You forgot to flag this as sarcasm.
That said, you have to look at the comments - the number of people trying to defend him on this is amazing (amusing?)

It's all about which party someone is joining
It’s a little rich hearing lectures about “backroom deals” from Andrew Scheer.
He says Prime Minister Mark Carney shouldn’t be using backroom deals to gain power Canadians supposedly “refused” him in the last election.
But that’s not how Canada’s parliamentary system works.
In our system, governments are formed by who can command the confidence of the House of Commons. MPs have always had the right to cross the floor, support another party, or change affiliations if they believe it’s in the best interest of their constituents.
That isn’t corruption. It’s literally part of how our democracy functions.
What’s even more ironic is the outrage coming from Conservatives defending Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre himself only returned to Parliament because one of his own MPs stepped aside in what was essentially an internal deal so he could run in a safer seat after losing Carleton.
So spare Canadians the outrage about “backroom deals.”
If Conservative MPs are leaving the caucus, the real question isn’t what Carney is offering.
The real question is why they don’t want to stay.

An emoti might help. But what? Two lemons with a large gap between them?
Alright, except it's too big for an emoticon.

This is just part of Trump's illegal Mar-a-Lago classified documents horde.
Wasn't this severe violation of U.S. national security law over half a decade ago?
It'd be nice if they'd begin to enforce the laws against serious breaches of U.S. national security.
