Initial reaction to him staying on as leader: “What? Is he insane?”
The immediate followup reaction: “Oh right yes, we knew that about him already.”
Yeah, it's totally in character for him. He's an attack dog that takes everything he's technically entitled to and then a little bit. It doesn't matter if you're talking about the ability to lie, to be rude or sinking his own party in a quest for personal power.
And I had to check the outlet for the headline.
Beaverton or not, it is true. No one wants to be known as the company that hired the failed trucker convoy pm.
He for sure ends up spending the rest of his days in some shitty conservative think tank. Or Alberta provincial politics.
Will fit right into the IDU.
I have hired and fired before. If someone came to me with a resume that slim, would they even get the interview… nah.
He’s never made anything, his expertise is misleading rhetoric, so I guess if he were ever to get an actually productive job making things it would be advertising where he can VERB the NOUN all day.
Whatever he does next, it's entirely on name recognition - he won't need to submit a resume.
Which is good for him, because like you said, his resume wouldn't even land him an interview.
Unfortunately, "nearly prime minister" means he fails upward now. Someone will hire him just for being who he is.
