Canada

Huge sigh of relief

I really thought that 51st state of the US push at the end there would save conservatives. Everyone knows how badly Canadians want to lose their independence, culture, healthcare, etc.

Seriously though, the next government should probably start planning for the refugee camps it’ll need on the southern border in the coming years. Or maybe build a wall.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay too much conservative support here for my comfort. For a party to drop a platform as shit as theirs and have governing documents as horribly written and contradicting as theirs to STILL GET ALMOST HALF the votes? What. The. Fuck.

Merci beaucoups de Quebec for saving us all from what could have been a real bad 4 years, but let's not get comfortable.

Now just fingers cross Elizabeth May keeps her seat, we must have at least one green seat

Anyone listen to PP's speech? How is bro still saying he'll stay on as leader after pulling an Atlanta Falcons

Also, this election proved to me that the Quebec hate is so forced. Push comes to shove they know what elbows up means, unlike Alberta and Sask.

Seems early, but they usually have a pretty good reason to call things when they do.

You've put a tourniquet on the wound. You won't bleed to death. Now you have to face the grim work of amputating the infected limb.

Use this time to marginalize conservative influence in any way you can. Obstruct every single thing they attempt to do. Keep attacking and never stop. Drive them into the margins of society where they belong. Do not give them a single inch (or centimeter, if you will.)

What is happening in the US should serve as a cautionary tale of what happens when the disease that is conservative culture goes unchecked. You have the advantage. Go on the attack and don't stop until they stay down.

way to go canada!

australia’s turn next in less than a week and our polls look roughly the same… cross your fingers for us!

Trump has to be an absolute kiss of death for political candidates.

1am (EST) and 1 of the 3 major party leaders has lost his seat (Singh). Bruce Fanjoy (LIB) has a 2500 vote lead over Poilievre in Carleton with 68% of the votes counted, so it's looking fairly likely he'll lose too.

I wonder if there has ever been an election where this many parties have changed leaders in such a short span of time. First Trudeau stepping down, then the NDP and Cons both having their leaders lose their seats. The only party leaders who survived the election and kept their seats are Elizabeth May and Yves-François Blanchet.

Been interesting to watch the seats swinging, it's going to definitely be close all night.

I'm curious how Polievre will do in his own riding, he is against a liberal Bruce Fanjoy who has actually done pretty well for himself and the early voting was counted first in that riding which had Bruce up a few votes so it'll be a matter of time to see how it actually goes since the early vote was said to be largely Liberal supporters.

Edit: oh my god he did it, he lost his seat to Bruce.

Awesome!

Still troubling to know how many of my countrymen are conservative filth though.

What's funny is that the way things are going the Bloc might be the only party willing to work with the Liberals AND that will have enough seats to hold the balance of power. I wonder if we might see the CPC split in two so the progressives can work with the Liberals...

Interesting situation right now at about midnight. 172 needed for a majority, projections say they'll be about 10 short. NDP is projected to get about 10 seats, which might not be enough to bring a Liberal/NDP coalition up to 172. Greens are down to 1 seat, leaving only Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois.

What happens if the Liberals and Conservatives (and Green) can't form a coalition to hit 172. Would the Liberals actually make a coalition with the Bloc Quebecois? What could they agree on? What would the Bloc demand?

Thanks God that my riding is no bellwether

lmfao such a conservative stronghold here.
