New Canadian Politics Thread

[CH1]

Voting efficiency is biting the Liberals as hard as the Conservatives tonight.

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that in ON

 

[CH1]

Man my riding went hard CPC. I guess I'll move.

Or vote more often

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah, given where we were a few months ago I'll happily take this. I would lying though if I said that I was cool with the amount of Canadians who seemed entirely happy about electing Poilievre as our next PM. If the CPC were running a functioning human being like O'toole, I would get it. But Poilievre is the emptiest fucking suit I've seen Canadian politics in my life. Makes Andrew Scheer look like a man of substance and deep experience.
Fucking embarassing that it's this close.

The Pennsylvannia thing hit me right between the fucking eyes. It's closer to being true than I want it to be.

And given what the polling showed, minority was my bear case. Some relief that it wasn't a leafy night but not particularly happy either.

That’s Preston selfishly thinking about his own riding!

Yeah, we're pretty pretty close to the worst case scenario tonight given the data we had in hand entering the day.

I'll take it. My head understands that it's a victory, but it's a bad minority if it stays this way. We needed to give our government a mandate and we just didn't. We chose fucking chaos at a time we can't afford it.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Lots of hedging by the CBC. They really have to idea about advanced votes.

 

[Preston]

And despite the math not mathing, there was a small part of me that expected a pp win and a sens 4-3 comeback. At least we avoided one of those.

We're seriously getting into the point where enough polls are in that this is a real possibility.

 

[WellPlayed]

Get to Lib + unofficial NDP 172, and PP loses his seat, and I’ll call it a win.

50% will get you through high school.

Yeah, that's this meme for me tonight

Yeah. I'll take the former with PP loss as a bonus.

Part of my want PP to stay though. If the cons find their own Carney, next election in two years is going to be a bloodbath.

I had less than 50% in my Chemistry class (48%) in high school but he said "listen kid, technically I should fail you but if you promise NEVER to take a Chemistry course again, I'll give you a pass".

 

[CH1]

If CONS stay at 150, that’s a nice pick up of 29 seats
