Interesting takes on CBC, but reality is that Polievre is shit. He lost this election because he is terrible, stupid, lazy and inept. He wasn’t ready for an election, he didn’t do his homework, he ran scared of the media, he is stupid (demonstrated by his understanding of electricity and bread). That he believed he could treat Canadians with such disdain and disrespect. He deserves the rest of his life as an insult stuck to the sole of my shoe.
Generously, Trump put him in a bind. On the one hand around a third of his supporters would be down with being the 51st state, or are at least fans of what Trump is doing. If he came out too hard against Trump, he could have bled support to the PPC,
Ironically, electoral reform would save the Conservative Party. It would probably split back into a more PC style centre-right party and a more populist Reform style party. I think an old Joe Clark style PC leader could have done better, but with ⅓ of the modern CPC Qonvoy supporting Trumpians, I don’t know that they could elect one. If they did, it would be Erin O’Toole all over again.
This liberal guy on CBC is super fucking annoying. He doesn’t need to be campaigning on the results show. JFC
Yeah way too eager, super annoying. The woman beside him is visibly annoyed with him it’s pretty entertaining
Yeah the blatant campaigning is unnecessary and leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Well, I did it. I feel dirty, but I voted liberal. Not that it matters here. First time ever voting liberal, but the cons platform is just so damn terrible. And my usual ndp vote for the past couple times doesn’t even have a hope.
A noble sacrifice.
It’s looking like people like you made the difference, based on the vibe of the early results. It’s close.
Edit: It’s pulling apart as things go on.
Maxime Bernier lost his seat. Yves- François Blanchet BQ has kept his seat but the BQ is poised to lose 12 seats.
Interactive live results pages are clearly losing this election.
Lmao PP’s on his way to lose his own riding
Imagine if he came in 91st. It’d be a heritage moment up there with balcony guy
Hahahaha that’d be incredible
Can’t believe the CBC Live news coverage … just a moment ago, they asked Conservative Jason Kenny what his thoughts were on resource development in regards to First Nations
What the hell do you think he’s going to say
It’s like asking a Irishman what his thoughts are of potatoes
Well…
Well. Liberal government.
A majority is still in play, too, which from the Atlantic results is surprising.
Trudeau wins a fourth election.
You know Trudeau isn’t in charge anymore, right?
Of course I do. That is how he won the Liberals the election.
Fuck off back south
Not without your momma
Well, let’s find out if we delay fascism for 4 years or not.
We best start fighting back regardless of how it turns out.
Oh yeah, to be clear if the libs win delay is absolutely the key word here. They won’t do shit to fight fascism so it’s up to the few that give a fuck to do it.
I suspect a lot of pivotal things will happen in the next 4 years. The fascists are at the point where they actually have to put things into practice, and that’s what brought them down the last time around. This election is just the first example.
So, maybe it’s not just a delay? Fingers crossed.
If it’s a minority government, the conservatives are going to be the opposition and they’re going to block everything.
They might still have to make a coalition with the NDP but most importantly, the Bloc québécois.
It’s up to us to demand that they fight it
Hahahahahahahaha.
Like actually though. Make them listen. Organize and withhold labour until we get PR and advances made against online hate speech.
I just have no patience to listen to “what if” the whole night.
CBC reporting that some people are finding that the elections Canada website is not working.

Thank you, I’ve added that link to the top of the post
This is not looking good so far. 🥲
It’s close, but remember the Conservatives would probably have to win an absolute majority, because nobody else wants to work with them.
If the east coast is representative, they get the most seats but fall short of that.
It looks fine

Elections Canada website down during peak voting time? Yikes.
Elections Canada website down during peak voting time? Yikes.
I respect the people at Elections Canada, but not their funding. I’m glad we do not use voting machines but instead still count votes by hand with people watching like a hawk.
Most likely a DDoS. 338Canada got DDoSed over the last 24 hours.
Russia playing games again?
I wonder if the election will be over as soon as the polls close in Ontario.
Kind looks like we’ll need to wait all night based on the initial results coming out of the alantic.
The powers that be decided this election is paper ballots only, so no counting machines to make it go faster.
I mean I get it, but the results will take longer than normal.
Honestly for the best, counting machines are potentially vulnerable to foreign interference.
Not really tho. That’s an American thing. Our elections are managed by an independent Elections Canada, not by individual parties. We protect our right to vote pretty well.
But to avoid any ‘argument’ that the Cons might throw up, Elections Canada decided this would be best.
Anything that runs source code can be hacked. I’m not talking about elections canada or one of the parties influencing the votes. I’m talking about foreign state sponsored cyber warfare undermining our election.
If it’s online. The vote counting machines are not.
You can 100% install hardware back doors. Anyone that says something can’t be hacked has never worked on secure products before. There is always a way in. Being disconnected from a network isn’t always enough.
If it’s online. The vote counting machines are not.
Many times a voting machine in America - not ‘online’ - still was reachable on wifi or bluetooth, and was thus very vulnerable.
