  1. Were you worried about the political future of Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was ousted in the federal election on Monday (fun fact: his former riding, Carleton in Ottawa, had the highest turnout in Ontario, at 81.57%)? Wipe your brow, because Alberta Conservative MP Damien Kurek has agreed to step down to force a by-election in his riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. Kurek has held the seat since 2019 and was re-elected on Monday with almost 82% of the vote. Here's more from @cbcnews

  2. For non Canadians.

    Mark Carney's Liberal Party did not achieve a 'majority' but the parties available to support his government going forward are 'progressive' parties. So Canada's Parliament has a progressive majority.

    Last two Parliaments were the same and progressive coalition provided us with programs like national $10/day child care, seniors and low income dental plan, and the initial stages of universal pharmacare.

  3. It seems that no one got what they wanted with the #CanadianElection. Liberals did not get their majority and loss seats in Ontario. Conservatives did not form government and their leader lost their seat. NDP loss their leader and party status, the BQ shrunk and no gains for the Greens. That said, it is probably the best outcome for Canadians. I am Excited to see where things go from here.

  4. The Canadian Liberal government will be another minority, @cbcnews projects. Here's their liveblog with all the news of the election, including a high vote share for the Conservatives, whose leader, Pierre Poilievre has lost his seat, and the resignation of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, who came third in his riding.

  5. Bravo Zulu #Canada! For some reason this song has been running through my head this morning. There's a lot of truth to the stereotype about Canadians being polite; this, particularly the last verse, is just about the politest and most Canadian way of telling the U.S. to f**k off that I can possibly imagine.

  6. This was a pretty astonishing election. Just a few months ago, it was a certain conservative landslide majority, and now Poilievre is unemployed. It swung on two things: first was Trudeau understanding that he needed to step down. The second, of course, was Trump’s betrayal of our long alliance and his threats of annexation. Poilievre, who had been using Trump’s slogans and language almost word-for-word for years, couldn’t separate himself in time. It was enough, as one commenter said, to scare NDP supporters into voting for a Bay Street banker.

    The Liberals understood when it was time for their unpopular leader to step down, but I wonder if the Conservatives will learn the lesson? I really think that they might have won this election, with any other leader.

  7. Woke up to find out the Con supporters/voter are calling the election rigged. I’m so fucking tired bro. I swear if PP starts throwing a fit… #canpoli #canadianelection

  8. Canadians waking up to news out of Canada’s Carleton riding cause #BlueSky to crash!

    Congrats to Bruce Fanjoy for making PP unemployed.

  9. The Liberals are a few seats shy of a majority. On the upside the NDP have enough seats to give the Liberals 172. They can also go to the BQ. And the Cons. Does this sound familiar? Business as usually the last 8 years. It's a government that must govern for Canada and Carney is the non-ideologue that will find the Canadian middle way based on the numbers. Each party can get what it wants if it waits in line like good Canadians. It's a very dry, crisp Canadian government that should please all when it sits except for the right wing haters. Well, they can choke on it. Real Cons, as opposed to the national Wild Rose party that pretends to be the storied Conservative Party of Canada, should be secretly pleased a TRUE progressive conservative is now PM. I get it, people grew tired of Trudeau flouncing and virtue signalling in the face of real issues. Carney is not Trudeau. He's all business but can throw on a hoodie and dance like a happy dad at the neighbourhood block party and doesn't expect headlines about what a fab guy he is or a best selling calendar at Christmas time. Steady on Mark "the rock" Carney.

  10. 1 BMO on the impact of the #CanadianElection on #markets: “For now, markets are little changed despite the lack of clarity. #Canadian #yields are slightly higher on the long end, with 10s hovering at 3.19%. 🧵

  11. Pierre Poilievre has finally lost his seat after 21 years. Experts say nothing this satisfying has happened since the Cardassians were kicked off Bajor. Twisted little creep. Shuttles are now boarding, fucko. Begone. ~Capt. SP #CanadianElection #PierrePoilievre #StupidName #StupidMan #SPO

  12. Yay, Canada! The Liberals returning is one of the great comebacks of politics anywhere in the world - even if they don't quite nail a majority.

    FPTP is dogshit system (thanks for not dealing with that when you could, Trudeau) but I must admit it does make for some dramatic viewing. 👀 at Carleton.

    Even from across the Atlantic this is gripping.

  13. CW: USPol, CanadaPol, Trump

    Another milestone for Trump. The first US President to lose an election in a completely different country. #canada #CanadianElection

  15. I awoke this morning to find some good news and some bad news in the #CanadianElection. But this is my favourite bit. Bye bye, PP.

    And yes, I know, not all the votes have been counted. It could change. But give me this moment.

  16. There's so much interest in the #CanadianElection that the #CBC election results page carries this advisory: "Due to a high volume of traffic, you may see a lag in results or numbers disappearing. We’re working on a fix right now."

    Go #Canada!

  17. I don’t think Elections Canada tracks how ballots are spoiled (not just how many). Pity. #CanadianPolitics #CanadianElection

  18. #Canadians: I'd like to hear your opinions

    What do you think of the 🟧 #NDP losing lot of seats?

    And why are the 🟩 Greens not doing well?

  19. Liberal minority. Brush up on your French everyone. High speed rail project to Rimouski? Viva le BLOC Québécois! #CanadianElection

  20. I find it pretty irritating how election results are breathlessly reported as if the commentators are witnessing some kind of struggle happening in real time. “The tides have turned!” “The challenger is catching up to the incumbent!”

    No. None of that is happening. The contest is already over, and the results are decided. What’s the point in reporting anything until the votes have been counted?

    (Yes, I know, to sell advertising. But my point stands.)
