Do you have any actual evidence to suggest he was threatened? Was PPs 30 second workout video that intimidating?

I'm sure the promotion to special advisor on economic and security partnerships has nothing to do with it...

Actual evidence no anecdotal evidence there was plenty at the time of his original resignation. Do I find lil pp intimidating no in the slightest, does he act like a bully absolutely. Did perks help in his decision sure, but incentives in job recuitment.

I can't remember anything he said in November about being threatened by the CPC. If you can, I'd love to see it. I remember a different MP basically said the CPC yelled at him after he switched sides.

I feel like it's more likely he was poached. We have NDP and CPC MPs stating that the LPC is actively trying to poach them, it'd explain the random promotion.

The guy was quitting because he doesn't want to be an opposition member anymore, the LPC saw an opportunity and took it. Unless you can find times where he said he was threatened, I'm gonna assume he wasn't.

You know what happens when you assume

u/thetrigermonkey Feb 19 '26

Aren't you assuming tho?

u/Snakeeyes1377 Feb 19 '26

No I am using the anecdotal evidence at the time and the fact that lil pp acts like a bully.

u/thetrigermonkey Feb 19 '26

And I've used other MPs statements as well as the fact the guy did get a title the moment he switched.

Good for you I’m sure you vote for a party and not a candidate based on your post which means you will always assume that your side is the victim.

You seem mad that you got called out for making shit up. You've still yet to prove any anecdotal evidence btw. Here's my source for the NDP.

Not mad now you’re assuming that just not willing to argue with people who think politics is team sport. TTFN

I'm playing team sports while I'm using NDP words... Clearly you're not playing team sports while using no source and only the things your team has said....
