**Canadian Federal Election Results** 🇨🇦

How goes the vote in Nunavut?

R1, Nunavut is currently held by the NDP, but the Liberals are running a new star candidate that they hope will allow them to take the seat.

It could be close.

Thank you, R2.

Yay! Go, Nunavutians!

Trump does Carney another solid, this time on election day:

[quote]Latest polls show the Liberals ahead of the Conservatives, when only a few months ago the Conservatives held a 25-point lead.

The power of the orange turd.

I am thankful that turd has been so aggressively awful in his 2nd term. It made a lot of people who were considering voting conservative give their heads a shake

R4 - I think Dump was kind of signalling too that people should vote Pierre, because he’d bend over for him. Or at least I hope Canadians also read it that way and run to Carney instead.

N.L. polls are about to close

R4, Trump is such an ass. Hasn't anyone shown him the polling numbers in Canada show the majority of Canadians hate him and would vote for the Democrats?

R9 - Canada wouldn’t be a 51st state. It’d be a territory like Puerto Rico. Explain that to Maple MAGA though.

Conservative closet case Jason Kenney is on the CBC Election panel tonight.

I bet we’d be treated just as well as Puerto Rico too

Martime polls now closed

New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island & Nova Scotia polls now closed.

[quote] New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island & Nova Scotia polls now closed.

It’s Martime there!

A there any exit polls?

We won't see much movement for almost another two hours.

So far liberals have 6 ridings cons have 3

Conservatives appear to be doing a little better than expected in Newfoundland, but mainly in the rural areas.

Those are just leads so far though

Why does Trump say Canada is to be one state when it’s 10 provinces and 3 territories? Probably doesn’t even know they exist? Or he pronounces it like “providence” and just thinks they’re cities. He really is that dumb.

I'm flicking between CBC & CTV.

Because he probably sees it as one territory , R21.

Which coverage do you think is better, R22?

I can’t take the stress of seeing results come in across Canada. It’s too close for comfort for my liking. I’m taking something to knock me out and I’ll face the news when I wake up tomorrow.

No opinion yet r24. I just switched to TVA for a bit.

R23 He’s so fucking stupid.

Why not stay here with us for a while, R25? 😊

R26, any hot French Canadian guys hosting on TVA tonight?

Lots of grey hair r29. Mario Dumont is looking grandfatherly

Eeeeeeeeeeee!

[quote]Why does Trump say Canada is to be one state when it’s 10 provinces and 3 territories? Probably doesn’t even know they exist? Or he pronounces it like “providence” and just thinks they’re cities. He really is that dumb

Stupidity. But it's also a system he likes. Just like California gets only two senators.

Atlantic Canada - granted early going - seem to be following the polling. My call going in is a small Liberal majority. ~175 SEATS.

Current Seat Results (Leading & Elected)

LIBERAL - 16

CONSERVATIVE - 5

Yikes

13 to 13

now 25 L - 13. Up and down in the early going. But eeeeeeeee!

sorry! 15 - 13! Typo

now 17 L - 11...

Yeah we'll drive ourselves crazy watching the numbers change. I need a drink.

Canadians have been so impressive in rebuking the US. I fully trust they will reject the Trump-bootlicking conservatives

Is poutine a big thing while watching the results? Or fondue?

It looks like the Conservatives are performing a little better than expected in Atlantic Canada tonight. But it is also confusing which vote is in the Early vote vs. Election Day vote.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeh!

It's gonna be a Con minority. I'm telling you, the polls are wrong.

R42, maaaaybe.

The early voting might skew Liberal. The smaller rural polls report more quickly. But yes, it looks a bit better than expected.

R38 hooray!

Sean Fraser is gonna lose his seat.

R47, Too Early to say. I hope 6'5 hottie Sean Fraser prevails.

I'd like to see Sean Fraser's seat.

Beer r41.

At Issue panel!

Liberals 7% ahead of Cons in popular vote so far. Bigger than the average spread in the polls.

Holy shit, Libs not doing as well as expected in Atlantic Canada.

This is worrisome. I think conservatives are gonna win. The polls were way off in atlantic Canada. If they are this much off in the rest of the country.... yikes. Not looking good for Mark Carney.

R44 I think so too.

R51, is that the national popular vote figure or the Atlantic Canada figure?

How are the NDP doing?

Do the Bloc still want un Québec libre?

R55, I think just the vote counted so far, so Atlantic Canada. West of it is still voting.

R56, NDP vote down across the board.

Bloc leading in 1 Liberal riding so far.

Liberals leading or elected 22, Cons 10. I don't see a slide significant enough to give the Cons a minority. But the Liberals might get one now.

