Poilievre you were defeated in Carleton. You have no right to be in Stornoway. Leave immediately please. It would be embarrassing to have to evict you. BTW you & your wife should not have voted in the same election box at the same time. That is illegal !

There needs to be accountability for spreading outright lies in parliament and during elections. I am unsure how this can happen when so many media outlets in Canada actively encourage these falsehoods. This must be addressed. Media accountability is just as important as political accountability.

Here’s a no-brainer going forward in Canada — change the law so that anyone seeking to be leader of a National Political Party should be specifically required to submit for and successfully receive top secret security clearance.
Call it the Poilievre Bill.
