Look at how close it was. Canada may want to start stomping down the Trump wannabes now or they will be where the US is in about 10 years (or sooner).
An electoral reform wouldn't hurt.
This is my main thought. Once the immediate threat of Trump is past, the country will return to the global standard of "elect whoever wasn't running things when everything got worse". I hope the liberals see that writing on the wall and put electoral reform in place so that the smaller parties stand a chance and aren't all killed by the usual "strategic voting" nonsense.
I really think it's Canada's best shot at not electing a Conservative majority when the party seems to be at peak crazy. I'd really rather not count on them returning to the center over the next 4 years when global politics is more divided than I've ever seen.

I think "stomping down" is the wrong phrase to use. Regardless, I have a couple in my family... Asking them "how do I change your mind" or "what would need to happen for you to even consider the other side" has shown me some people can't be helped.
I wanted to vote NDP but I felt I had to vote Liberal to negate their PP vote. My riding is liberal this time and I'm super happy.
The ones that can't be reasoned with; They have to be stomped down. We tried to be nice to the maggots, but it didn't work.
Yes. This is sadly the case. Nothing else will work. You have to yell at them and harass them. Call them stupid children. Stop doing any form of business with them. For fucks sake, if they are family members cut them out of your life and tell them exactly why you are doing it.
This is the only way you could possibly reform them.

Hopefully this will signal to the Conservatives that Canadians don't have any use for a demagogue who attributes the world's ills to "wokeness," but I'm not holding my breath.
Conservatives have more seats now so thatβs definitely not the lesson theyβre learning. Probably this just means that they need to pick a rural district to run their party leader
PP gone forever? Or is CPC somehow going to give him another seat so he can stay leader?
Yes, that's where the drama will unfold next. Will there be a civil war, and how many factions will be involved?

The latter. This ghoul is not going away.

So, now what for Poilievre?
Maybe the knives come out and he's forced out as Conservative leader. I mean, he had a 20 percentage point lead over the Liberals and lost it. That has to piss them off. All he needed to do is do what Doug Ford did and stand up for Canada and against Trump.
But, if he doesn't step down, where does he get someone to step down so he can run in a by-election? If he wants to stay near Ottawa, he'll really have to move somewhere rural. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who actually likes rural people or rural life very much. Or, he could move to Alberta. Lots of safe Conservative ridings in Alberta, some are even in urban areas. But, will they want a guy who is the very model of a carpet-bagger? A politician who has never had a job outside of politics, not just from "Ottawa" meaning the federal government, but who has literally lived in Ottawa(ish) for years?
I hope they ditch him. I'm sure the conservative party could do a lot worse, but there's also a chance they could find a leader who has actually done something with their lives outside politics, and who has their own ideas, not just reheated culture war crap from Canada's Shorts and just shouting down anything the Liberals suggest.
He lost his seat. He's toast. He'll be writing op-eds for Postmedia in a month.
He will get a $20,000 per month for life pension, unless he renounces suckling at the teat of the public purse and gets a real job.
So, he will get a $20,000 per month for life pension.

It got closer overnight.
Well done.
Please let Dutton (also, Voldemort, Potatohead etc, Australian conservative leader) be next :)
As a woman, a lesbian, a disabled person, and someone who thinks all humans deserve rights.. I am so relieved. I voted Liberal for the first time in my life, and was glad to do it - Carney makes me hopeful again for the first time in a long time.
Carney is a neoliberal banker. This guy has abused every tax loop hole in the book. He's still better than the fascist conservatives, but I won't be getting my hopes up.
