Did everyone notice how this election wiped out all the previous leaders and now we're faced with being introduced to a new crowd of political leaders.

Elizabeth May with the Green Party is the only one still standing.

Pp did not resign and indicated he would keep going

Resign or not, his career is finished with the conservatives. Every leader before him who failed at an election was removed, asked to step aside or pushed out.

Not necessarily. He did very well on the vote share front. There will be a leadership review, but I could see him getting a second shot once Carneys shine has worn off. Minority governments seldom last very long.

As someone who typically votes NDP, I’m fine with the idea. I didn’t especially dislike Singh, but I didn’t especially like him either.

Of course I don’t especially like Carney either but he was the safest choice to block PP and he did.

I want to see an NDP federal government someday, but Singh wasn’t really resonating with many people. Hopefully whoever fills the spot inspires more confidence.

that summarises my feelings. the NDP did a lot of good, but needed to hold the liberals feet to the fire more.

They supported the Liberals when they broke up union strikes, and when they did mass immigration after the cost of living exploded and we finally had wage pressure.

What is the point of the NDP at that point, just to prevent white people from speaking at rallies?

A neighbor from the south would like to send his congratulations. Thank you for not following in our footsteps!

Every position of power needs term limits.

We can not allow our politicians to get comfortable ever.

It always leads to corruption

Term limits are artificial. You like lame ducks?

You probably want a permanent leader, don't you? It's ok to admit it.

"Politics should not be a lifelong career, and elected officials should not be allowed to fix themselves in the halls of power of a nation... Therefore, I would institute a limit of two terms for members of Parliament" - Pierre Poilievre 1999

How did I go a whole election cycle without seeing this?
