Poilievre; drop him as party leader, maybe kick him out of the party. It’s the only way they’ll be competitive again, the only way they can hope not to alienate and sow hate and division like Pierre did.
