Byelection to settle Poilievre's seat issue should be soon (www.cbc.ca)

Carney said a byelection should be held as quickly as possible to give Poilievre an opportunity to win a seat in the House of Commons, if that’s what the Conservative Party wants.

Poilievre lost his seat in Ottawa's Carleton riding on Monday after holding it for more than 20 years, so he's in the unusual position of being a party leader without a seat.

"I already told Mr. Poilievre that I will trigger a byelection if that is the decision of the Conservative Party," he said in French.

Then, in English: "I will ensure that it happens as soon as possible. No games, nothing."

Knowing that they can keep him according to their bylaws does not change my opinion.

My point is your opinion is not useful in the conversation as it is not based in the facts of the matter. You are free to keep an ignorant point of view but it changes nothing.

I also gave you a better way to have that opinion heard. Join the CPC if you care so much.

And regardless of my power you seem to be talking down to me and dictating how I should act.

If you believe I am talking down to you that is your problem to solve. I am not dictating anything, I am simply telling you why your opinion based on nothing substantial is not important here.

I voiced my opinion you voiced your disagreement. You are now tone policing because you assumed my knowledge on a topic.

I never disagreed with you. I said your opinion isn't worth anything in this conversation because it has no substance to back it up. Which is not "tone policing".

I do hope this cleared things up for you.