I've been saying that the polls were wrong for awhile, (mentioned this in the Mark Carney PM thread). I know people who are NOT conservatives.at all, but wanted a change. The LPC has had 10 years. I hate PP and voted for the Liberal candidate, but yeah, the Libs have had their chance.

About another 35 minutes until the Quebec & Ontario returns start coming.

[quote] Do the Bloc still want un Québec libre?

Mais oui, but not as vocally given Trump's presence.

Hung parliament maybe??

[quote] Hung parliament maybe??

Is Trudeau still on the ballot?

No r64. Mark Carney replaced him.

R64, Trudeau is well hung according to a DLer who saw him naked a couple of decades ago.

The risk is if the Liberals get the plurality they have no natural ally to work with... The NDP seem shut out.

Liberals move ahead of the Bloc in the one Quebec riding reporting so far.

If you look at 338, the results are tracking right against Fournier's call... except for two in Nfld.

R65 is tone deaf. :)

Liberals elected: 20

Cons: 6

Quebec and Ontario just got ten times as important.

The Liberals need to be pretty far ahead in Ontario and Quebec because Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC will be a big Con wall.

R72, yes, although Libs have some potential in British Columbia.

3 minutes

[quote] Before never like thriving is bottom ass scrawny a being career this however over be may career movie it!

R74, it's getting to be a nerve-wracking time! 😲

Bear in mind it's all hand count. And people still in line get to vote. So we're looking at a lag.

Wait, wait -- I thought Mark Carney already was the new Prime MInister? I love him!

266 seats coming with the 930 close.

OMG!!

What is it, R80?

If the NDP vote collapse in the Maritimes carries through to the rest of the country then the Liberals will get a majority.

I'm sick to my stomach.

OMG!!!!

WHAT R84????

ERMAGERD!!!!!!

It's gonna be a nail biter, R85!! There's no way the cpc should be doing so well this early.

Andrew Coyne just said that the Liberals have done WORSE in Atlantic Canada than they did under any of their minorities. Yikes.

Liberals up 12 seats over the Bloc.

[quote] OMG!!

Dyatlov right?

Is that good?

Oh, CANADA!!!

Hold me, David!!

Canucks, what is a “Riding”?

No, R91.

It's not good.

My prediction is coming true. There's no way now the Liberals will win a majority.

R94, a district.

Jason Kenny is delusional if he thinks prior NDP voters in Ontario are going to now vote Conservative.

A constituency, R94.

Current Results

LIB - 81

CON - 56

BQ - 11

NDP 1

[quote] Liberals up 12 seats over the Bloc.

That’s a very good sign.

No, R97, he's not. The Conservatives have been gaining with blue collar unionized workers for years now.

I think it's a small majority for the Liberals.

Something about Edmonton-Southeast. I can’t quite put my finger on it…

Poor Jagmeet!!

[quote] I think it's a small majority for the Liberals.

I think the difference between a small majority and a comfortable majority is going to come down to how badly the NDP vote on Vancouver Island collapses, and how much of it goes to the Liberals.

I voted liberal but even a con minority will leave us much better off than the us

I think CBC said to get to a majority the Liberals needed 18 seats and are leading or elected in 15.

Libs leading in the bellweather riding of Peterborough so far.

The people I know on Vancouver island voted green because it was between green and conservative in their riding.

Oh no.

Hah! That batshit crazy cunt Michelle Ferreri is losing her seat in Peterborough!

Americans: imagine if Marjory Taylor-Green impregnated Lauren Boebert and produced a horrifically retarded offspring.

LIBS now approaching 100 seats in the Leading/Elected.

leading and elected:

Liberals up 17 (need to win 18 to get to majority.)

Conservatives down 5

Bloc down 11

I am breathing a little easier. Just a little.

Chantal Hébert said the Liberals are getting the best results she has seen in Québec since Pierre Trudeau.

CTV is saying, based on results so far, Liberals will a minimum of 146 seats while the Cons can take a MAXIMUM of 146 seats.

Chantal is a national treasure.

Surely Chantal could use just even a drop of conditioner in her hair regimen.

François-Philippe Champagne, Liberal minister from Québec (and rumoured to be gay) has been re-elected.

CTV calls it for Carney

That's what I love about her, R117.

I ham zorry, I just god owd dof bed.

R119, Minority or Majority?

Liberals win!!

r121, that remains to be seen

[quote]The people I know on Vancouver island voted green because it was between green and conservative in their riding.

That’s what I just did, R109; our riding has always been quite polarised. On Vancouver Island, though, so many other ridings are projected to go Liberal rather than the usual NDP, which is crazy! I think people are really freaked out about Polievre getting into power.

