He's not a cowboy redneck, he's a rich high society career politician from Ottawa pretending to be a cowboy to hopefully win more than an embarassignly low percentage (70%+) of the vote in the most conservative riding in Canada.
To be fair, this riding is almost entirely cowboy hat wearing rednecks. The funny part is that Pierre is a member of the political elite class these people claim to hate, but they'll vote for him anyway
I think a big part of it is there is a lot of propaganda in the country with conservatives being "fiscally responsible". Their candidates rarely are fiscally responsible, for example conservative premier doug ford wants to rip out new bike lanes, spend money in court making bike lanes illegal, and promote car dependancy.
The conservatives also deny climate change and an upsetting amount of canadians deny climate change despite the recent wildfire smoke blanketing the country.

Well, hopefully not. He did lose, after all.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 364d
He lost and not only left his riding but left his entire province to move to one more likely to support his views.
If that doesnt scream "for the people" what does? /s

I just do not get why any Canadians would even consider him after what a disaster Trump has been for the United States. He's Canadian Trump.

Too bad it’s not “who can look like the biggest dork with a cowboy hat on”

Idk he has some stiff competition.

I'm convinced at this point that he practices smiling in the mirror. His entire face is darksided. These thumbnails creep me out.

I snuck into his house and captured this gem

Dude was too much of a coward to run in Calgary, the only bit of Alberta he has a nominal connection to.
CircaV@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 363d
LOL if he gets less than 70% in this by election win, he’s a goner as leader.

He will likely win his riding. There is a chance of it not being lopsided though.
Cyclist@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 364d
In rural Alberta? It'll be lopsided.
West_of_West@piefed.social · 6 pts · 364d
Him winning less than 65% of the vote would be embarrassing. I think the last dude won with something like 85%
Cyclist@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 363d
Either way he's an embarrassment. I can't, for the life of me understand how he's still leader.

Not very crucial. It's a very secure Conservative riding.
