[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Mulroney was way more moderate than Poilievre. And that was a long time ago. The Bloc and their voters still aren't fans of the Liberal Party (understatement), but they despise the Conservatives even more.

Money. If you're Canadian and you want the NDP to recover I recommend you start donating what you can to them.

There's more to it but money is a big one.

I'm 4 rooms and a basement away but I can hear yelling. Not really sure what about.

Thought I caught something about "not even a citizen, why do they get to decide" but not sure what the reference is.

Langley Township if that matters.

Just as I expected, he's not stepping down. He's not the sort who would willingly step down. There's going to be a fight in the party over this.

I refuse to believe any PR person in the party thought claiming victory in 'preventing' a Liberal+NDP majority while a majority was still on the table was a good idea.

ESPECIALLY considering it was literally during that speech it flipped to a projected 172 combined.

Ah, my best friend lives there. It's looking likely to go Conservative and she's pretty upset about that and understandably since I imagine no trans woman particularly wants there to be that many Conservatives living in their neighbourhood.

Hey, you got another chance in a few years. Just always make sure you keep a close eye on the polling in your riding before you decide who you vote for. I'm confident that if the Conservatives stop being as insane as they currently are I'll be safe to vote NDP next time myself.

Liberals + NDP currently at 172, and add the one Green Party.

My riding is really close (less than 1000 votes difference). And Poilievre still down 2000 in his riding. Looking like good news all around, but it's still unbelievable that so many people are succumbing to the right-wing narrative... economy is broken (it isn't), so let's not vote for the actual economist, and vote for the guy who says he will change things, despite not having a real plan.

Correct but if they do it'll be a VERY slim majority and they'll still need to work with Bloc and/or NDP.

Not really unless there ends up being notable descent in the party and if that happens, the Bloc and NDP might not be enough.

My overall feelings from the results tonight?

I have historically voted for all three major parties in Federal Elections. I truly believe that everyone I know wants things to improve for their family, friends, and neighbours.

I feel that this election was Canada coming together to say that they do not want the hawkish hard right wing politics that Trump is making infamous right now. We as Canadians, to our core, are not largely identifying with hating others. This is also showing that a hawkish hard left wing approach is not what Canadians want with the NDP coming out oddly aggressive towards everyone.

It is my hope that the Conservative Party will move away from that messaging and return to their values of economic responsibility and supporting traditional values. The NDP will move away from their recent vilifying of people and show the compassion and need for social government programs they have normally focused on. The Liberals will try to find the middle ground between it all and govern with humility and transparency.

No, they'll definitely have to considering they know the only reason they won this was because of the people who would have voted NDP and Bloc switched to Liberal. A slim majority isn't going to be enough for them to just comfortably ignore them. If they got the large majority that they were expecting like a week ago before polls started shifting then yeah but that's just not the situation they're in now.

They don't need to work with the parties, just please the voters. You're assuming that the voters who flipped have some kind of lifelong allegiance to these parties and aren't there for policy, but a lot of them have room for the liberals to potentially win them over on their own and they'll have a locked in four years to do it.

Never count out Canadians' love of nationalist grandstanding. And they finally had a good reason to display it. I think it shows that liberals can win against the global rise of fascism if they win the argument about who can be patriotic.

Pierre's deficit just expanded from 2.7% to 2.8% with just over 7% of the vote left after 2-3 stagnant updates. It's going to be close but he is in an extraordinarily bad position.

It depends if he has a cult following similar to the size of Trump's following. Conservative voters in general, with how much propaganda there is around the world, do tend to be cultish. So it wouldn't surprise me if Pollievre has his group of followers. Though seeing how he lost in his own district, it's likely he doesn't have that big of a cult following thankfully.