For more info, talk to the people who secure America’s election, if you can find them after they were fired.
The powers that be decided this election is paper ballots only
More secure.
Fewer chances for PP to use lies to delay his inevitable loss.
Quebec and Ontario
An often noted oddity of the Canadian population is to draw a horizontal line at Windsor Ontario and a vertical line at Huntsville Ontario … everything south and east of that line is 90% of the Canadian population.
I recall in 2015 that when Atlantic Canada went solid red that was enough to show that the Liberals won entirely and the rest was just waiting the night out.
After this is all done, we need to rebuild the left in this country. We need the NDP to be putting forth bold policy proposals to neutralize the far right populist appeal of the fucking conservative ghouls.
We also need a better NDP leader. I like Jagmeet but he has not succeeded at this.
Charlie Angus should have stayed and taken over NDP leadership.
He was a candidate to head the party at one time, but they decided on Singh instead. Now he’s too tired to try again. But I do wonder about the parallel universe where things turned out the other way around.
Charlie is Canada’s version of Bernie Sanders, ie: he’d never be allowed to lead the party.
Such is the way of politiks these days.
We also need a better NDP leader. I like Jagmeet but he has not succeeded at this.
He’s in third place in his riding and it’s looking like he’ll lose his seat.
They need to replace Singh from the leadership … I have a lot of respect for him and I do appreciate him but you have to be realistic, the majority of the country is still very conservative Eurocentric minded population. The majority of the country do not identify with a politician with a turban. I have no problem with it but there are still many, many people out there that will never support someone like this. Singh also brings in the controversy and troubles of the Sikh / Indian controversies.
I hate to say it and hate to admit it but the only way that the NDP can grow is for the leadership to be replaced by someone who is white but at the very least someone who does not identify with a specific ethnic / religious group by wearing a piece of clothing to identify themselves.
I am a lifelong NDP supporter … I voted for them in my riding here in northern Ontario. But I do know from personal experience and from talking to people in my area that the greatest stumbling block for them voting NDP is that they just can’t identify with a leader who represents a very small ethnic minority in the country.
Singh wasn’t going to be able to overcome the polarization that Trump created. IN any normal election, he’s fine. But nobody wanted to chance a Polievre administration maple magaing our way through the next 3.7 years.
The majority of the country do not identify with a politician with a turban.
The majority of the country identify with a very narrow profile, and it excludes many marginalized groups that we both know need no more exclusion. So I am super-conflicted with the reasoning being “he’s not like most Canadians” being a reason to replace him, but I see where it absolutely will/has affected his image with the more rural regions.
We had a period of turmoil during Justin’s last run that had Mr Singh appearing narrowly-focused on a particular segment of the population, and it was hard not to believe that it was to the detriment of the rest of the country. I worry he will appear to put one group before the rest, and we really need to believe all groups are on an equal footing before he can hope for support from the Rurals.
No, just no. Singh is as Canadian as the rest of us, period. And for any racialized Canadians reading this, that goes for you too as far as I and millions of other Canadians are concerned. We don’t need to court the votes of racists and we should never feel like we ought to appease them; they either get educated or they spend the rest of their lives voting for regressives. The leadership of our diverse country ought to be reflected in our leaders and the days of trying to middle ground with regressives ought to be put firmly behind us.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and I’m a big brown long haired native guy … you can’t get any more obviously racialized a person as me.
I’m also a lifelong NDP supporter … I’ve been part of the party since I started actively voting just over 30 years ago and I even joined in election campaigns for the party in my region over the years.
And from those experiences … we can’t fool ourselves of what the dynamics of the country still are. You are right we should think the way you describe … that is what we should aspire to … but the reality is that that kind of mentality will only occur in decades or centuries, it won’t change any time soon or within our lifetime. I would love for it change sooner rather than later but that isn’t realistic.
One of the troubling things I noticed in the NDP was in union and worker supporters … as a group most workers and unions will support a party like the NDP … but as individuals they are more than likely to vote for conservative. They support socialist ideals as workers and conservative beliefs at home.
Which is why I honestly believe that at this point in history, we need a plain old older white male to lead the party … if Jack Layton had survived, we would have probably had him as Prime Minister at this point … it’s so sad that he left us before he had a chance to do anything.
And to engage peoples hard, negative feelings. The conservatives keep capturing the NDP’s natural base because they refuse to actually reflect their feelings and perceptions back to them. This whole “let’s get along, and cancel your bank fees” thing doesn’t resonate.
We need European style left populism, like Mélenchon in France, or Corbyn in the UK. The mainstream media are going to call us hippie socialists no matter how “costed” and “responsible” our platform is. We need to be going for the jugular.
Very much so.
we need to rebuild the left
Well, memberships are cheap and it’s easy to get involved at the riding level where you can vote for the local leadership at the AGM, help make policy at conventions, vote for the leader,… Membership has its privileges.
