While Ottawa was honked into emotional despair, Pierre was delivering coffee and donuts to criminals, many convicted ones.
@duanebratt.bsky.social:
This is not just a Liberal surge in the Ottawa area, but perhaps a backlash to Poilievre’s support of the Ottawa Convoy. Not sure that has been forgotten by residents.
@robluzecky.bsky.social:
As a resident of Ottawa, let me assure you that neither the convoy nor PP’s egregious support of it have been forgotten.
We remember when our city was laid to siege by a group of quasi-insurrectionists brandishing Nazi flags. We vividly recall when MPs from one party supported those thugs.
@alanmyers.bsky.social:
I live in Ottawa. We won’t be forgetting the pity party convoy anytime soon. What I also remember was my horror and shock upon learning Poilievre brought them some coffee and donuts. That was a Rubicon moment.
@caramartin.ca:
As an Ottawa resident I know I’ll never forget. Although I’d never in a million years vote for a wannabe authoritarian like Poilievre anyway.
@tammym2005:
We can’t vote for him because he stands for hate. Hate of Canada’s poor, disabled and every other marginalized group. No makeover or shield (wife and kids) can cover the fact that hate spews from every word, action and smug smile.

@sophieleon.bsky.social:
Bruce Fanjoy has already shown that he will work hard for the constituents of Carleton [many fingers x’d]
and the fucker Pee Pee worshippers and or staff/volunteers have been illegally destroying/stealing Bruce’s signs, and defacing them.
Bruce has worked incredibly hard, always reportedly smiling; he deserves to win the riding, Pee Pee does not. Harper’s litte pisser deserves to be punted out on his arrogant cruel lying anti-Canada Nazi ass.
@djb100.bsky.social:
I’d enjoy seeing PP thrown out. Knowing/hoping it’s because of his convoy support would double the fun!

Let’s hope they haven’t forgotten!!
That was just a taste of what PP will turn our country into !
@garamas.bsky.social:
Go Bruce!
@vivian38.bsky.social:
We have to wonder how such a weirdo has continued to be elected. He’s a lifetime politician with zero real world job experience. 20 years to accomplish nothing for his constituents or Canada. He’s voted against everything from feeding kids to dental care for seniors. ##WomenAgainstPoilievre Note carefully these important items Pee Pee voted against, including affordable housing, and voted for, including massive cuts to public health care and to ban abortions.
@mamacaps.bsky.social:
For several years, Bruce Fanjoy has shown his passion for representing Carleton. His dedication and commitment has not been matched anywhere in Canada that I have seen.
Best wishes #brucefanjoy and the team

It’s incredible that the defeat of the federal Conservatives will be partly due to the fracture between them & the provincial Conservatives.
If this happens & Poilievre is out, who do they look to? Doug Ford? Surely, the CPC can’t survive as a party if they lose in a major way this election.

Fanjoy seems like a really solid candidate – I followed him over at the bad place for a year before everyone made the leap here. He’s been working to earn the trust of the people of the riding.:
I’m not in the riding but I’d vote for him if I could!

I miss the Progressive Conservative Party. They weren’t my preferred party, but I never worried when they formed government. But since 2003, when Peter McKay allowed them to be taken over by Stephen Harper’s Canadian Alliance, the Conservatives have been unrecognizable.
@Chasingharmony1:
I’m a former PC voter, as is my husband. I also miss the former PC. They were a decent party with integrity. They would never stoop to the disgusting tactics we see today w/CPC and their supporters. This latest iteration is an abomination & an insult to Canada and Canadians.
@NotAssangesCat:
See – there’s the rub.
This “CPC” is not the old “Progressive Conservative Party”.
These fringers are Preston Manning’s Reformers & Alliance party faithful. Evangelical western separatists that put church over law.
They are fundamentally incapable of governing Canada fairly.
@DougEyolfson Apr 19, 2023:
Canada has been governed well by a number of Progressive Conservative governments. But none of them were led by people who resort to undermining our public institutions and the use of dangerous misinformation. Pierre Poilievre is a danger to our democracy.

His riding is far from downtown and quite rural. Folks there were more likely to hate Trudeau/empathize w/ the convoy members, but maybe not to be pro-51st State.

Ya, I live in his riding – a lot of “good ole rednecks” here! Rich soil for his rage farming, unfortunately. But Bruce Fanjoy has been working hard and winning people over. I’ve got my fingers crossed we beat PP!

Poilievre may lose his Ottawa-area riding as Liberals poised to sweep the region. I remember Craig Oliver, now 88, formerly of CTV telling me after the “apple eating episode” with reporter in Kelowna that Canadians will not vote for him.

Ha! The [apple] was exactly when I decided #neverpollievre It was the nasty look on his face while he gleefully humiliated someone trying to do their job.

