Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.

He's literally a banker. A gift to the neoliberal status quo, who will quite obviously not making anything even 0.01% better for the lives of working class people.
Typical.
Too early to tell but probably not hugely different on substance.
Bummer
The second coming of Stephen Harper
Did Trump tariffs single handly nuke the conservative momentum in Canadia? 
Reminder that Carney was PM without elections for months before today and there's a picture of him with Ghislaine Maxwell. Shit drives me mad.
Liberals won
Oh, didn’t know Hexbear started their own party in Canada! Congratulations guys!
On the plus side, we'll never have a prime minister PP.
Captain Underpants-sounding name
Tragic, the CPC was so close to winning 
F in the chat for some of our best MPs. Niki Ashton, Matthew Green, Laurel Collins among them. Some of Canada's most progressive voices and most outspoken allies of the Palestinian cause in Ottawa.
They will be missed.
Edit: Just wanna drop this speech here that Green gave about Gaza last year. Probably the best one even given in Parliament.
Ouch. Losing all the "young" voices in the party hits me right in the boingloins.
Yeah, they're all in their 40's. But thaaaat's politics! 
Might even lose Mike Morrice too.
This is a really, really disappointing election and is only going to lead to shitty policy and probably a conservative majority next time. But of course the only national conversation is, "we stood up to Drumpf!"
oooof Ashton :(
Hey, look at that! The NDP is about to realize they just wasted the last eight years on this dipshit, who's currently getting clowned on in his own riding.
I'm so fucking glad Jugmeat is being replaced
I struggle to keep other countries' political parties straight but I recall feeling like Singh was kinda a liberal coded conservative, like Biden or the typical Blue Dogs. Is that accurate?
edit: Thanks all
The NDP is typically to the left of the Liberals in Canada but haven't had their shit together in years. Mostly kind of exist for people to vote for them when the Conservative party isn't threatening a victory over the Liberals.
No. He's the only federal leader who has called what is going on in Gaza a genocide.
Not really. If I had to describe him in American terms, I'd say he's AOC with zero rizz. His sole political talent is getting libs in Vancouver to donate to the party, then not bother to show up to vote.
Hexbear wins? Yeah!
