Will the Conservatives force someone to resign just to give him a seat?
Probably, that's pretty on-brand

Seems likely, but he's pretty weak now. I assume the knives are going to be out.
Yup, even more on brand.
They eat their wounded.
Jagmeet is already, gone, I think PP isn't long for politics going forward. I think this is great, we need fresh blood and I hope CONs realize their strats aren't gonna cut it.
I don't want the CONs gone from Canada, I want them to reform into a party worthy of respect -- just differing in opinion of how to progress Canada forward.
I'd love that. I don't like a lot of the laws the Liberals have passed, especially the misguided way they tried to tax Facebook and Google to promote Canadian news. It would be great if there were a sane alternative party that actually had ideas for how to do things differently. The current conservatives are focused on culture war BS, lowering taxes while handing more money to corporations, and if Harper's reign was any guide, muzzling scientists and giving away rights Canadians enjoy.
Heβs gonna force himself through the gate to parliament once again.
It's going to be the seat from thr 25yo that the Cons stole from their experienced incumbent.
What a mistake that would be for them.

This result is so close that it's entirely possible that Trump's "Truth" this morning with his 51st state threat resulted in PP losing his seat.
Given how the CPC turnout was well above expected nationally, it seems more likely this was a result of the hard work Fanjoyβ team put in there and PPβs natural anti-charisma.
Took me a while ro figure out what you meant by a "Truth". I'm only just figuring out what "Xcreting" is.
As a Lemmy user, you're probably aware of Mastodon. And, last I heard, "Truth Social" is just running a hacked-up version of Mastodon, but without the federation. So, they really could be called "toots"...
Oh interesting. I suppose anyone could spin up an unfederated Mastodon server.
Wait, did we come all the way here just to return to forums? Even I had my own forum back in the 2000s

We can only hope that the same thing happens to Dutton on Saturday.
See if you can provoke Trump into "Truthing" about making Australia the 52nd state. It did wonders for the left-leaning Liberals in Canada. Your Liberals are right-wing, but they're slΙΙΉΗqα΄Λ₯ so I don't know if that makes things work the opposite way or not.
I was thinking about that, but that would require Me getting back on Twitter and riling the Orange Clown up about his Australian puppets.
Iβm not willing to jump on that grenade because I no longe have a Twitter account and I donβt want anything to do with him.
That would be so sweet. I remember last election it was pretty close for his seat but he hung on.
It was bliss when it happened to Howard in 2007

And boom goes the dynamite.
Yeah, back up above 50%. Any remaining polls would have to be massively out of whack with what we've seen so far to change anything.

Oh well, I'm tapping out. Damn. I hoped it would be official before I went to sleep, but the final few polls are just trickling in. But, I'm going to bed happy, so there's that.
Great job! Sweet dreams :D
Gonna try to pick up where merc left off, thanks for the work. Never used this much Markdown before, so cross your fingers.