For the Nunavut Troll: the NDP is leading in the very early vote.

R121 - he won his seat.

For American DLers... our national treasure... Chantal Hebert.

(And some of you think we aren 't really different from youse guys!)

Sean Fraser's 6'5" ass appears to have been saved.

You’ve got a way with words, R111.

“Horrifically retarded” will be my new go-to for describing DLers who constantly bring up Follies on the Theatre threads.

CBC PROJECTS A LIBERAL GOVERNMENT

Not sure yet whether it is Majority or Minority.

A friend of mine just tested that for the first time in decades their riding in Ontario has gone liberal

cbc just called a Liberal government! No call on majority or minority!

Thank God... I'm honestly kinda crying as I type this.

Another blow to Trump's fragile ego.

As an American dem it's a little funny feeling relieved seeing so much red on a map.

Did Carney and Poisonous Pierre win their respective ridings?

Sad that the NDP vote is collapsing but grateful that a right-wing party is being defeated.

No results from Ottawa yet r136

What a relief. Looking forward to being smug tomorrow to all of the racist hicks who wanted Milhouse to be our next PM.

R136... not enough votes counted to say but based on what little there, Carney has 76% of the votes cast.

Nothing from Paurevoir's riding. That's the one where the election protestors staged the 90 candidate ballot. It's going to be a cunt to count.

[quote] Did Carney and Poisonous Pierre win their respective ridings?

I’m assuming yes since the news coverage hasn’t mentioned them at all.

R136, I thought a poster upthread had mentioned Carney retaining his seat but I might have misunderstood.

I hope PPs career is over after this

So did the NDP do so badly because their voters tactically went for Carney or are there other reasons they are losing support?

R136, Carney doesn't have a seat. Yet.

I wonder if the Cons will realize they need to purge the Manning reformers from the party.

I would say that they went for Carney, r144 . They moved to the centre because they don't trust Poliver to deal with Trump.

I think I have a little crush on Rosemary Barton. I like her vibe.

I'll sleep ok tonight

R144 I think they parked their votes with the Liberals.

I think PP is done. It will take him a while to swallow his outsized sense of entitlement and finally listen to the calls of his party, but I think he's toast. He'll go full rogue now, move his family to Calgary, close to Preston, and circle jerk over their annexation fantasies

May Trump's inane threats so turn every election (including those in the US).

🎶Go, Canada!!🎶

[quote] I think I have a little crush on Rosemary Barton. I like her vibe.

My brother (in Carney's riding) calls her Rosepudgy Fartin'

19 seats to go to a majority.

I guess the average Canadian really isn’t as stupid as the average American

I'd say tactical r144. I feel bad for Jagmeet. He's a good man.

Apparently not

Carney has won his seat.

Carney wins his seat.

Mark Carney declared elected in Nepean.

Hey Trump, go fuck yourself, eh!

Tomorrow, Dump will be making more threats about 51st state and tariffs, and Smith and Moe will be squawking about separation.

The path to a majority is looking good...

bwwwhahahahaha, bwwwwhahahahahaha, Carney's win is a beautiful FUCK-YOU from Justin to Pierre "we demand an election immediately" Polievre

Jagmeet Singh's seat hasn't reported any results yet.

Does anyone else think Carney is a silver fox?

He seems smart and competent. I wish he was our leader instead of Trump 😔

R163, I'd bet money the first Governor Carney tweet within 24 hours.

Carney comes across as sharp and competent and likeable, with his banking past giving him extra gravitas. He's an impressive politician.

Yay! My riding flipped back to the Liberals in Toronto.

Pierre Poilievre trailing in the 1st poll to come in from Carleton.

Toronto St. Paul's, R170?

It’d be sooo sweet if Pierre lost his seat. Maple MAGAs would lose their heads 😂

Eight seats to 172...

Where's Justin tonight??

R172: yup.

CTV calls it. Minority Liberal gov't

Damn, R177.

Beat me to it r177.

Now the wait is for Pea-Hare's seat and his concession speech. I look forward to his pout.

Can someone explain to a dumb American the what a Minority v Majority gov't means for Carney going forward?

Jagmeet Singh trailing in the early results in his seat.

[quote]Where's Justin tonight??

On the couch in the basement passing the bong to Melanie, both howling with laughter and definitely living for Pierre's concession speech later tonight

R180, we have a multi-party system so a when the winner receives less than just over 50% it's a minority.

Green Party Co-Leader Elizabeth May's riding not in yet.

r180 to govern in Canada, you need to pass key legislation as in half the votes plus one in parliament. If you win the most seats but not half, you need to court the support of some smaller parties. This is good news for the Bloc Québécois.

