Complete interprovincial trade by July?
Is the guy in the blue suit reading a book behind that sign or something?
The numbers for Fanjoy have been holding above 2300 for over an hour, as writing this, 219 of 266 polls.
now only 3.5% apart at 225/266 polls. Could we skunk Mr Polyester?
“That’s not an applause line.” lol
The comment about Fanjoy potentially winning! Oooh roasted!
I appreciate Jason Kenney calling out maga North and The People’s Party.
That’s interesting to hear from Edmonton. The UCP alt right outcome is a thing because of the dirty party merger under him, but he was starting to speak out like this while still in power, not afterwards. He recognized that the Wildrose were eating them alive from within, barely won a confidence vote at 51%, and then rage quit to a cushy job with Atco unrelated to deregulated utilities I’m sure.
But this might mean he really was just a useful idiot instead of part of Maple MAGA. I’ll give him credit where it’s due.
Though I’m pretty sure that MAGA north pivoted to the CPC the same way the NDP broke for the Liberals.
“He’s earned his right to stay as leader.”
Dude it’s not even guaranteed that he’s keeping his seat.Justin Trudeau glances at Pierre Poilievre and asks “First time?”
PP lost his seat, didn’t he?
he did
He may well have, lol.
Hopefully the joker is out.
Still awake for this.
I imagine the Conservatives are going to blow up into civil war. By any metric, the Conservatives had this in the bag. The Liberals had been in power for long enough for the public was getting tired of them. Sure, Trump’s talk of annexing Canada wasn’t predictable however the Conservatives had a golden opportunity to pitch themselves as the “National Unity” Party and fucked that up.
Sadly, the Conservatives are just going to double down on the same terrble policies and just ride the cultural war to victory.
Carney can keep him waiting 8 months and (of that’s what happens) probably should to calm things down in the Commons.
why would they do that for a leader that went from certain majority to losing his own seat??
If this election has shown us one thing, it’s that the Conservative party is willing to ignore evidence to double-down on a bad idea.
Like the Americans they are party over country. The country has major economic issues. I don’t need to hear the prattle on about shit being “woke” or whatever. I need them to provide actual solutions. The modern conservative party like their American counterparts can’t govern, they just go on about bullshit and attack the other side.
I’m literally too excited to sleep haha! We’re gonna have a productive government that will catch up to the most advanced countries in the world. We will keep and expand upon dentalcare and pharmacare.
I hope so 🙏 Good work and goodnight!
Sleep well friend! Let us dream for the future!
What a terrible song.
What, you don’t like country-gospel with awkwardly rammed in mood board words?
“We denied a Liberal NDP coalition.”
NDP immediately gains a seat, allowing coalition.It’s not even a coalition.
Coallitons are when the party with the most seats (but not a majority) doesn’t form government because the other parties all work together to form government.
When the party with the most seats (but not majority) forms government with the help of another party on non confidence votes , it’s just a minority government.
They just try to scare people with the coalition talk to try and make it seem nefarious, such as when it almost happened to Harper, but it’s a legitimate part of how our government works.
There was a point while votes were being counted tonight, we could have theoretically had a con+bq coalition government.
Edit: and even as of right now, the cons+bq+ndp could form a coalition, but I can’t imagine those 3 parties ever working together other than to trigger an election via vote of no confidence.
Not quite true. Coalitions are typically starting with the party with the largest vote count to invite others into coalition talks. If they find willing partners that make up a majority and there are enough commonalities between all the coalition partners they enter into a contract. And each party in the coalition participate in the government with ministers and everything.
And the BQ wouldn’t form a coalition with the current CPC, they would need to get their house in order and move left a lot for that to happen.
There was a point where the BQ could have been the only party keeping the Liberals in power though, the NDP and Greens didn’t have enough seats to help them pass a vote, but I just woke up and we’re back to the same situation as before the election… Would be funny if the Liberals get 171 and the Greens also hold the balance of power.
Yeah. The staying on as leader thing can be put down to the “close loss” speech being written ahead of time. Not sure why he didn’t change that part, though.
He could still get his seat, technically.
That was awesome.
Singh just stepped down and hopefully the change will mean more potential for the NDP in the next election.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and I fully wish that we could have a country and a political environment where we could support and stand by a visible minority to represent a major political party. But I have to temper that with the knowledge that our country is not fully ready for that kind of person. As much as we would like to believe that we could become a more progressive, open and accepting culture, we are still not there and it will be a few more decades or lifetimes before that can become a reality.
It would be more possible if we actually had an election system that was more representative of our people’s wishes … Proportional Representation would make it more possible to have major political leaders and politicians who represented visible minorities.
I always liked Singh as a person, but I feel like NDP needs some change. They are a party focused on throwing shade on other parties. They need their own identity.
I would honestly love to see Wab Kinew take a run at the federal leadership.
Regardless of how he may have turned his life around, I don’t think Canada is ready for a federal leader with a previous criminal record.
Yeah, THAT’S the thing standing between them… [At this time Jerkface began rolling their eyes, and had not yet stopped by the time the comment needed to be submitted.]
I genuinely think that would be far more of a problem than him being indigenous, if that’s what you’re implying. If he were running for the CPC then yeah of course racism would be a much bigger issue.
Wab Kinew seems to be doing well. But I don’t know if MB would give him up.
I like and respect him as a politician, but is he NDP-leaning? He strikes me as more centre.
He’s literally the NDP premiere of Manitoba…
Yeah, he’s doing great!
That smile of his creeps me out.
No way. His smile is contagious. It just seems odd because its so rare to see a politician with a genuine smile and not a carefully crafted one.
Singh resigns as party leader.

Comment: Thy have counted 6709 votes in the past 30 minutes or so. This is the riding with 1 meter long ballots. What the fuck.
This might be the most interesting thing so far, actually, with the orange-blue swing votes in second place.
Poilievre could leave this as a freshly minted lobbyist, his first normal job.
Iirc he’s got a 5 yr wait before he can register as a lobbyist.
That would make sense. Hmm. A desk job at Harper & Associates I guess, then.
Hopefully it’s in the American regime and we never see him again. Opps…was that out loud
