        CBC shows P.P. as defeated.

        Singh also was defeated.

        The co-leader of Green too. Jonathan. May still held hers.

        Oh an Maxime didn’t get a seat either :)

          A little sad about Singh, but c’est la vie.

          Greens: well that’s a result.

          Fuckin perfect that Maxime didn’t get a seat AGAIN.

            I think it was Singh’s time TBH. He brought the NDP as far as he could. Hopefully the new leader will do better.

            Well you could say they didn’t want the kind of change where the whole country gets gutted and sold for parts.

              Perhaps I’m a cynic, but a hell of a lot of us do want that apparently. I’m stoked about the lib minority, but saddened by how many of us still voted conservative.

                Yeah it’s way too close for comfort, but it isn’t realistic to completely change the political landscape in one day or one election. I think with a bit of context, this is a huge win for the liberal party. A few short months ago they were projected to be completely wiped out at this election due to the previous leader’s unpopularity. That has not happened, and they have emerged with a new and recognisable leader in what looks to be a significantly stronger position. The important thing now is to limit the damage, and take back control of the narrative imo. Can’t get complacent - this is a clear step in the right direction, but needs to be followed up. Peace and congratulations I must say x

                  I have some cautious… optimism? Eh maybe the wrong word, but: The sudden change in polls because of Trump isn’t going to evaporate easily. The man and party can’t shut up, and “if” (when, IMO) all the Nazi fears come true the youth bleeding over to conservatives will be watching too for the next 4 years.