It's good to see the Cons defeated, but they haven't lost by the margin that we were hoping.

Mark Carney is winning his seat.

What about PeePee??

R180, we don't divide government like you do. We have the Crown, as head of State, separate from the Executive (Prime Minister and Cabinet) which also rests within the Legislative, so a minority government could lose a vote in the house at any time. The Prime Minister and the Cabinet are responsible to, or must answer to, the House of Commons for their actions If it is a kind of legislation considered a confidence matter. Confidence votes are "explicitly worded motions which state that the House has, or has not, confidence in the government; motions declared by the government to be questions of confidence; and implicit motions of confidence (money bills.)

If a government loses a confidence vote the PM is obligated to go to the Governor General, representing the King, and tell her he has lost the confidence of the house. The PM likely asks for an election, which is automatically granted. If you have a majority you can't lose a confidence vote because your party has the most seats.

Liberals projected to win!!

Congratulations, Donald! You are now the first president to lose a Canadian election.

Minority governments aren’t ideal and have traditionally ended up in another election within a coup years or so.

R183 No! A minority government is where less than a majority of ridings are held by one party, and the leading party then must form a coalition with another party to get a majority of ridings.

It is NOT based on popular vote. In Canada it is quite possible to secure a majority in Parliament (without a coalition) based on a popular vote below 50%.

*couple

It's true.

I prefer CTV commentary.but.I flipped to CBC to hear what Chantal had to say.

CTV has just called it for a Liberal Minority government.

CBC did that over an hour ago. So what

R198, CBC is still saying it's too early to call a minority or majority government.

Trump has made Canada simultaneously angry, nationalist, and more liberal. A strange combo but these are strange times.

Half a year ago, the Conservatives were expected to win.

🤔

Here's a special message to Canadians from Trump! I'm sure it will warm all Canadian's hearts.

I had to go on Truth Social to get that screenshot and it's like an insane cult on there. It's terrifying. Like the Borg.

Gotta wonder what Trump was thinking or not thinking, in posting that. Could he just not resist the opportunity to "flex" and to goad and troll the Canadians on their election day, and he didn't care (or think) that his taunting would only help the Libs?

Here is my question about polling that I have never had an answer to.

I briefly worked for a polling firm about 20 years ago. In that era of call-display and rudimentary spam filters less than 1% of the people we contacted would answer, and for the phones, if they did, the rarely agreed to participate. When I was growing up, if you were contacted by a polling firm it was serious business. In the 21st century, it's an annoyance.

So the results are only representative of people who agree to participate, and (I would say) they are in no way representative of the population. BUT polls are big business and the media loves them, but are they still relevant.

You’re the one who worked in polling—-and you ask the DL?!

Doomed, I say.

I hope Jagmeet wins his seat.

Why are the seat counts jumping around and hiw did the networks call the election?

R89 hooray!

Rose Nylund of Manitoba is in the house^^

This outcome kind of doesn't surprise me. Paurevoir offered Canadians weary of Trudeau a laundry list of treats and promises and some revenge. Carney's campaign went into safe mode to preserve the lead. I think they went too far and that is reflected in the ambiguity we're still facing tonight. But what Carney has done is a miracle.

R203 - at one point a few weeks ago in a Fox interview with Ingraham, he said that Canadians were the nastiest people to deal with and that he'd prefer to deal with a Liberal government because they were easier to deal with and he would enjoy it more or some such shit. He just kept repeating over and over how nasty Canadians were to deal with.

When the Liberals and Carney are declared winners (fingers crossed) - Trump will probably take credit for it. "Look what I can do with just a few words! I rule the world!"...

Haha! I love it. Carney is wearing Red and White beaded bracelets on his left wrist.

The numbers keep changing because they are showing leading vs declared precincts.

[quote]Gotta wonder what Trump was thinking or not thinking, in posting that.

He probably gets off on it, seeing Canadians go crazy with every twitch upon the thread. Nothing is going to change the way things are now so he know he has nothing to lose with anything else he may say about Canada.

I was a minimum wage guy on the phones and I was there for two weeks before finding something better r205.

Still at min wage, I gather.

R99 that's looks amazballs. Why is everyone wringing hands?

Fingers crossed!

I’ve never been patriotic but Trumps acting like an asshole towards Canada made me more proud to be Canadian. We’re not perfect but we’re not vicious pieces of shit.

R217 that is an outdated update. Do your work

Carney won. That's all I care about. Stickin it to Trump

There's still 13 undeclared seats in Ontario where the Liberals lead.

R219 i know you know this but LOTS of us Americans are fond of our Northern neighbors, and we are sickened on way too many levels by all that is “Trump 2.0.” 🇨🇦 💕

NDP is leading in Nunavut!!

