Accountability in politics??? what is that like? (I have no idea why he's resigning and have no opinion on it)

@wokeupnew PERFORMATIVE. Accountability would have seen him resign the last time he prorogued parliament due to a scandal he threw others under the bus for. Accountability would have been him actually making electoral changes, which he campaigned on nearly a decade ago, instead of unilaterally deciding that the people don't want that (we do.)

...actual accountability would have been him stepping down weeks ago rather than taking time "to reflect" and only finally making an announcement after nearly half of his party has gone on record saying he needs to resign.

@avecigrec he should have stepped down in 2022

...I don't love the Liberals. At all. But he's fucked them over so badly at this point it that whoever steps up as leader now is absolutely fucked for the next election. Any Liberal that wants a hope in he'll of running the country is better off sitting this next election out and putting in for leadership on the next go 'round.

...at this point we are not only guaranteed a Conservative government after our next election, but they'll likely have a majority leadership too. So we see about to be on par with y'all for anti-immigrant, anti-trans, Make Canada Great Again politics. Huzzah!

@Hollywood That's being far too generous. He should have been gone after his first term.

@avecigrec sure but people actually voted him in for a second term