I remember Craig Oliver very well, good for him! I’m in Carleton where we hope PP loses his seat, more so after the convoy.
Poilievre may lose his Ottawa-area riding as Liberals poised to sweep the region by Robert Fife, April 23, 2025, The Globe and Mail
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is at risk of losing his Ottawa-Carleton riding as the party scrambles to send in volunteers to save the seat he has held since 2004, two federal and two provincial Conservative sources say.
With several polls showing the Liberals poised to win the election, the loss of Mr. Poilievre’s riding would put the leader in a difficult position to hang on to his party post.
Former Conservative Senate leader Marjory LeBreton, who served in Stephen Harper’s cabinet and worked for every party leader since John Diefenbaker, said Mr. Poilievre can’t survive as leader if he loses the election.
“If Pierre has the same results as we had under Erin O’Toole and Andrew Scheer and he loses his riding as well, all hell will break loose. The party will fracture,” said Ms. LeBreton, who served in Mr. Poilievre’s Ottawa-Carleton riding association. She resigned over Mr. Poilievre’s support of the trucker convoy on Parliament Hill.
Party headquarters has for the past two weeks been sending workers into Mr. Poilievre’s riding, including experienced campaigners who would normally be assigned to tight races across the country, the four sources told The Globe and Mail.
The Globe is not identifying the Conservative sources, two of whom are from the Ontario Progressive Conservative party, who were not authorized to discuss the Conservative campaign or internal polling.
They say the Poilievre Conservatives are also deploying troops from the party’s Ottawa war room to Conservative-held ridings, a sign in the final days of the campaign that the party may be poised to lose seats to the Mark Carney-led Liberals. It is standard practice in the final week of the campaign for war-room staff to be sent to ridings that are either vulnerable or have the chance of an upset victory.
The two sources from the Ontario party, and a senior federal Liberal, all with access to internal polling, say that Mr. Poilievre is in a dead heat with Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy in Ottawa-Carleton, a riding the Conservative Leader won with 52 per cent of the vote in 2021 and 46 per cent in 2019.
The Globe is not identifying the Liberal source who was not authorized to discuss internal polling numbers.
The two sources in the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party say an internal poll completed Tuesday shows the Liberals hold a 53-per-cent advantage in Ottawa-area ridings,with the Conservatives at 31 per cent and the NDP at 10 per cent. The Doug Ford-led party did not poll in Ottawa-Carleton.
However, a senior federal Liberal insider said the Carney-led party has polled in the riding and Mr. Fanjoy is in a dead heat with Mr. Poilievre, at 48 per cent and 49 per cent, respectively. The Liberal polled 381 people and the results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
“It’s a sad day for the party that this has happened,” Ms. LeBreton said. Provincially, Ontario Conservative polling numbers have the federal Liberals at 50 per cent compared with 36 per cent for the Conservatives and 9 per cent for the NDP. The poll was of 3,000 Ontario voters.
Conservative Party spokesman Simon Jeffries played down concerns that Mr. Poilievre is in danger of losing the riding.
“No, of course not. No riding is ever taken for granted but we are confident Pierre Poilievre will be returned to Parliament to represent Carleton,” he said. “There are many politically engaged volunteers and staff across the capital region. They are being distributed to all Ottawa ridings.”
Pollster Nik Nanos, chief data scientist at Nanos Research, said Mr. Poilievre cannot stay on as leader if he loses the election, let alone his own riding.
“Let’s face it, there are going to be a lot of Conservatives who will not forget that he had a 27-per-cent advantage and people point to his personal lack of popularity,” Mr. Nanos said. “His message for change is popular but they are not enthusiastic about him.”The lying racist misogynist Piss Pants is despised across Canada, notably by females for obvious reasons. Jordan Peterson women-hating wanna-rape-and-get-away-with-it MAGAs love and worship the greasy creepy bloviating buffoon.
In the Ontario election, where Mr. Ford won a third majority government, the Conservatives lost four Ottawa-area ridings and barely held Mr. Poilievre’s provincial riding.
In the waning days of the federal campaign, Mr. Poilievre has been playing defence. He is scheduled to hold a rally in Saskatoon Thursday, a week after the Liberal Leader campaigned in the province’s largest city.
Saskatoon last elected a Liberal MP in 1993, but a recent provincial poll suggested a resurgence and the possibility of breaking the Conservative Party’s dominance of the city’s three seats. The Liberals last won a seat in Saskatchewan in 2015 in Regina.
The latest Nanos Research survey shows that nationally, the Liberals are in front at 44.1 per cent, followed by the Conservatives at 38.5 per cent and the NDP at 8 per cent.
The national survey of 1,200 adults is based on a three-day rolling sample of 400 individuals, ending Tuesday. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Canadians will elect a new government on April 28.