Not enough of you R223. Not enough of you.

We are all the Canadian lady at rr224

R219 You SHOULD be proud to be Canadian because there is so much for Canadians to be proud of. Im an Anaerican, a real Yankee Doodle dandee born of tbe 4th of July American, but I love Canada and its people. I always have. I treasure all of you.

PP is STILL trailing in his riding. Not declared yet but promising.

That count is way slow…it means nothing

So did Justin Trudeau quit for nothing?

CBC still won't call Minority/Majority

So if the Liberals only get a minority, who will they form the government with? The Bloc?

Also, is it my imagination or is Mark Carney quite short?

No r231. I think the results would be quite different as Trudeau had massive baggage.

They'll probably go bill by bill and work with the other parties. Sometimes minorities can be productive.

R233: about 5'10".

So a minority government but that shouldn't be hard for Carney to put together.

"As we’ve been reporting, the CBC and CTV broadcasters are projecting that Carney’s Liberals will win the election.

At present, the CBC is predicting that the Liberals will win 159 seats, while CTV says the figure could go up to 162.

That’s several seats short of the 172 seats that it needs to form a majority government."

R219 you should be proud. At this moment I'm ASHAMED to be American.

Paurevoir still trailing in his riding.

Is that Sikh guy gonna resign now that NDP bombed?

He just did. A lovely, heartfelt speech.

Carney is a centrist, so no more liberal excesses of Trudeau that DL was so allergic to over the years.

PP's sorta ugly-hot.

The current leading and elected of the combined Liberals and NDP just hit 172.

What's with PP'S wife? She looks like she's seething with anger.

PP still hasn't won his seat.....

I'm sad Carney didn't get a majority. The polls were way off, unfortunately. But at least PP didn't win!

CBC still won't call it. I think nobody is sure the status of the advance vote which was widely thought to favour the Liberals. We could wake up to a small majority tomorrow. Long shot but not beyond the pale.

R247 They weren't way off. The popular vote is roughly what the polls were showing this weekend with the Cons gaining on them. The issue is that the Liberal's typical vote efficiency in Ontario didn't work. There was some riding where the NDP/Lib vote split allowing the CONs to come up the middle, and it does appear that some NDP voters went blue.

That being said if the Libs can pull off 163 seats, they will have the 172 with the NDP and single Green seat to pass legislation.

205 of 266 polls reporting, Paurevoir still 4% behind the Liberal. ~2500 (?) votes.

R249 According to CBC Mark Carney had a 70 % chance of winning a majority. I also saw him at 180-190 seats in most polls. So yeah, they were way off.

Carney giving a great speech - generous, resolute, humble, determined and funny. He'll be a good Prime Minister at a critical time,

I think the Liberals played the campaign just a little too safe. They were so close to majority. They hid the guy we saw tonight a little too much.

If the number I just saw is correct, 165 and ndp 7, that means he has a majority with the ndp. That's good!

CTV is now saying *might* be a majority.

I thought CTV jumped the gun.

Bruce Fanjoy is a hero!

Polls reporting: 235 / 266

Votes: 60,867

LIB. Bruce Fanjoy. 49.6% 30,185

CON Incumbent. Pierre Poilievre. 46.9% 28,54

No matter the final result - looking increasingly likely the Liberals will be just below or above an absolute majority - this is an amazing comeback for the Liberals. They have effectively doubled their support since the turn of the year.

I love this Bruce Fanjoy guy.

CBC saying Liberals could get to 174.

R261, is that with the NDP seats added on, or if the final advance poll ballots break Liberal?

Nope, on their own.

I really hope Fanjoy holds on, but the gap is closing. It's making me nervous. I think PP might pull it off, unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong though.

It's less than 20 polls to come and he's still got a 2500 vote lead.

I was glad to see 6'5 hottie Sean Fraser hang on in Nova Scotia.

Another hottie, former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, was elected in Vancouver tonight. I remember some years ago when he was actually asked on a radio show whether he was cut or uncut and he answered (cut).

CBC saying there's a shot Liberals get to 174.

R267, what numbers are they basing that analysis on?

Bruce Fanjoy increased his lead over Pierre Poilievre in Carleton. It is now 3,076 votes.

256 out of 266 polls now in.

If my math is correct there should only be about 3,000 votes left to count in Carleton. Pollievre is 'pain grillé'.

Just like in the US, Canadian pollsters far overcounted the support of anti-Trumpism.

There was enough of it to change the election outcome R271. That's all that really matters. Polls are meaningless these days.

I'm surprised that it was just a 2% win.

Another Liberal flip in New Westminster so they're creeping up towards 172.

