^ concession speech and resignation as leader?

Isn't it embarrassing to not even win your own riding?

Nardwar strikes again.

Doesn’t matter who won, we’re due for a recession anyways, the common folk is leveraged to the tits. If pp won we’d all blame him for the recession and vice versa. Same shit different day

Can pp even be leader if he lost his seat?

Krusty Clark did it, she lost to David Eby in her own riding and had to force a by-election in Kelowna to get a seat.

Well... turns out I was right. I was saying I wouldn't be shocked if the Liberals won a majority with the elbows up rich boomers all voting red out of fear.

But I have some good news, turns out, my father was an American citizen when I was born, and according to the laws, I qualify for dual citizenship. In fact, I'm an American citizen by birth. Can't believe it took a Carney win for me to actually look into this.

Soooo... I'll be getting my father's birth certificate and military records and applying for a USA passport in Vancouver sometime soon. Movin' to Gnawleens once I get my proof of citizenship.

Have such a bad feeling about the future of Canada.

^ best news I've heard all night.

Anyone else getting creepy ass vibes from this guy in the blue suit standing on the liberal stage? Shifty mfer

Are you going to sew us some t shirts?

I'm OK with a Lib minority, going back to compass, I was centrist and Lib values and Con values were equal distance apart. Large Con contingent to keep Lib focused on economy, affordability, and no wacky Turd stuff to distract from what is central.

Q though ... how long can this minority government last? I don't want to see PP constantly put confidence motions every other week ... well, first he has to pay a Con with a seat to step aside.

Who does Libs find a partner with to pass bills? Might not be enough NDP seats to dance with, so he has to get Bloc on his side!

At least in that case the provincial liberals had a majority in hand when they did that.

PP doesn't even have that. If your party loses the election AND you as the leader lose your seat, that's gotta be a good indication that no one has confidence in you.

yeah cause the US is heading in such a great direction rn lol

Leave your kid and baby momma behind? nice.

Yeah but they've got RFK Jr. running their Dept of Health, that's all Jason needs, his kindred spirit running anti-Vax campaigns until the cows come home. Surprised he didn't run for the border months ago.

This is my first time serious about voting. I switched from conservative to liberal because I was more aligned to their policy, but damn Pierre speech at the end was wholesome. Liberal better hold on to their words.

gotta hand it to the guy for losing gracefully and not pulling some trump shit.
that being said, that's how you're supposed to lose and that should be the norm, rather than go out crying like the orange man

Of all the present and past leaders, Carney is the most difficult to listen to. He has to learn how to make a speech and not chair a meeting. His cadence and placed to pause are all wrong. PP, Jagmeet are both better ...granted, they have had more experience.

Under normal circumstances I would agree but PP got the Cons 42% of the vote and gained 20 (as of this time) seats. Under normal circumstances, he did a great job and probably would've won a majority. Justin's 2015 majority was with about 38% of the votes. 42% I think would be the highest in Conservative history. This election has been anything but normal... lol

That's how they used to do it. Not sure what the hell happened in the last 15 years over in America.

The family has one of their vacation properties down there. I am going to join them when they go back.

Reality check, chief:

GDP smack-down: $27.4 TRILLION (USA) vs. $2.1 TRILLION (Canada). That’s a 13× gap.

Corporate muscle: 139 U.S. firms in the Fortune Global 500; Canada limps in with 14.

Brand clout: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla… all American. Canada’s top brand barely scrapes the global top-100.

Unicorn census: USA: 653 billion-dollar startups. Canada: 21. Try not to blink or you’ll miss them.

VC firehose: $170 BILLION poured into U.S. startups last year; Canada got $6 B. That’s a near-30× funding gap.

Patent factory: U.S. inventors filed 10× more international patents than Canadians. Ideas live south of the border.

R&D horsepower: America spends 20× more on research and cranks out 5× the scientific papers.

Brain drain nightmare: Two-thirds of Canada’s best STEM grads bolt for U.S. tech hubs the moment they get their diplomas.

$100 jason ends up in El Salvador

:lol :lol :lol

I'll have my USA passport, I'll be fine.

The boomers really, really, REALLY rallied behind "elbows up" and the Liberal party. Canadian boomers are the most staunch Liberals because they probably gained the most from real estate and immigration, and had one job their entire life and a great pension, along with watching the CBC for their news.

Boomers have such a narrow range of things they think about and care about, I knew Carney was going to win, just whether it was going to be a majority or a minority was the only question.

You realize boomers are less than 24% of the population now and their numbers have been declining for years right?

I am totally expecting Carney / the Libs to ask BQ to prop up their minority gov. After all, pandering the Quebecois used to be a normal feature of Canadian federal politics. And why would BQ say no when their sole purpose of existence is to disproportionately reap as much benefits out of the federal gov as they can for their own province? (usually at the expense of the rest of Canada, I might add)

In this sense, I can totally understand the frustrations that Alberta feels. They basically want the same special treatment and perks that Quebec always gets from Ottawa, but they never get it (while Quebec does), and they are the ones that are funding Ottawa to appease Quebec!

But boomers VOTE. I wonder what the % of boomers voted compared to the 18-30 demographic.

Man, 9 years of the Liberals and now another term. Canada is just going to continue to get worse and worse.

If things stay the way they are, Libs only need 4 votes to pass any bill, they can dance with the 7 NDP members as well.
