    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.

    “We denied a Liberal NDP coalition.”
    NDP immediately gains a seat, allowing coalition.

      It’s not even a coalition.

      Coallitons are when the party with the most seats (but not a majority) doesn’t form government because the other parties all work together to form government.

      When the party with the most seats (but not majority) forms government with the help of another party on non confidence votes , it’s just a minority government.

      They just try to scare people with the coalition talk to try and make it seem nefarious, such as when it almost happened to Harper, but it’s a legitimate part of how our government works.

      There was a point while votes were being counted tonight, we could have theoretically had a con+bq coalition government.

      Edit: and even as of right now, the cons+bq+ndp could form a coalition, but I can’t imagine those 3 parties ever working together other than to trigger an election via vote of no confidence.

        Not quite true. Coalitions are typically starting with the party with the largest vote count to invite others into coalition talks. If they find willing partners that make up a majority and there are enough commonalities between all the coalition partners they enter into a contract. And each party in the coalition participate in the government with ministers and everything.

        And the BQ wouldn’t form a coalition with the current CPC, they would need to get their house in order and move left a lot for that to happen.

        There was a point where the BQ could have been the only party keeping the Liberals in power though, the NDP and Greens didn’t have enough seats to help them pass a vote, but I just woke up and we’re back to the same situation as before the election… Would be funny if the Liberals get 171 and the Greens also hold the balance of power.

      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.

        Still awake for this.

        In all seriousness, even if he loses his seat he’ll get elected in another riding. They’ll push a con to resign in a safe riding and PP will run there. It could happen quickly too. The question is whether the party is going to kick him out or not.

          Carney can keep him waiting 8 months and (of that’s what happens) probably should to calm things down in the Commons.

            If this election has shown us one thing, it’s that the Conservative party is willing to ignore evidence to double-down on a bad idea.

    Interesting takes on CBC, but reality is that Polievre is shit. He lost this election because he is terrible, stupid, lazy and inept. He wasn’t ready for an election, he didn’t do his homework, he ran scared of the media, he is stupid (demonstrated by his understanding of electricity and bread). That he believed he could treat Canadians with such disdain and disrespect. He deserves the rest of his life as an insult stuck to the sole of my shoe.

        In the great words of Total Bastard Airlines, “Bu-Bye!”

        And in the great words of a Canadian celebrity that I won’t name, who asked me over coffee looking for his first job, “What’s a resume”. As in let’s resume looking for a job.

      Generously, Trump put him in a bind. On the one hand around a third of his supporters would be down with being the 51st state, or are at least fans of what Trump is doing. If he came out too hard against Trump, he could have bled support to the PPC,

      Ironically, electoral reform would save the Conservative Party. It would probably split back into a more PC style centre-right party and a more populist Reform style party. I think an old Joe Clark style PC leader could have done better, but with ⅓ of the modern CPC Qonvoy supporting Trumpians, I don’t know that they could elect one. If they did, it would be Erin O’Toole all over again.

      I mean, he’s very, very good at the firehose-of-soundbites style of campaigning. The dude has literally gotten elected for every year of his working life on it.

        His concession had a lot of poise and savvy. He’ll never win me over but I was impressed with his cooperative tone. But I know he hasn’t changed, and I know it is not in his nature to cooperate.

      the article I read about him said that he left his job to raise his children fulltime while his wife worked. then goes on to say his children are well into their post-secodary degrees so he’s been renovating his house and talking everyone’s ear off about how great it is because of its greenness. One of the things he’d like to do as MP is help other people renovate their houses the same way he did.

      Losing to Carney, a serious member of the financial class is one thing. But losing to full time parent of 2 adults, who loves eco-friendly home renos is another thing. It’s interesting that neither men has held a conventional job in 20 years. Not to mention the dynamics (esp gender) of one of them having spent the time being a homemaker and the other being a brainwrecker.

    Well, I did it. I feel dirty, but I voted liberal. Not that it matters here. First time ever voting liberal, but the cons platform is just so damn terrible. And my usual ndp vote for the past couple times doesn’t even have a hope.

      I said I’d never vote Liberal again and stay NDP hard liner after vote reform was kaboshed. No matter anyone’s opinion on that, it was why I voted Justin once.

        I don’t dislike Singh but I don’t think he was a good leader.

        I don’t think he saw his own failures coming, but I’ve been saying for a while this would happen.

        I don’t think he did a good enough job getting the message out to the working class, and that needs to be the NDP foundation. Unless it’s a worker party, what actually separates it from the greens?

        I actually do like most of their platform, and the platform is bold. I Also like that he did push for dental and pharma, but as released those programs are a huge frustration to me.

          I think he performed well in the debates. I wouldn’t be surprised if the NDP has trouble filling his shoes. Though they may be able to by picking someone who is more ‘demographically palatable’ to the average Canadian.

            That’s a nice way to put it, but I agree. Accept the sad reality and put forward a candidate who can realistically win. Once in power you can work on reducing racism/sexism etc.
