From what I've read, Canada DOESN'T designate nazis as terrorists.

Chickens DO come home to roost, "leaders", INEVITABLY.

Correct the problem!

He's trying to be disruptive in the same way as politicians in the Trump regime, and there's probably a reason for that. Maybe the same reason he won't get his security clearance?

He’s a piece of shit. Got voted out last election and then made another politician resign so he could run a “safe” conservative riding in Alberta. He is a garbage person with zero redeeming qualities who has never passed a piece of legislation despite being a lifelong politician never having any other job. He’s a grifter who has sucked off the taxpayer tit his entire career. He lives in taxpayer subsidized housing . He will never be Canadas Prime Minister. We call him PeePee, or Millhouse or just “massive douchebag”.

He got voted out AND lost his riding.

For those in the US, it's the equivalent of a governor with presidential aspirations blowing a 30 point lead to lose the election, then immediately getting voted out of his governorship, only to then ask Greg Abbott to step down so he can run for governor of Texas while living in DC.

More like a senator than a governor

Tiny PP is a piece of shit. I had hoped Canada had cut off its PP earlier this year but Nazis are like hydras

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 5 points 10 hours ago

well we did. and then one of his lackeys who did win in some butt fuck no where town decided to step down so PP could have it. I mean the guy not only lost the PM race but also lost his home riding so he quite literally had to move somewhere else and have that place handed to him.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It's never a bad day to punch a nazi.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 21 hours ago

Milhouse is already very punchable, Nazi or not. So sick of seeing him everywhere.

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

It seems that Beaver Trump wants to invoke the tired, old "But socialism in 'national socialism!'" trick. Surely, the same logic applies to Deutsche Demokratische Republik. I remember coming across Poilievre during the WE Charity scandal. I'm not Canadian but I really like their Fifth Estate documentaries and their coverage on the aforementioned scandal caught my eye. In a separate video, Poilievre grills the two heads of the operation. This seemly obscure Canadian PM suddenly become Canada's ~~favorite~~ favourite politician and possibly the next prime minister. But it soon become clear that Poilievre was just another right-wing, Trump-esque populist.

"A Canadian politician"

Isn't this guy the head of their conservative party?

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

After he lost in the election,

Some rando step aside and give him his conservative seat.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Also he didn't even get the re elected in his own riding

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Hey now, it could have been the liberal party. They've made the "Whoopsie!" of endorsing fascism before.

He's a f--king dumbass. Lot's of us Canadians refer to him as "Piss Pants" or "Pee Pee".

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Thats Little Pee Pee, thank you very much.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sadly, that doesn't disqualify him from holding office.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

The fact that he can't get Canadians to vote for him, however does.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.social 78 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Man we had such a nice break from him since the election.

So if socialism is bad because it's in the name of Nazis, then democratic republics for the people must be pretty horrible too, going by the DPRK.

While we're cherry-picking, the Kingdom of Norway is consistently one of the best countries to live in across several metrics. So clearly we should go back to kingdoms, because it's in the name. Sometimes the old ways are best XD

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

There's a much more-fundamental example:

Socialism is when parents shelter, clothe, & feed, their children, who don't have earnings to shelter/clothe/feed themselves.

Every parent who feeds their babies is demonstrating socialism, no matter what their politics purport to be.

Keep the framing universal, & that guts the gaslighting's position MUCH more effectively.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Thanks for sharing that idea! I appreciate what you’re getting at: that basic care (food, clothing) embodies the tenet of equality in socialism. However, the example of a parent feeding a child doesn't quite capture the power-relations, freedoms, and systems aspects of socialism. I don't think we really want to say a master feeding/clothing their slave or a king feeding/clothing a favorite court jester is really "demonstrating socialism". Socialism is about how society as a whole arranges ownership, production, and resource distribution (i.e. collective ownership of the means of production). It's a counter to capitalism.

Parental relationships are, ironically, a special case where limiting freedoms and greater power disparity are justified in most egalitarian systems. We usually don't give children ownership over the means of production.

Good formal description: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/socialism

He has to be the worst candidate they have put forward in a long time, carney is pissing me off but this guy is dangerous. As soon as he came back he started in in immigrants and his supporters started up their racist protests

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Shut him up now or you'll be like us in less than a decade.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He's just the latest in Rupert Murdoch's line of pets he has trying to spread his shit across Canada.

Harper was one too but thankfully his plan to implement Sun news, which would have been a news channel that was the Canadian equivalent of Fox, was never brought to fruition.

But sadly much of rural Canada drinks the Fox news firehose.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Dont brush it off. Look at us to the south. Dont brush this off. Chase these people with pitch forks and torches until they are forced to make their own shantytown in the wilderness. It won't go away they have to be forcibly removed.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's already far deeper than him.. he's just what bubbled to the surface in that pot.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Canada being a racist country pretending to be progressive is its biggest flaw, I grew up hearing about how perfect Canada is, and then I got older and learned about residential schools and genocide and how they have historically treated people like me. Now im old and I see a country that doesn’t care that its citizens can’t afford food or rent or a future. It was all a lie.

Having said that, pp represents the people who caused all the misery and hate for centuries

Ah yes, gloss past the fact that they were nationalists before they were socialists, even if you take their name at face value.

Fucking Polievere. Every time I think he can't get any more unlikable.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I thought this guy was supposed to be smart?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I think he's banking on his followers being not-zo smart
