I find it really fucking hilarious he lost his own seat. The auction seems like it went well for canada. I wonder who the Liberals are going to form a coalition with
From yesterday's reports it looked like they won majority, so technically they don't need to form a coalition?
Edit: looks like they don't have majority and still need a coalition.
168 of 172 needed for a majority.
They won, but it's a minority govt.

I hope that works out well. Coalitions, cooperation seems best.
In ordinary circumstances I agree but with an external threat I kind of wish it was a majority.
At this point I hope they form government with NDP, and NDP agrees to not interfere with foreign policy at all but get concessions domestically, which is probably the best outcome of this election for Canada overall. Hopefully the number of seats that went Con off of vote splits for both NDP and Liberal actually causes voting reform to happen.
Best for Canada, but typically fall apart after about a year. We'll be at the polls again in 2026, and that's really not enough time to teach the tiktok generation about caring for others and why hate is bad.
Talking down to them and playing the generational differences card isn't going to help at all. Plenty of old fucks, mid life fucks, and young fucks that need education in this not JUST the youngest of voters.
but typically fall apart after about a year.
The last minority survived for almost 4 years.
Until the Trump Threat is neutralized (or at least muted) the BQ has common interests with the Liberals, so they could provide the needed votes to keep the government going.
And the NDP has no appetite (or budget) for another election in the near future, so they also have some incentive to play nice - and may even be able to get some more of their priorities acted on.
The Conservatives, of course, will continue to vote against anything and everything the Liberals propose, for no other reason than it was the Liberals who introduced the motion.
Spring 2028
There are a bunch of ridings that are still too close to call. The advanced and special ballots remaining have skewed heavily toward the liberals. They still may end up with a majority.
My bad then.
They do not need a coalition to form a minority government. They didn't have one last time either.
We'll have to wait a few days for the official results as special votes haven't been counted yet, they might end up being able to form an alliance with the Greens if they reach 171 seats. Otherwise NDP will be their option.
We’re doing Dutton here on Saturday.
We'll be watching from Canada
PP lost his seat, eh?
If only all cons would lose their seats the world would be a better place...
[cries in Florida]
Tangentially, his riding has like 91 candidates to protest against the first past the post system, which is pretty funny too
The ballot in the riding is over three feet long.
The polling staff were teaching people how to properly fold it so it would fit in the ballot boxes. They also had a sample ballot hanging on the wall and reminded everyone it was in “alphabetical order with the party name under each candidate” lol.
And the bastard is not even quitting. He said he’ll still be the PC’s leader.
he is a weasel.... he gave his speech early to be able to make false claims of stopping the NDP from forming coalition with the Liberals (which they did not) and that he would stay as leader which is extremely unlikely without a seat... specially about all the badgering of Carney for being an "unelected PM"...
PP, you are worse than unelected, the people you have worked for for the last 20 years do not want anything to do with you
specially about all the badgering of Carney for being an "unelected PM"...
I hope you’re right about this, but hypocrisy has never stopped conservatives before
I was watching his speech live on CBC and the seat counts were on the bottom of the screen. I shit you not, maybe 10-30 seconds after he said this bit about denying the coalition, the seats flipped over so the coalition was possible. It went back quickly after and then back to coalition possible. I laughed very hard.
I can't find a video where the reported polls are included like on the live broadcast though. It makes me sad because it was priceless. I believe the seats were 164/165 Liberal and 7 NDP.
God bless you Canada
There is simply no way they keep them on as leader of the party. That would be suicide. His strategy failed utterly and completely. The Liberals we're extremely unpopular and he should have won in a landslide and yet he fumbled terribly down the stretch. It should have been an easy needle to thread. Hell Ford did it, the fact that this idiot didn't understand that is all the reason why they shouldn't keep him on.
That was a seriously spectacular failure.
CANADA SAID IT DOESNT NEED A SMALL ~pp~
We don't want Trump's little PP, thank you.
Yay Canada! Y'all give me hope. Don't give up on US just yet.
This makes me think 2026 midterms could go very well.
If they ever happen.
They'll happen. They'll be voter suppressed, with federal interference and manufactured crises, and results from red states could possibly be entirely fabricated with little recourse. It's going to be touch and go even if anti-Trump sentiment is high.
They will, and I don't think that sentiment is very helpful.
So much winning!
Hahaha, buh-bye
