And I think he needs to reflect on that over the summer.

But I think he's actually already done that.

I think the real question is with Conservative MPs.

Do they think that they can win under Pierre Poiliev?

I think that's the question they need to ask themselves.

And then what are they willing to do about it?

And so far, for most people, it's little.

But watching the debates in the House of Commons, there is some really interesting critiques of the Liberal government coming from MPs, from their local constituencies, from government cuts that the Liberals are making.

You kind of hear arguments that

actually sound like the liberals used to make with regards to Stephen Harper in terms of the liberals being anti-democratic.

Do the liberals believe in science?

They're cutting all these agricultural science programs across the country.

And at the moment, these MPs in the House of Commons are just repeating the lines and the slogans that are being fed to them by Pierre Poilio's office.

And whether or not they're willing to stick the knife in their leader's back, I really don't think most of them are there.

I think they need to ask themselves, what are they willing to do to save their own seats and their own skin and their connection with their voters?

And maybe that's...

making legitimate criticisms of the liberal government, pardon me, in the House of Commons, finding their own voice.

Maybe it's not sharing those AI-generated videos that you talked about at the beginning of the show.

Because they're the only ones that can potentially save their bacon if Prime Minister Carney decides to call a stamp election.

And I think that's the reckoning that a lot of them will do, especially in the barbecue circuit when connecting with constituents this summer.
