      Dude is going to be holding down a seven figure no-show lobbying job for nine months, retake his seat in the next election, and be right back on the warpath by 2030.

      People like this only ever fall upwards.

        He will do the normal thing. Become a director to a company for a few years then turn to being a lobbyist and or write a mediocre autobiography.

        He’s conservative. It’s a small club of rich people trying to fuck over the others and PP is their custom built celebrity for their cause - if he doesn’t have too much money then the people paying for his campaign do and bought him his bespoke Alberta cowboy look.

        As soon as he receives his cheque from the indian government, he is.
        Eitherway, MPs have a salary of 200k, and can have 60% of that from his pension (source: chatgpt). It may not be “rich” rich, but far enough not to have to work his entire life. Too bad he won’t have the special amount for the Prime Minister, though…

            He actually probably doesnt. He has been making top bracket income for the past 20 years. The last few years he has been making just shy of 300k with his housing+everything else provided to him as opposition leader. In 10 years he can start collecting one of the biggest pensions in government (behind Trudeau).
