    The point is not to unpack why PP is a problem. The point is - that he is a problem. I gave one good reason earlier, that suffices. He’s a hypocrite.

      If we’re debating what “the point” is, it looks to me like pettiness is the point. Why else would someone get emotionally invested into an issue that isn’t even bothering Poilievre’s own personal political rivals?

      Rich kids are still children and not political pawns. And hypocrisy is the least of my concerns around the party shamelessly espousing shitty values, but a meaningful concern around the parties and leaders that claim to be better.

      If you’re so deeply invested in extracting your pound of flesh, endorse making him pay rent between leadership positions. Alternatively, just choose an issue to champion that is considerably more…productive.
