The PPC outcome made me laugh though.

I cannot for the life of me understand how the unprincipled, corrupt, freespending Liberals got re-elected, albeit with a minority. How on earth can so many people be so dumb? And Blind?

the political status of the Philippines is worse. I'm thinking the US would be a better bet.

Land and labour is inexpensive. Buy an island and build a wall.........

Combination of factors. Conservatives are too far dependent on out West to take enough of a stance on Climate Change to sway many younger voters. Scheer was seen as not trustworthy enough of a leader to really coerce those on the fence. Also the PC decision to basically lock Doug Ford in a closet for the last few weeks of election vs using him to try and campaign may have hurt more than helped.

If you look at the numbers Conservatives barely won the popular vote but FPTP means the Liberals still grabbed more ridings. However I don't think a proportional representation model would be any better as all it would have really done is give the PC's one or two more seats over the Liberals and handed a bunch more over to NDP resulting in even more a lame duck.

Biggest takeaway here is more of the voting public are in favour of PC government over a Liberal one but the PC's really really really need to evaluate the way they platform and campaign if they ever hope to gain a majority government.

Best part, try and find anyone willing to admit they voted Liberal.

I'm staying away from socialist websites like reddit to avoid going ballistic on people. It's impressive, however, how easy it is to convince people to vote a certain way.

I may be a liar, corrupted, racist and worse than my counterpart but all I need to do is say "Doug Ford" and win. Not saying trudeau won big last night but the liberals maintaining party status is enough of a fail for the country.

I want to start my own political party, call it the common sense party of Canada... Basically a true middle ground party not left or right but taking the best of both parties and running with it.

That was a great Monday Night Football game...so glad I stayed home and watched it all...LOL.

A promise is a promise. I said I would because some guys here were just too tunnel-visioned. Although I didn’t vote directly for the Libs, I didn’t vote Conservative either, which ultimately is a vote for the Libs anyway. And it’s the first time I haven’t voted Conservative since I don’t know when. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to have done this either.

So good, I’m glad he won. People who blindly squeal the virtues the far right will ultimately scare a progressive, who might have otherwise voted conservative, over the line to a party that’s more moderate.

And that’s exactly what happened here. Everyone thought Trudeau was going to fall. The Uber Right got all riled up and into a frenzy about it and revealed themselves for who they really were. And that’s not a Canada that most want to live in.

The Libs were punished for their errors and given a minority. But a minority of this structure is hardly a minority at all. They only two parties that are going to hook up are the Greens and the NDP, and they are both more in line with the Libs than the Cons Or Bloc. So really, it may appear as a minority but I don’t think it’s going to play out that way.

Sooooooo...... we're still getting free smores? right?
