Well done.
Please let Dutton (also, Voldemort, Potatohead etc, Australian conservative leader) be next :)

I know nothing about canadian politics, but Fanjoy looks like he is having a lot of fun and joy. πΊ
I'd say I'm a fan of his.
To give a bit of context. The person in second, Pierre Poilievre, is the leader of the Conservative party and campaigned for Prime Minister of Canada. Canadians don't vote directly for Prime Minister. The country is divided into a few hundred ridings and each riding gets to elect a Member of Parliament. The party with the most MPs gets to form government, and their leader becomes the Prime Minister.
Not only has Poilievre failed to win enough seats for the Conservative party to form government, he might not even win his own seat. A seat he has held for 20 years. It would be embarrassing for him and hilarious for all the Canadians that think he's a dickhead.
Thanks for clarification!
not even win his own seat
As in he won't be elected as a member of parliament because not enough people voted for him in his region?
He wasn't elected.
Results are in.
Bro for real?!
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.

So, Canadians did want change.
Well you could say they didnβt want the kind of change where the whole country gets gutted and sold for parts.

I helped!
Same! Me and all the people I know in this riding as well.
Thank you guys!
Hopefully PP is done now. Sounds like its up to the party if he is still the leader? Without a seat that's going to be hard, isn't it?
It will be hard due to internal Conservative party politics, but there's nothing saying that the party leader has to have a seat in parliament. That's how Carney was prime minister without having a seat.
They will replace him. He failed badly and no one thinks he can lead anyone but liberals to victory. ;)
I am curious what they are going to do for a leader. Are they going to double down on the right-wing populist bullishit, or are they going to find someone reasonable.
Also, poor PP is going to have to find himself a real job now.
Normally I would hope they go back to their socially centrist but financially conservative stance, but I think Carney occupies that space very well.
Bernier and Pollievre I think show the MAGA approach is cooked here, people want substance and policy.

Sorry is this real?
Very real
Look at how close it was. Canada may want to start stomping down the Trump wannabes now or they will be where the US is in about 10 years (or sooner).
As someone watching from the US (and who has looked at possibly immigrating there) that's what I noticed too. It seemed like the split wasn't too far from Trump's current approval rating. Luckily Canada doesn't have to deal with the disaster that is the electoral college. This result however does make me really concerned about Canada's next big election.

I think "stomping down" is the wrong phrase to use. Regardless, I have a couple in my family... Asking them "how do I change your mind" or "what would need to happen for you to even consider the other side" has shown me some people can't be helped.
I wanted to vote NDP but I felt I had to vote Liberal to negate their PP vote. My riding is liberal this time and I'm super happy.
The ones that can't be reasoned with; They have to be stomped down. We tried to be nice to the maggots, but it didn't work.

Are people watching fox news in canada as well? Or is it twitter and facebook?
Rural areas without cable get a lot of Fox news stations with strong signals. I remember growing in Leeds-Grenville it was like 1 CBC station vs 3 Fox stations on the antenna.

Best news of the night.
Makes me feel a lot bettter about losing high quality men such as Jagmeet Singh and Jonathan Pedneault!
Oh no, did Jagmeet lose his seat too? I'm a liberal but Jagmeet is a good guy, didn't deserve that.
He did, and he's stepping down as party leader. Personally, I think it's a good thing. His leadership has been far too soft and cuddly. The NDP need a leader who will channel the anger a lot of Canadians are feeling at watching their quality of life get sold off to oligarchs.
I'm just spit-balling here, but is it totally off the table to dig up Jack Layton and elect him in some kind of "Weekend at Bernie's" type shenanigan?

I really like Singh. He is a GOOD man. A GOOD leader. I want to be at a party with him in the room. But I agree, he wasn't the factor in his fate. The centre left sacrificed the NDP for the libs because of the US. Strategic voting worked. If they hadn't this would have been a conservative win. It's acceptable because the alternative is disastruous.
Singh's cuddlyness was probably trying to follow Le Bon Jacque's lead. Fluffy warm and cuddly via Layton got the NDP some big successes and bigger hopes until tragedy struck.
I'm more worried about the next election. A minority in a time of great struggle won't go full term. I give this around 3 years. The libs can't win the next, no one goes 5 terms in a row.
Lets assume the Cons take the next, and the NDP get a bounceback from extreme liberal fatigue. Does the NDP need Hope or Anger? I'm not sure, but we saw a lot of rural areas be two way con/ndp. These areas would probably respond to channeled anger. Flip a few blue to Orange.

Can't agree! Muclair and Singh moved so far to center they destroyed the party. Not just my words, the party removed all reference to socialism from the party constitution.
It was a strategy that made a half-assed amount of sense during the years where the Liberals were struggling. Canadians (particularly Ontario) seems to like their politics roughly center. So if you want to supplant the Liberals as the main party representing the Left, you can't be too far left. Same thing happens to the Conservatives. Every time they drift too far right to appease the Alberta crowd, they start losing the Ontario suburbs.
Plus, "socialism" is still a bad word for most of the older population. You can get rid of the word, change none of the policies, and that will be enough to keep the "socialism bad" crowd happy.
