Talk:Pierre Poilievre#rfc 06CCCAA

Chantal Hebert, known for her thorough political analysis, has said some things about Poilievre that would be informative if added to the wikipedia page.

She said: "There is just no one that this Conservative leader apparently has any respect for, except himself & a mirror. It shows on a daily basis." "He will lie whenever it suits his purpose"

The carbon tax was one of the primary positions that Pierre campaigned on but there's no mention of its updated status in the positions section. It seems incredibly relevant to include his new position on the act in light of Carney's changes.

I would like to change the names of Poilievre's Children. DDSBSTUDENT.CA (talk) 14:23, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

I assume this is a proposal to add the names of his children to the article. Generally, we do not include the names of non-notable children/minors in articles about their notable parent(s). This was previously discussed, see the archive here.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 17:03, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Change “is a Canadian politician” to “is a former Canadian politician” 2607:FEA8:5CE0:33:6D5F:A7B9:95BD:7A66 (talk) 22:50, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{not done}}: Poilievre has not indicated that he is retiring from politics entirely despite losing his seat. Most likely he will get another Conservative MP to step down and run in a by-election. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 23:26, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

::As of April 29th, 2025, Pierre Poilievre is not a Canadian Politician. He does not hold an elected seat at any level of government provincially or federally, and legally no longer holds the title of Leader of the Official Opposition. Wikipedia should represent the fact of reality, not speculation or opinion on the future. 66.51.132.3 (talk) 02:35, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Wikipedia respects what sources say. Do most sources now say he's leaving politics, or refer to him as a former politician? Last I checked he was still Conservative leader. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 06:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

"To become the Leader of the Opposition, a person must hold a seat in the House of Commons." - https://www.ourcommons.ca/procedure/procedure-and-practice-3/App07-e.html

The Conservatives remain the Official Opposition, and Poilievre remains Conservative leader, but he is not Leader of the Official Opposition unless he is elected to the House of Commons. WildComet (talk) 01:08, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:He can just take someone else's seat in a by-election if he likes....... as in have a by-election where a conservative candidate is guaranteed to win. Moxy🍁 01:44, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

::Does not impact the fact that he is no longer Leader of the Official Opposition. 66.51.132.3 (talk) 02:33, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:::The Conservatives are the official opposition. Poilievre is still the leader of the Conservatives. I think we are being hasty about removing that title from him in this article. Masterhatch (talk) 03:14, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

::Ah yes, the good old parachute. Aydoh8^{[what have I done now?]} 02:37, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:::However, he has not yet been "parachuted" into any riding, and thus does not hold an elected seat. Thus he is not legally the Leader of the Official Opposition. Wikipedia should represent actuality and reality, not speculation on future potentialities. As there has been no announcement about intentions, the article should be updated. 66.51.132.3 (talk) 02:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

::::This is clearly reflected in the article is there something you would like us to change..... or just here to make a comment? Moxy🍁 02:41, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

::Also, without doing additional research, it might not apply since Poilievre has already become the Official Opposition. It doesn't say anything about if being a seated MP is required to continue holding the post. Do you have anything that speaks to that? -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:55, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:::My thoughts exactly. Masterhatch (talk) 02:59, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Also, what the source does back is that the designation occurs when parliament is sitting. So the actual transfer of the Official Opposition Leader role to a a deputy leader/house leader would seem to occur when Parliament reconvenes, unless in the unlikely event that it is reconvened late and a by-election is called for Poilievre's benefit before then. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 06:57, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:@WildComet Technically, he ceased to be LOTO not after the election, but at the date parliament was resolved. LOTO is a post in parliament and as long as there is no parliament, there are no MPs and no LOTO. 87.74.74.173 (talk) 09:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

• {{checkmark}} Resolved - Indeed the leader of the official opposition must be an MP; the Conservatives have elected Andrew Sheer until Poilievre regains a seat. This is reflected in the article. Consigned (talk) 18:45, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
• :This isn't fully reflected in the article. Under "Personal Life", discussing where Poilievre lives, it refers to the reason he is living in Stornoway is because he is the "leader of the opposition". This is not accurate, [https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/pierre-poilievre-stornoway-ottawa-leader-opposition he is living there because Scheer is allowing him to]. This should be updated.
