He’s a sore loser like Pierre Poilievre!

his concession speech was actually quite reasonable. i wouldn’t say he’s a sore loser: he acknowledged the defeat, took responsibility, congratulated the PM and even said that the minister he lost to would do a great job for the local area
i hate the guy but you gotta give credit where credit’s due

It's his way of supporting truth in political advertising.

Is he going to step down, or is he going to force someone else to give up their seat?