Libs just moved ahead in another seat and are now Leading/Elected in 168.

Anyone know which one it is?

Oh thanks, R274. I posted just after you did.

I think all the Canadians are asleep right now, R275!

How are you still up?

R277, it's only 1:00 AM on the West Coast.

CBC is still covering the results and some voters are calling in with their reactions to the results.

Yes, R271, but an interesting phenomenon, nonetheless.

Liberals up to 168 seats now. Still 4 seats short. Sadly I think they'll end just below what they need got a majority. Good thing is they have majority with NDP though.

Darn those Libs in Canada. They still managed to "steal" the election even with voter IDs being required in Canada.

Fanjoy extends his lead over Pollievre by another 500 votes! Pretty sure it's over now.,

The polling was accurate in many respects. The topline numbers show the Liberals & Conservatives each over 40% of the vote, which is not far off where the pollsters said. The Liberal number is bang on at 43.5% -- exactly where the final polls had them. The Conservative vote was bit undercounted, yes.

But the numbers for the NDP & the BQ were bang on also.

And the numbers coming out Carleton over the past few weeks suggesting that Pierre Poilievre could face a tough fight in his own riding turned out to be accurate, too.

Thanks for that update, R282. I'm glad that the voters in Carleton are rendering their judgement on PP's reckless support of the Trucker Convoy in 2022.

[quote] What's with PP'S wife? She looks like she's seething with anger.

After reading about her background, I really dislike her.

Her parents were immigrants from Venezuela, so NATURALLY, she would back the conservatives and their anti-immigration policy.

I will never understand people like that, who would deny others, the opportunities that they themselves, or their parents, or grandparents were afforded.

It's so selfish and anti-democratic.

Fuck this bitch. Her husband's loss is even more delicious, knowing what she's all about.

R285, yeah, she strikes me as an unpleasant person. Didn't she work as a staffer in the Stephen Harper Government?

Another Carleton poll has just reported, and Fanjoy increases his lead again - 3,695 vote lead.

Here's her career bio from Wiki, R286:

[quote] After working in retail and customer service roles, in 2008, at 20 years of age, Poilievre was employed as a parliamentary affairs advisor at the Senate of Canada before taking a job in the House of Commons of Canada. In 2013, she began working for then Leader of the Senate Claude Carignan as a parliamentary affairs advisor. She then worked for Member of Parliament Michael Cooper from 2015 to 2022.

[quote] Poilievre is a co-founder of Pretty and Smart Co online lifestyle magazine. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic she supported restrictions, but later became critical of public health measures in Canada.

[quote] In March 2023, conspiracy theorist Chris Sky falsely claimed on Twitter that Poilievre was CEO of Switch Health, a company that won contracts from the Government of Canada to undertake COVID-19 testing. Sky based his statements on output from ChatGPT artificial intelligence software.

[quote] In 2024, Poilievre launched "Their Stories Matter", a social media initiative to bring awareness to human trafficking. She also launched another initiative, "Lead Her Forward" with Vanessa Mulroney the same year

She really hasn't had much of a career, to be honest.

Looks like her husband is the family's main source of income, along with their two rental properties:

[quote] Poilievre and her husband have two children. The family owns a rental property in Orleans, Ottawa, which she bought in 2012 and took a mortgage on in 2020. Pierre Poilievre defended the investment as “helping solve the problem by providing affordable rental accommodations to two deserving families”. He also said his wife used the equity in her property to “maximize the best interests of her financial position.”

They called it! PP officially lost! Lol.

CBC CALLS IT FOR FANJOY

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Bye, bitch!

Girlfriend needs to cut back on the Arepas.

Counting of advanced votes now suspended for 5 hours - so no updates until later today. Probably a good thing as I was becoming obesessed with refreshing the CBC results tracker.

R293, I think CBC has a good format on their results tracker. A little more readable than the one at CTV.

Has Elections Canada suspended the vote counting to give the election workers a rest?

Posted by Bruce Fanjoy a few minutes ago:

[quote]Thank you, Carleton. As we’ve said from the beginning, together we can. I’m grateful and humbled by everyone who contributed to our campaign.

[quote]To all the people of Carleton, as your new Member of Parliament, I’ll work to bring us together. We are all Canadian. We have to look out for ourselves, and we have to take care of each other. Let’s get to work.

WOOHOO!

That fat blabbermouth Trump cost Poilievre the election AND his seat! There isn't a more resounding outcome than losing both the election and losing his seat. LOL!

Ha ha ha ha! Trump snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for Canadian Liberals! Well done, dickhead! It goes to show that not only is his allegiance only to himself but he knows fuck all about politics and cares even less about his would be political allies.

