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.
Well, I did it. I feel dirty, but I voted liberal. Not that it matters here. First time ever voting liberal, but the cons platform is just so damn terrible. And my usual ndp vote for the past couple times doesn't even have a hope.
A noble sacrifice.
It's looking like people like you made the difference, based on the vibe of the early results. It's close.
Edit: It's pulling apart as things go on.
NDP needs to drop Singh. Conservatives need to drop PP.
Seeing as they voth lost there seat pretty sure that choice has been made for them
Yup. Here's hoping the selection process goes slow so the Cons can't cause trouble for a bit.
This liberal guy on CBC is super fucking annoying. He doesn't need to be campaigning on the results show. JFC
Yeah way too eager, super annoying. The woman beside him is visibly annoyed with him it's pretty entertaining
I may as well get to bed, but I wish I would know before if the NDP will have enough seats to prop up an LPC minority. I'd hate to see the LPC+NDP be one or two seats short, leaving the CPC/BQ with enough votes to stymie everything. Right now it's sitting at 170 combined, need 172 or more to make it work.
LPC+NDP could be 171 and be ok on current numbers, with the 1 GRN projected reaching a majority without needing BQ. Still...they're 1 short of that.
We've still got those advance polls keeping things in flux, though. A Liberal majority hasn't even been ruled out.
Maxime Bernier lost his seat. Yves- François Blanchet BQ has kept his seat but the BQ is poised to lose 12 seats.
What did the BQ do loose so much favor? As usual I am out of touch with Qc goings-on.
Independence is not a priority with the current geopolitical situation. Plus a lot of people want to make sure PP doesn't get in.
Anti-Conservative sentiment in Quebec. The Bloc is never going to hold a majority, so strategically at this time the Liberals were the obvious choice to keep the Conservatives out of power. Among other things.
I appreciate Jason Kenney calling out maga North and The People’s Party.
Though I'm pretty sure that MAGA north pivoted to the CPC the same way the NDP broke for the Liberals.
Canadians, what's the deal with "official party status"? I gather from the CBC that you need 12 seats to achieve it, but what does it actually do, what's the reasoning behind it, and do people generally like this system?
For context, here in Australia party status is decided pre-election, and only requires you have 1500 active members, or at least 1 incumbent. To my knowledge the only thing it gives you here is more flexibility with respect to campaign financing.
It's time allotment in the HoC and money for staff, research, etc. Not much more.
Can't believe the CBC Live news coverage .... just a moment ago, they asked Conservative Jason Kenny what his thoughts were on resource development in regards to First Nations
What the hell do you think he's going to say
It's like asking a Irishman what his thoughts are of potatoes
