Thanks God that my riding is no bellwether

I really thought that 51st state of the US push at the end there would save conservatives. Everyone knows how badly Canadians want to lose their independence, culture, healthcare, etc.

Seriously though, the next government should probably start planning for the refugee camps it’ll need on the southern border in the coming years. Or maybe build a wall.

You remain optimistic in 2025?

After PP's horrible showing post-Trump (and dozens of polls)? Yeah. Canada is the Western country with the best odds of remaining a democracy in 20 years, followed not so closely by Eastern Europe and Australia.

I hate how much of my mental well being was hinging on this.

Now, imagine if the election went the other way when you wake up, and you'll get the full American experience...

Congrats though. The last thing the world needs is more trump clones/wannabe dictators.

Seems early, but they usually have a pretty good reason to call things when they do.

polymarkets got the odds at ~75-80% of the liberals wining