The U.S. House and Senate has been repeatedly warned but I guess they’re just going to wait until they’re all mostly flat out on their asses after next year’s midterms. I guess all the impeachment proceedings and investigations will be their revenge. Ha ha!

CTV has also declared that PP has been defeated in his own seat:

PP losing his seat is the icing on the cake 🎂

If you fancy a laugh, check out r44's post history in this thread

Somewhere, Doug Ford is getting ready to pounce on the CPC leadership like a Kodiak bear on salmon.

R193, a minority government doesn't form a coalition with another party, but they have to work with one to get legislation passed.

So a coalition by piecemeal.

R300 I know right. Jumping on any and every crumb that might back up his 'feeling' that the Conservatives were going to confound the polls and win.

We don't call that a coalition r303 in Canada. We've had coalitions before and they usually include a formal agreement on power sharing (a cabinet seat or two for the smaller party).

So a formal coalition or a piecemeal coalition.

Not at all a coalition, R306.

Usually? R305

It's not difficult. A coalition means the smaller party is part of the government and so would be expected to fall in line under Cabinet collective responsibility and deliver its backbench votes. A confidence agreement allows the smaller party to vote against the government except for confidence votes.

When it comes to Carney vs Trump I expect a lot more cooperation from the Bloc. Also the Bloc prefers a liberal government to CPC, as they have shown in the recent past. I can't see the Bloc supporting a non-confidence vote.

A coalition entails a coalition agreement. You negotiate with your coalition partner(s) on every single thing you want to pass over the next term and then sign a coalition agreement/contract. If your coalition partner breaks the agreement by voting against you, the coalition collapses and the election is called.

In a minority government, every single item on the agenda is negotiated as it comes up, and goodies can be extracted by the kingmaker based on various factors in any given moment. These are more unstable, for obvious reasons.

So far that’s four different descriptions of “coalition.”

Held my nose and checked out Fox news website, had to see how they are playing this. . Zilch, Nada, Nothing. Lead story is about Amazon , followed by Venezuelan gangs, more 'those pesky Dem' stories. State TV (fox) is doing its appointed mission.

Fox viewers and MAGA don’t care who’s in power in Canada. They know daddy Dump will take care of whoever it is and out them in their place.

[quote] So far that’s four different descriptions of “coalition.”

No it's not. Take your meds and get some sleep.

[Quote]Pierre’s biological clock may have run out.

Lol.

R315 I love that woman!

I belong to a group that in my redneck hometown and all last night conservative supporters were on there bitching about how they’re going to leave the country or move to Alberta when it separates. One guy went on some alcohol fuelled rant about how he made $100,000 a year but he had no money and it was the liberals and their voters fault somehow

So what happens with Poilievre now? Will he resign as leader or will someone have to vacate their safe conservative seat for him to run in a by election?

Imagine how PP is going to go in to full attack mode once the House reconvenes; PP use his childish barbs and name calling endlessly to try to take Carney off his game; Carney has no experience in the House but I expect he will manage well. Doug Ford can't throw his hat in the ring for the federal Con leadership fast enough.

Someone will vacate their seat, despite party divisions over retaining PP as their leader. PP has been a politician since age 24, I don't really know what else he would do, there's no cushy law firm job in the future for him, he'll fight to stay on as leader

Even if Pollievre steals a seat and retains the leadership, surely he's a busted flush? He'll always be the leader who managed to piss away a 20 point lead in 4 months. The Liberals just need to make him a Liz Truss type figure of derision.

I can’t honestly see the party wanting to keep him on as leader.

So many great comments...

[Quote]Guess Poilievre finally trimmed enough government—starting with himself!

[Quote]Wasn’t he the one all up and whiny that Carney didn’t have a seat but was a party leader? Interesting turn of events….

[Quote]Well he’s been saying “Canadians want change” and nothing says change like losing your own seat!

Unfortunately, the Green Party's hot co-leader, Jonathan Pednault, failed to win his seatr.

I don’t even know why the Green Party bothers to exist.

How many counts are left? 10?

R328 28 according to the CBC

[quote]I don’t even know why the Green Party bothers to exist.

A Pox on your House!

Love this guy, I’ve posted him on other threads today on other topics. He’s pretty much summed up the Canadian elections very well.

I asked this on the other Canadian election thread, but I'll ask here too. ... Has Trump stated that the election results were rigged yet?

R332 - the conservatives will probably blame Jhina themeselves

But who is president of Canada now? Why do they keep HIDING that update??? Probably a Canadian COMMUNIST that’s why!!!

There's always a tweet...

Have the Kids in the Hall commented yet?

Has k.d. lang commented yet?

