I appreciate Jason Kenney calling out maga North and The People’s Party.
Though I'm pretty sure that MAGA north pivoted to the CPC the same way the NDP broke for the Liberals.

"He's earned his right to stay as leader."
Dude it's not even guaranteed that he's keeping his seat.
Justin Trudeau glances at Pierre Poilievre and asks “First time?”
What a terrible song.
What, you don't like country-gospel with awkwardly rammed in mood board words?
"We denied a Liberal NDP coalition."
NDP immediately gains a seat, allowing coalition.
Yeah. The staying on as leader thing can be put down to the "close loss" speech being written ahead of time. Not sure why he didn't change that part, though.
He could still get his seat, technically.
That was awesome.

Singh just stepped down and hopefully the change will mean more potential for the NDP in the next election.
I'm Indigenous Canadian and I fully wish that we could have a country and a political environment where we could support and stand by a visible minority to represent a major political party. But I have to temper that with the knowledge that our country is not fully ready for that kind of person. As much as we would like to believe that we could become a more progressive, open and accepting culture, we are still not there and it will be a few more decades or lifetimes before that can become a reality.
It would be more possible if we actually had an election system that was more representative of our people's wishes .... Proportional Representation would make it more possible to have major political leaders and politicians who represented visible minorities.
I would honestly love to see Wab Kinew take a run at the federal leadership.

Wab Kinew seems to be doing well. But I don't know if MB would give him up.

This might be the most interesting thing so far, actually, with the orange-blue swing votes in second place.
Poilievre could leave this as a freshly minted lobbyist: His first normal job.
Hopefully it's in the American regime and we never see him again. Opps...was that out loud
