True....even SNC-Lavalin only got a couple of pages. Still, we have plenty of Canadians here, so what the hell, right?

CBC makes it official the Liberals will win a third term, but will it be a majority or minority is yet to be clear.

Poor Green Party. They're being slaughtered. In my riding even the Maverick Party has more votes than them.

Right? The Greens are murdered and the People's Party is ascending. Worst of all, the numbers show it'll be another Minority Government, which means another election in two years. In the meantime, the question now is whether the Tories can make enough gains to keep O'Toole in and who's going to replace Paul as Greens Leader as her short but stormy tenure is doubtless ending tonight. Singh will likely stay as the NDP's doing all right.

Well, here in the West we have the Maverick Party too, which is likely splitting the People's Party vote.

On the plus side, Bernier lost Beauce again, and personally, I think he should look at moving to Alberta or Saskatchewan for a better shot in '23.

It also remains to be seen whether O'Toole will keep what he's doing or try and shift rightward to capture PPC voters.
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.

He'll have to shift rightward with Lewis in his new shadow cabinet, which she'll definitely be in. I know I keep saying it, but her Western popularity means her brand of conservatism is going to play a major role in the new caucus.

Or just burn it, it's clear he's never stepping into Parliament again under his own banner, and I doubt O'Toole or the Conservatives want another 1993 Reform split.

Well it’s official, Libs won a minority government. But Trudeau shot himself in the foot for this, he’s proven that this election was pointless and a waste of over 600 Million dollars. And in 6-18 months another election may be called, making another 600 Million down the drain. And 2 minority governments in 2 election won’t sit well with most people. And a few Liberals MLA’s lost their seat due to the election.

They did, but the overall numbers are damn near status quo ante bellum for the two parties. The NDP made the biggest gains so far, and the Greens just might take Kitchener Centre...though Paul's days as leader are numbered, I think.