Do we have a statement from Avril Lavigne?

Can someone ouija Alice Munro for her reaction?

Of course, Susan Dey has said NOTHING!

r336 to r339, in Canada, we don't turn to our celebrities for political comment

Sadly the NDP/Lib split the vote in several Ontario ridings that allowed the Con candidate to win. My parents live in London-Fanshawe which has been an NDP seat for 20 years, but it flipped blue because of the NDP/Lib split.

[quote] Imagine how PP is going to go in to full attack mode once the House reconvenes; PP use his childish barbs and name calling endlessly to try to take Carney off his game;

He’s going to have a hard time doing that from the HoC’s visitors’ gallery.

Who did that bitch Anne Murray vote for?

I guess Trump is waiting for the final results to determine if he tweets

R341 how could you? All of your celebrities are here in the USA, making money.

Libs have just ticked up another 2 seats (flipping one from the BQ), and forecast is now up to 169.

I actually hope that PP stays leader - he is so tied to Trump he will forever be poison. Doug Ford may want the leadership but he doesn't parlez nous français.

Just 8 seats to go now - looks like Libs will finish on 169 - with the NDP on 7, they should have a workable majority on most legislation.

Not a coalition

Can a Canadian explain how PP could "remain leader" if he lost his seat?

R351 - someone who won would give up their seat to him.

Stop, thief!

r352 The ultimate simp move. Give up your career in favour of the guy who fucked up what should've been a sure bet victory.

r352 Wow. Who would do that? And would PP then be potentially representing an area to which he has no connection?

R355 er, em…..that’s pretty common in the Westminster system.

I'll bet Poilievre will be given the boot by the party brass. Everyone must be sick of his yapping as opposition leader and he just proved that he can't successfully pivot from his years of MAGA-adjacent talking point. He has repelled potential voters, rather than attracted them, and losing his own riding is the last nail in his coffin.

He's in a more vulnerable position now, out of office, than last night, when he proooooobably had a seat. The knives will come out. They always do. He's less safe than he was.

But....

Minority governments have a typical shelf life of 18 - 24 months. The Liberals will be planning around that. The Conservatives have lots of money but to be leaderless with the risk of another election not so far in the future. The NDP have no money, no leader, and it seems unlikely there'll be a stampede of quality contestants for the job. Plus, the NDP lost votes to the Conservatives, which means some of the labour wing aren't swinging progressive when they swing away from the NDP. The NDP may feel some pressure to be seen, from time to time, to hang closer to the centre.

Point is, pragmatism may dictate they stick with Paurevoir and he gives all the rednecks in his caucus, which are many, a hard on. But not the gay kind.

Isn’t pp Pretty unlikable? I never liked the guy but I used to hear people say positive things about Stephen Harper and I know he fostered kittens. PP seems really vile.

I would say PP is of the weasel variety, like Vance or DeSatan.

Stephen Harper is very smart and was hyper-disciplined about running a right of centre party that people who would naturally incline towards the Liberals could accept and even vote for, while still keeping the Conservative’s natural base feeling energized and important. I have never voted for the Conservatives, but I would say that Harper really, really wanted to be Prime Minister, understood what the gig entailed (through the lens of his own politics), and, importantly, had the instincts and the stomach for it. I think he ran his party with an iron fist, but with less personal egoism than Justin Trudeau. In short, he felt like he was ready for prime time.

I would also say that he had the benefit of Canada’s much more regulated financial sector during the recession - thank you, Paul Martin - and having Obama (who Canadians love) as the President he spent most of his time in office dealing with.

The “I’m just a dad who loves kitties and playing the keyboard in my basement jam band” stuff sort of softened his Margaret Thatcher aspect - the steely ambition and lower middle class chip on his shoulder, but he’s still seen as a cold fish even by Anglo-Canadian standards.

More important- what’s Justin and his ass up to these days?

[quote] The ultimate simp move. Give up your career in favour of the guy who fucked up what should've been a sure bet victory.

How does he get the blame for Trump? It's not like he had any control over Trump.

He had control over how much he cosied up to and aped Trump and the MAGA right

[quote]How does he get the blame for Trump? It's not like he had any control over Trump.

It wasn't just Trump. He put all his eggs (and initially had great success) in the "Hate Trudeau/Axe the Carbon Tax" basket. As soon as these became non-issues he was fucked.

I find it really creepy how many Canadian MAGA types are saying whack shit about the the liberals winning. Like how we’ll all be starving and in poverty now. But somehow they’re also socialists? I didn’t like it when the cons won but I knew as an average person my day to day life wouldn’t really change and I was bummed but when on with my life and it was okay

Thanks r361. Good description.
